Abstract
Performing at least one of transmitting a request for an update responsive to at least one of at least two applications executing on a network device via at least one available network connection, wherein the network device utilizes at least two network adapters and the first network adapter is configured for transmitting the request for the update, via a first network connection, and the second network adapter is configured for transmitting a confirmation request requesting the update, via a second network connection, wherein the second network connection is a faster data connection than the first network connection, and downloading the update for the at least two applications via the second network connection.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- transmitting a request for an update responsive to at least one of at least two applications executing on a network device;
- wherein the network device utilizes at least two network adapters and the first network adapter is configured for transmitting the request for the update, via a first network connection, and the second network adapter is configured for transmitting a confirmation request requesting the update, via a second network connection;
- and
- downloading the update for the at least two applications via the second network connection when the second network connection has a weaker signal strength than the first network connection.
A device, comprising:
- a processor;
- a transmitter configured to transmit a request for an update responsive to at least one of at least two applications executing on a network device;
- and
- a receiver;
- wherein the network device utilizes at least two network adapters and the first network adapter is configured to transmit the request for the update, via a first network connection, and the second network adapter is configured to transmit a confirmation request requesting the update, via a second network connection;
- wherein the receiver is configured to download the update for the at least two applications via the second network connection when the second network connection has a weaker signal strength than the first network connection.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions that when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform:
- transmitting a request for an update responsive to at least one of at least two applications executing on a network device;
- wherein the network device utilizes at least two network adapters and the first network adapter is configured for transmitting the request for the update, via a first network connection, and the second network adapter is configured for transmitting a confirmation request requesting the update, via a second network connection;
- and
- downloading the update for the at least two applications via the second network connection when the second network connection has a weaker signal strength than the first network connection.
