Mobile device mapping for wireless access point connection management and device automation

A device, comprising:

• a communication interface;
• a memory to store instructions;
• and
• a processor, coupled to the memory and the communication interface, to execute the instructions to:
• determine, using first location data, that a client device is located in an interior of a premises in which multiple wireless network access points (APs) are deployed in a wireless network;
• identify, using second location data, a plurality of locations of the client device within the interior of the premises;
• obtain, for the plurality of locations, a dataset including wireless network signal strength values corresponding to signal coverage areas associated with the wireless network APs;
• generate, using the dataset, a wireless network mapping corresponding to a layout of the interior of the premises;
• determine that an accuracy level of the wireless network mapping meets a threshold level;
• provide, based on the determination regarding the accuracy level, the wireless network mapping to the client device;
• evaluate, against a first set of connectivity rules that override a second set of connectivity rules that are not based on the wireless network mapping, the wireless network mapping with respect to at least two of the signal coverage areas that overlap, wherein the first set of connectivity rules define a set of operations for connecting the client device to the wireless network as a function of the plurality of locations;
• and
• apply, based on the evaluating, at least one of the operations to the client device at a current location of the client device relative to at least one of a preceding location or a succeeding location of the client device.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processor of a device, cause the device to:

• determine, using first location data, that a client device is located in an interior of a premises in which multiple wireless network access points (APs) are deployed in a wireless network;
• identify, using second location data, a plurality of locations of the client device within the interior of the premises;
• obtain, for the plurality of locations, a dataset including wireless network signal strength values corresponding to signal coverage areas associated with the wireless network APs;
• generate, using the dataset, a wireless network mapping corresponding to a layout of the interior of the premises;
• determine that an accuracy level of the wireless network mapping meets a threshold level;
• provide, based on the determination regarding the accuracy level, the wireless network mapping to the client device;
• evaluate, against a first set of connectivity rules that override a second set of connectivity rules that are not based on the wireless network mapping, the wireless network mapping with respect to at least two of the signal coverage areas that overlap, wherein the first set of connectivity rules define a set of operations for connecting the client device to the wireless network as a function of the plurality of locations;
• and
• apply, based on the evaluating, at least one of the operations to the client device at a current location of the client device relative to at least one of a preceding location or a succeeding location of the client device.
