Method and system for managing user preferences for one or more software applications runing on a mobile computing device

A computer-based method for managing user preferences for one or more software applications running on a mobile computing device, comprising the steps of:

• using the mobile computing device to receive data about each wireless device present in a given location, including those wireless devices that are available for connection in the given location;
• querying a first database to ascertain optimal user preferences for the one or more software applications running on the mobile computing device based on the wireless devices present in the given location or the wireless devices available for connection in the given location;
• and
• communicating instructions to one or more software applications for changing the user preferences associated with each software application to the optimal user preferences.

A computer-based method for managing user preferences for one or more software applications running on a remote device connected to a mobile computing device, comprising the steps of:

• using the mobile computing device to receive data about each wireless device present in a given location, including those wireless devices that are available for connection in the given location;
• querying a first database to ascertain optimal user preferences for the one or more software applications running on the remote device connected to the mobile computing device based on the wireless devices present in the given location or the wireless devices available for connection in the given location;
• and
• communicating instructions to one or more software applications running on the remote device connected to the mobile computing device for changing the user preferences associated with each software application to the optimal user preferences.

A computer-based system for managing user preferences for one or more software applications running on a mobile computing device, comprising:

• a location determination module resident on a computer-readable medium of the mobile computing device for receiving data concerning a location of the mobile computing device;
• a radio management module resident on the computer-readable medium of the mobile computing device for receiving data about each wireless device present and/or available for connection in the location;
• an analysis module resident on the computer-readable medium of the mobile computing device for querying a first database to ascertain optimal user preferences for the one or more software applications running on the mobile computing device based on the location of the mobile computing device and the wireless devices present and/or available for connection in the location;
• and
• an application interface for communicating instructions to the one or more software applications for changing the user preferences associated with each software application to the optimal user preferences.
