Abstract
Systems and methods for selecting a wireless network are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method comprises receiving a first network device identifier for a first network device and a second network device identifier for a second network device, obtaining a first network profile comprising a first attribute, the first network profile based on the first network device identifier, obtaining a second network profile comprising a second attribute, the second network profile based on the second network device identifier, and selecting either the first network device identifier or the second network device identifier based on an attribute analysis of the first attribute and the second attribute.
Claims21
A method comprising:
- receiving a first network device identifier for a first network device and a second network device identifier for a second network device;
- obtaining a first network profile comprising a first attribute, the first network profile based on the first network device identifier;
- obtaining a second network profile comprising a second attribute, the second network profile based on the second network device identifier;
- and
- selecting either the first network device identifier or the second network device identifier based on an attribute analysis of the first attribute and the second attribute.
A system comprising:
- a digital device coupled to a communication network and configured to transmit a first network device identifier for a first network device and a second network device identifier for a second network device over the communication network;
- and
- a server coupled to the communication network and configured to receive the first network device identifier for a first network device and a second network device identifier for a second network device from the digital device, to obtain a first network profile comprising a first attribute, the first network profile based on the first network device identifier, to obtain a second network profile comprising a second attribute, the second network profile based on the second network device identifier, and to select either the first network device identifier or the second network device identifier based on an attribute analysis of the first attribute and the second attribute.
A computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions, the instructions comprising a method, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving a first network device identifier for a first network device and a second network device identifier for a second network device;
- obtaining a first network profile comprising a first attribute, the first network profile based on the first network device identifier;
- obtaining a second network profile comprising a second attribute, the second network profile based on the second network device identifier;
- and
- selecting either the first network device identifier or the second network device identifier based on an attribute analysis of the first attribute and the second attribute.
