Abstract
The disclosed embodiments provide a method and system for connecting a mobile device to multiple other devices, allowing an application to use a specific wireless channel from a list of more than one wireless channel, and performing methods where a mobile device connects simultaneously to multiple other devices. In some embodiments, a mobile device operates with multiple Wi-Fi (wireless communication) networking devices, IoT devices, or other Wi-Fi enabled devices, and has multiple hardware Wi-Fi channels available. Each channel can be assigned to an executable application on the mobile device.
Claims14
A mobile device comprising:
- at least one input device;
- a display;
- a first and a second wireless transceiver having a first wireless communication protocol;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing machine-readable instructions executable on the processor to cause the mobile device to:
- connect to a first network via a first wireless channel on the first wireless transceiver;
- simultaneously connect to a remote device via a second wireless channel on the second wireless transceiver;
- and
- transmit information regarding the first network to the remote device via the second wireless transceiver.
A method of controlling simultaneous connections on a mobile device comprising at least one input device, a display, a first and a second wireless transceiver having a first wireless communication protocol, a processor, and a memory storing machine-readable instruction executable on the processor, the method comprising:
- connecting the mobile device to a first network via a first wireless channel via the first wireless transceiver;
- simultaneously connecting the mobile device to a second network via a second wireless channel via the second wireless transceiver;
- assigning via the processor data communication from a first application running on the mobile device to the first network;
- and
- assigning via the processor data communication from a second application running on the mobile device to the second network.
A mobile device comprising:
- at least one input device;
- a display;
- a first and a second wireless transceiver having a first wireless communication protocol;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing machine-readable instructions executable on the processor to cause the mobile device to:
- connect to a first network via a first wireless channel on the first wireless transceiver;
- simultaneously connect to a remote device via a second wireless channel on the second wireless transceiver;
- and
- send control instructions to the remote device via the second wireless transceiver.
