Abstract
Systems, methods, and media for radio management based on user intervention. In an embodiment, at least one user intervention is detected in the automated radio management of a radio system. In response, the automated radio management is restricted for at least a predetermined time period by one or both of turning off the automated radio management of the radio system, and adding an access point, to which the radio system was connected at a time of the at least one user intervention, to a blacklist. After the predetermined time period has expired, the restriction to the automated radio management is reversed.
Claims17
A method for a mobile device comprising a first radio system and a second radio system and capable of performing radio management of at least the second radio system, the method comprising using at least one hardware processor to:
- detect at least one user intervention in the automated radio management of the second radio system;
- in response to the detection of the at least one user intervention, automatically restrict the automated radio management of the second radio system for at least a predetermined time period, by one or both of turning off the automated radio management of the second radio system, and adding an access point, to which the second radio system was connected at a time of the at least one user intervention, to a blacklist;
- and,
- after the predetermined time period has expired, automatically reverse the restriction to the automated radio management of the second radio system;
- wherein detecting the at least one user intervention comprises
- detecting at least one disconnection from the access point, and,
- in response to the detection of each disconnection from the access point, automatically, determining whether or not the access point has been forgotten by an operating system of the mobile device, and, when the access point is determined to have been forgotten by the operating system of the mobile device, determining that a user intervention has occurred.
A method for a mobile device comprising a first radio system and a second radio system and capable of performing radio management of at least the second radio system, the method comprising using at least one hardware processor to:
- detect at least one user intervention in the automated radio management of the second radio system;
- in response to the detection of the at least one user intervention, automatically restrict the automated radio management of the second radio system for at least a predetermined time period, by one or both of turning off the automated radio management of the second radio system, and adding an access point, to which the second radio system was connected at a time of the at least one user intervention, to a blacklist;
- and,
- after the predetermined time period has expired, automatically reverse the restriction to the automated radio management of the second radio system;
- wherein restricting the automated radio management comprises adding one or both of a service set identifier (SSID) and basic SSID (BSSID) of the access point to the blacklist;
- and
- wherein restricting the automated radio management for at least a predetermined time period comprises including the BSSID in the blacklist for a first predetermined time period and including the SSID in the blacklist for a second predetermined time period that is different than the first predetermined time period.
A mobile device comprising:
- a first radio system;
- a second radio system;
- at least one hardware processor;
- and
- one or more software modules configured to, when executed by the at least one hardware processor,
- perform automated radio management of the second radio system,
- detect at least one user intervention in the automated radio management of the second radio system,
- in response to the detection of the at least one user intervention, automatically restrict the automated radio management of the second radio system for at least a predetermined time period, by one or both of turning off the automated radio management of the second radio system, and adding an access point, to which the second radio system was connected at a time of the at least one user intervention, to a blacklist, and,
- after the predetermined time period has expired, automatically reverse the restriction to the automated radio management of the second radio system;
- wherein detecting the at least one user intervention comprises
- detecting at least one disconnection from the access point, and,
- in response to the detection of each disconnection from the access point, automatically, determining whether or not the access point has been forgotten by an operating system of the mobile device, and, when the access point is determined to have been forgotten by the operating system of the mobile device, determining that a user intervention has occurred.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored therein, wherein the instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- perform automated radio management of a radio system;
- detect at least one user intervention in the automated radio management of the radio system;
- in response to the detection of the at least one user intervention, automatically restrict the automated radio management of the radio system for at least a predetermined time period, by one or both of turning off the automated radio management of the radio system, and adding an access point, to which the radio system was connected at a time of the at least one user intervention, to a blacklist;
- and,
- after the predetermined time period has expired, automatically reverse the restriction to the automated radio management of the radio system;
- wherein detecting the at least one user intervention comprises
- detecting at least one disconnection from the access point, and,
- in response to the detection of each disconnection from the access point, automatically, determining whether or not the access point has been forgotten by an operating system of the mobile device, and, when the access point is determined to have been forgotten by the operating system of the mobile device, determining that a user intervention has occurred.
