Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for presenting coverage bars on a mobile device based on available telecommunications signals. In particular, a mobile device is associated with a plurality of telecommunications signals. Further, the telecommunications signals associated with the mobile device are assessed based on signal strength. A determination is made as to the relative strength of one telecommunications technology over another. Additionally, identifiers of the telecommunications signals are presented on a screen of the mobile device.
Claims15
Computer-readable media (“media”) having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed, facilitate a method of presenting indicators on a screen of a mobile device based on a plurality of telecommunications signals, the method comprising:
- assessing signal strength of a plurality of telecommunications signals associated with the mobile device;
- displaying an identifier on the screen of the mobile device for each of the plurality of telecommunications signals based on assessing signal strength of the plurality of telecommunications signals;
- identifying a primary form of communication, wherein the primary form of communication is e-mail;
- determining a telecommunications signal of the plurality of telecommunications signals that is most suited to the primary form of communication;
- and
- displaying an auxiliary identifier associated with the telecommunications signal of the plurality of telecommunications signals that is most suited to the primary form of communication.
Computer-readable media (“media”) having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed, facilitate a method of presenting indicators on a screen of a mobile device based on a plurality of telecommunications signals, the method comprising:
- assessing signal strength of a plurality of telecommunications signals associated with the mobile device;
- displaying an identifier on the screen of the mobile device for each of the plurality of telecommunications signals based on assessing signal strength of the plurality of telecommunications signals;
- identifying a primary form of communication, wherein the primary form of communication is texting;
- determining a telecommunications signal of the plurality of telecommunications signals that is most suited to the primary form of communication;
- and
- displaying an auxiliary identifier associated with the telecommunications signal of the plurality of telecommunications signals that is most suited to the primary form of communication.
Computer-readable media (“media”) having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed, facilitate a method of presenting indicators on a screen of a mobile device based on a plurality of telecommunications signals, the method comprising:
- identifying a plurality of telecommunications signals associated with the mobile device
- assessing signal strength of the plurality of telecommunications signals associated with the mobile device;
- displaying an identifier on the screen of the mobile device for each of the plurality of telecommunications signals based on assessing signal strength of the plurality of telecommunications signals;
- identifying a primary form of communication associated with the mobile device, wherein the primary form of communication is texting or email;
- determining a subset plurality of telecommunications signals of the plurality of telecommunications signals that meet a threshold compatibility with the primary form of communication;
- and
- displaying an auxiliary identifier associated with each telecommunications signal of the subset plurality of telecommunications signals that meets the threshold compatibility with the primary form of communication.
