Abstract: An electronic device may offload an application to a network storage to free up storage on the electronic device. For instance, an application file and, in some cases, associated application data and/or saved application state information may be stored at the network storage and deleted from the electronic device. Subsequently, a data management module may receive an instruction to onload the application back onto the electronic device, such as in response to a user input that selects the offloaded application, a determination that an upcoming activity may include use of the offloaded application, or a determination that a user usage pattern indicates that the offloaded application is likely to be used. In response, the data management module may download the corresponding application file from the network storage. In some cases, the electronic device may also receive associated application data and/or saved application state information from the network storage.

Abstract: Some examples include repurposing a mobile device for performing a plurality of nonconventional functions, including a fire detector, a radiation detector, and a Wi-Fi repeater. For example, the mobile device may be configured to serve as a fire detector by one or more modules that may use an onboard camera, microphone, and temperature sensor to monitor an area for fires. In addition, the mobile device may be configured to serve as a radiation detector. For instance, a camera image sensor and/or the memory on the device may be used to detect elevated levels of radiation in the vicinity of the mobile device. In response to detecting a fire and/or radioactivity, the mobile device may send an alert notification to another device. Further, the mobile device may be configured to concurrently serve as a Wi-Fi repeater, such as for extending a range of a wireless router, or the like.
