Abstract
Certain embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to methods, devices, systems, mobile devices, applications, and servers that measure or utilize measurements for quality of service of wireless communication networks by measuring a variety of real-world data transfer speeds. Certain embodiments of the present disclosure include a data-use-measuring application that can carry out data transfer rate measurements without impacting (or minimally impacting) a consumer's data usage.
Claims24
A system for identifying data speeds of a wireless communications network as observed by mobile devices provisioned for typical use on the wireless communications networks, the system comprising:
- a server configured to:
- receive location information of a mobile device,
- receive data transfer speed information associated with a plurality of applications of the mobile device, and
- in response to receiving the location and data transfer speed information, determine a type of data activity that can be serviced at the location.
A method comprising:
- receiving data from a plurality of applications operating in the foreground of a mobile device provisioned for typical use on a wireless communications network;
- and
- monitoring, by a second application on the mobile device that is separate from the plurality of applications and running in the background of the mobile device, a data usage rate of the plurality of applications.
A mobile device comprising:
- a plurality of data-use applications that receive data at a data transfer speed;
- and
- a data-use-measuring application, wherein the data-use-measuring application is configured to measure data transfer speeds of the plurality of data-use applications without initiating a transfer of data to the mobile device.
A system comprising:
- a mobile device including a plurality of applications and a data-use-measuring application, wherein the data-use-measuring application is configured to measure data transfer speeds of the plurality of data-use applications without initiating a transfer of data to the mobile device;
- and
- a server configured to receive the data transfer speeds measured by the data-use-measuring application.
