Abstract
Systems may provide feedback that may include antenna selection or mobile device configuration. Antennas may be automatically configured throughout the device or the orientation or location of the mobile device may be altered to increase performance. Historical performance information of the mobile device may be maintained in order to determine proactive manipulations of the mobile device. In addition, multiple mobile devices may cooperatively determine the orientation or location that may increase performance.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- memory coupled with the processor, the memory storing executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
- obtaining information associated with a first mobile device, wherein the information associated with the first mobile device comprises:
- current signaling information associated with first device or orientation information of the first mobile device;
- based on the information, determining a configuration of the first mobile device in order to reach threshold performance;
- and
- sending an alert about the determined configuration,
- wherein the alert comprises a message on a graphical user interface, a sound, or haptic feedback, and
- wherein the alert provides a notification of a recommended change to the first mobile device or triggers the first mobile device to perform the recommended change.
A system comprising:
- a base station;
- and
- a mobile device communicatively connected with the base station, the mobile device comprising
- a processor;
- and
- memory coupled with the processor, the memory storing executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
- obtaining information associated with the mobile device, wherein the information associated with the mobile device comprises:
- current signaling information associated with first device or orientation information of the mobile device;
- based on the information, determining a configuration of the mobile device in order to reach threshold performance;
- and
- sending an alert about the determined configuration,
- wherein the alert comprises a message on a graphical user interface, a sound, or haptic feedback, and
- wherein the alert provides a notification of a recommended change to a first mobile device or triggers the first mobile device to perform the recommended change.
A computer readable storage medium storing computer executable instructions that when executed by a computing device cause said computing device to effectuate operations comprising:
- obtaining information associated with a mobile device, wherein the information associated with the mobile device comprises:
- current signaling information associated with first device or orientation information of the mobile device;
- based on the information, determining a configuration of the mobile device in order to reach threshold performance;
- and
- sending an alert about the determined configuration,
- wherein the alert provides a notification of a recommended change to a first mobile device or triggers the first mobile device to perform the recommended change.
