Abstract
The invention relates to a system and method for initiating a command relating to one network that an electronic communication device may be in communication with, depending on triggering conditions relating to another network that the device may be in communication with. In the method, the device initiates a command relating to a network for a communication device only after satisfaction of a predetermined condition relating to another network. The network may be a 802.11a network; the another network may be a non-802.11a network; the predetermined condition may be detection of a connection to the non-802.11a network; and the command may be to initiate monitoring for a connection to the 802.11a network.
Claims18
A method for initiating a command relating to a network for a communication device, comprising:
- initiating a command relating to said network after satisfaction of a predetermined condition relating to another network.
A system for initiating a command relating to a network for a communication device, comprising:
- a monitoring process for monitoring for connection signals from a plurality of networks for said device;
- an evaluation process to evaluate said connection signals and determine whether a trigger condition for a command relating to a network of said plurality of networks has been satisfied;
- and
- a command process to initiate said command for said network,
- wherein said evaluation process causes said command process to initiate said command for said network upon detecting satisfaction of said predetermined condition from connection signals from said monitoring process.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
