Computer-implemented method, mobile device, computer network system, and computer product for optimized audio data provision

A mobile device comprising:

• a memory to store instructions;
• and
• a processor to execute the instructions to:
• evaluate one or more parameters of a network connection associated with the mobile device,
• the network connection relating to a connection of the mobile device to a network for access of a server;
• determine a signal strength of the network connection based on evaluating the one or more parameters;
• set a threshold speed based on the signal strength of the network connection;
• download a test file from a server device,
• the test file having a predetermined size;
• measure a download speed of the test file;
• determine whether the download speed of the test file satisfies the threshold speed;
• and
• selectively download, based on whether the download speed of the test file satisfies the threshold speed, audio data,
• the audio data being downloaded as an audio file, from the server device, when the download speed of the test file satisfies the threshold speed, and
• the audio data being downloaded as a text file, from the server device, and the text file being converted to the audio data, via a text-to-speech application, when the download speed of the test file does not satisfy the threshold speed.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions which, when executed by a processor of a mobile device, cause the processor to:
• evaluate one or more parameters of a network connection associated with the mobile device,
• the network connection relating to a connection of the mobile device to a network for access of a server;
• determine a signal strength of the network connection based on evaluating the one or more parameters;
• set a threshold speed based on the signal strength of the network connection;
• download a test file from a server device,
• the test file having a pre-determined size;
• measure a download speed of the test file;
• determine whether the download speed of the test file satisfies the threshold speed;
• and
• selectively download, based on whether the download speed of the test file satisfies the threshold speed, audio data,
• the audio data being downloaded as an audio file, from the server device, when the download speed of the test file satisfies the threshold speed, and
• the audio data being downloaded as a text file, from the server device, and the text file being converted to the audio data, via a text-to-speech application, when the download speed of the test file does not satisfy the threshold speed.
