Abstract

See full text

A method of collecting information on a wireless device. A wireless device may comprise a processor, a transceiver, a memory and a data collecting component. The data collecting component is operable to monitor the wireless device and collect information (e.g., wireless network information, wireless device information and wireless device usage information). In one embodiment, at least a portion of the data collecting component is installed within and/or below the operating system. For example, at least a portion of the data collecting component may be embedded within the operating system, the kernel, the firmware and/or on top of the firmware, the kernel or any combination thereof. In one embodiment, the collected information may be processed, stored and transmitted. Accordingly, the data collector component operates in a non-intrusive/transparent manner by utilizing less memory space and produces fewer errors without causing a system slowdown while maintaining high level of privacy and security.
