Abstract

A method and process for establishing a mapped network of access points for a user of a wireless device is provided. A unique and customized network is selected from cellular connections, private wireless connections, public wireless connections, and wireless card connections such that a unique and personalized control of wireless connectivity may be established. Greater wireless resources are thus made available and provide for greater connectivity and improved battery life for a user's device.

Claims (22)

1. Providing a user device selected from a group consisting of a cellular telephone, a wireless handheld device, and a laptop computer;

establishing a database of geographic locations of said user device, said geographic location further including identifying available wireless resources available to said wireless device;

establishing a behavioral pattern of said user device based upon at least of one of a geographic location, a direction of travel, time of day, or bandwidth demand of said user device;

using said collected information to predict user device needs to provide a default wireless connection of said user device at a given geographical location to maximize wireless resources and minimize cost of use of said user device; and,

detecting transmitted data characteristics of said data being transmitted to or from said user device and altering said wireless connection resource based upon the characteristics of the data being transmitted.

2. Creating a database of wireless communication access points comprising the steps of:

detecting a known wireless device geographic location from at least one of a GPS detector, a public wi-fi connection, a cellular telephone connection, or a proprietary wi-fi connection;

recognizing a pattern of usage of said known wireless device based upon a repeated pattern observed in establishing said database;

selecting for said known wireless device while within a given geographic location the most cost effective wireless communication protocol; and,

monitoring said wireless communication content for at least one of bandwidth usage or proprietary transmission and seamlessly connecting said known wireless device to an alternative wireless connection mode in view of said transmission characteristics.

3. The process of creating said database according to claim 2 comprising the additional step of:

detecting movement of said known wireless device from one geographic location to another;

predicting, based upon said pattern of usage, a predicted path of said wireless device;

seamlessly transferring said wireless device from one connection source to a second connection source based upon an evaluation of first a geographic location of said wireless device and secondly an analysis of at least one of a bandwidth usage and a wireless content of information being transmitted or received by said known wireless device, said step further including selecting the most cost efficient communication protocol available for said known wireless device based on sent bandwidth usage and sent information content.

4. A process of selecting a wireless communication choice for a wireless device comprising the steps of:

identifying the wireless device;

establishing a geographic location for said wireless device;

detecting a desired access point for said wireless device at a given location;

connecting said wireless device to said access point;

monitoring a content of a wireless transmission between said access point and said wireless device and changing said access point based upon a content of said wireless transmission; and,

periodically monitoring conditions of a geographic location, available access points, and wireless transmission content between said access point and said wireless device to vary said selected access point to provide an optimal connection.

5. The process of according to claim 4 wherein said optimal connection is determined by an analysis of at least one of a transmission content between a wireless device and said access point and bandwidth usage of said transmission between said wireless device and said access point.
