Abstract
The invention proposes a scan control device, wherein in the scan operation a network detection is performed, the device comprising a request receiving means for receiving at least one request for providing scan information, and a scan control means for performing a scan operation independently from receiving the scan information requests. The invention also proposes a corresponding method and a computer program product.
Claims29
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- an antenna;
- a wireless transceiver;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- receive at least one request to provide information based on a wireless scan, and
- process at least a first scan interval and at least a second scan interval wherein the at least a first scan interval is associated with at least a first application on the apparatus and wherein the at least a second scan interval is associated with at least a second application on the apparatus,
- wherein a time for performing at least one scan operation is based at least on the at least a first scan interval and the at least a second scan interval;
- perform the at least one scan operation based on the time for performing at least one scan operation,
- wherein the at least one scan operation comprises a wireless network detection;
- and
- control, in a centralized manner, the performing of the at least one scan operation independently from the receiving at least one request to provide information based on a wireless scan.

A method, comprising:
- receiving, in a wireless apparatus, at least one request to provide information based on a wireless scan;
- processing at least a first scan interval and at least a second scan interval wherein the at least a first scan interval is associated with at least a first application on the wireless apparatus and wherein the at least a second scan interval is associated with at least a second application on the wireless apparatus,
- wherein a time for performing at least one scan operation is based at least on the at least a first scan interval and the at least a second scan interval;
- performing the at least one scan operation based on the time for performing at least one scan operation,
- wherein the at least one scan operation comprises a wireless network detection;
- and
- controlling, in a centralized manner, the performing of the at least one scan operation independently from the receiving at least one request to provide information based on a wireless scan.
4 more elements
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising program instructions for causing a wireless apparatus to perform at least the following:
- receiving, in the wireless apparatus, at least one request to provide information based on a wireless scan;
- processing, in the wireless apparatus, at least a first scan interval and at least a second scan interval wherein the at least a first scan interval is associated with at least a first application on the wireless apparatus and wherein the at least a second scan interval is associated with at least a second application on the wireless apparatus,
- wherein a time for performing at least one scan operation is based at least on the at least a first scan interval and the at least a second scan interval;
- performing the at least one scan operation based on the time for performing at least one scan operation,
- wherein the at least one scan operation comprises a wireless network detection;
- and
- controlling, in a centralized manner, the performing of the at least one scan operation independently from but based on the receiving at least one request to provide information based on a wireless scan.
