Automatic QoS determination with I/O activity logic

A method of managing quality of service attributes of a communication system, comprising:

• identifying a handheld device and a data network with which the handheld device is to communicate;
• monitoring a level of input/output activity associated with the handheld device within a predetermined time period indicating whether a user is holding the user device;
• determining whether the user is holding the handheld device based upon the monitoring;
• and
• assigning a priority level for communication between the handheld device and the data network based upon the determining, wherein the priority level is a first priority level for communication between the handheld device and the data network in response to determining that the user is holding the handheld device, and the priority level is a second priority level that is lower than the first priority level for communication between the handheld device and the data network in response to determining that the user is not holding the handheld device.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising computer executable instructions that, in response to execution by a computing system, cause the computing system to perform operations, comprising:

• determining whether a user is actively interacting with a user device based upon one or more inputs from the user to the user device within a predetermined time period indicating that the user is holding the user device;
• and
• assigning a first priority level for communication between the user device and an associated data network in response to determining that the user is actively interacting with the user device;
• and
• assigning a second priority level that is lower than the first priority level for communication between the user device and the associated data network in response to determining that the user is not actively interacting with the user device.
