Abstract
An improved connectivity to radio access point is enabled by a server that includes a database storing data about various radio access points, and an evaluation module evaluating the quality of connection to each of the access points. Clients receive updates about relevant access points from the server and use the information to connect to the preferred access point. The clients also check connectivity to other access points in the vicinity, and report the findings to the server. The server uses the reports to update its database, and send corresponding updates to the clients.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- receiving, from a set of mobile devices, data associated with a set of network access points, including data indicative of quality of connection, experienced by the set of mobile devices, associated with the set of network access points;
- and
- displaying a map comprising a set of network access point indicators, wherein each of the network access point indicators is displayed at a location on the map relative to a location associated with at least some other network access point indicators, and wherein each of the network access point indicators reflects an indication of the quality of connection associated with a corresponding one of the set of network access points.
A system configured to:
- receive, from a set of mobile devices, data associated with a set of network access points, including data indicative of quality of connection, experienced by the set of mobile devices, associated with the set of network access points;
- and
- display a map comprising a set of network access point indicators, wherein each of the network access point indicators is displayed at a location on the map relative to a location associated with at least some other network access point indicators, and wherein each of the network access point indicators reflects an indication of the quality of connection associated with a corresponding one of the set of network access points.
