Abstract

Methods and systems may facilitate access to media. A mobile computing device may manage media associated with links by evaluating factors that may affect battery life. The mobile computing device may obtain information about the media associated with the links, such as metadata indicating file characteristics, identifying information, and analytics. The information may be included in the media or obtained from a server. The mobile computing device may evaluate factors that affect the device's ability to receive and render the media. Such factors may include the battery charge state, signal strength, connectivity, or media characteristics (e.g., size, complexity, etc.). The mobile computing device may prioritize the links associated with the media based on the evaluation of the factors, such as by sorting the links by rank. The mobile computing device may also hide links, display warnings/indicators, display links in particular manners or formats, and automatically download the media.
