Abstract
Current mobile devices have surpassed its boundaries as a more communication tool to a smart device which provides additional features. These features have supported the smart life of its users, but have reached its limit from low-performance processors and short-battery time. These issues can be resolved b implementing higher performing hardware, but they come with a burden of high cost. This paper introduces a new way of managing computing resources in a mobile device by enhancing the quality of human-computer interaction. The real-speed felt by users are mainly influenced by the time it takes form a user's input to the device to display the completed result on the screen. Since the size of the screen for mobile devices are small, if the processor only fetch data to be used for displaying on screen, the time can be significantly reduced. MVC+Prefetch Controller pattern accomplished this goal by using the minimum amount of data from DB to fetch display and still manages to support high-speed data transfer to achieve seamless display. This idea has been realized by practice using Samsung mobile phone S8500, which demonstrated the superior performance on user's perspective.
