Abstract

A network device may predict the use of a mobile device and configure a network based on the prediction. The network device may provide instructions to display coverage indicators for the mobile device based on the predictions.

Claims (42)

1. A network device comprising:

a processor; and

a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having stored thereon executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:

accessing information associated with a mobile device, the information associated with the mobile device comprising a first data usage for a first data session associated with the mobile device;

predicting a second data usage for a second data session associated with the mobile device based on an analysis of the information associated with the mobile device; and

providing instructions to configure a network resource for the mobile device based on the predicted second data usage for the second data session associated with the mobile device.

2. The network device of claim 1 , wherein the first data usage for the first data session associated with the mobile device comprises at least one of:

a time of day a data session occurred, a type of a cloud service accessed, a duration of the data session, a volume of data accessed during the data session, or a provider of the cloud service.

3. The network device of claim 1 , wherein the information associated with the mobile device further comprises a user profile associated with the mobile device.

4. The network device of claim 3 , wherein the user profile associated with the mobile device comprises at least one of:

a user preference for data quality, a model number associated with the mobile device, a wireless technology format capability associated with the mobile device, applications associated with the mobile device, a user preference for quality of service of a cloud service, or demographics of the user of the mobile device.

5. The network device of claim 4 , wherein the demographics of the user of the mobile device comprises at least one of:

age, home ownership, employment status, gender, height, weight, birthday, college education status, or income.

6. The network device of claim 1 , wherein the information associated with the mobile device further comprises a rate plan associated with the mobile device.

7. The network device of claim 6 , wherein the rate plan associated with the mobile device comprises at least one of:

time based rate plan, bulk data usage based rate plan, or pay per use based rate plan.

8. The network device of claim 1 , wherein the first data session is a type of cloud service comprising at least one of:

an infrastructure as a service, platform as a service, software as a service, storage as a service, security as a service, data as a service, test environment as a service, desktop as a service, or application program interface as a service.

9. The network device of claim 1 , further comprising executable instructions that cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:

providing instructions to create an intelligent subscriber profile, wherein the intelligent subscriber profile comprises a record of the analysis that predicts the second data usage for the second data session associated with the mobile device.

10. The network device of claim 1 , further comprising executable instructions that cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:

providing instructions to display an advertisement based on the predicted second data usage for the second data session associated with the mobile device, wherein the advertisement is displayed upon wake-up of the mobile device after at least one of:

wireless inactivity of the mobile device, device inactivity of the mobile device, or during the second data session.

11. The network device of claim 10 , wherein the advertisement is a data usage plan that is subscribed to upon connecting to the second data session.

12. The network device of claim 10 , further comprising executable instructions that cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:

providing instructions to the mobile device to access an alternate network domain at a particular timeframe based on the predicted second data usage.

13. A method comprising:

accessing information associated with a mobile device, the information associated with the mobile device comprising a first data usage for a first data session associated with the mobile device;

predicting a second data usage for a second data session associated with the mobile device based on an analysis of the information associated with the mobile device; and

providing instructions to configure a network resource for the mobile device based on the predicted second data usage for the second data session associated with the mobile device.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the first data usage for the first data session associated with the mobile device comprises at least one of:

a time of day a data session occurred, a type of a cloud service accessed, a duration of the data session, a volume of data accessed during the data session, or a provider of the cloud service.

15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the information associated with the mobile device further comprises a user profile associated with the mobile device.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the user profile associated with the mobile device comprises at least one of:

a user preference for data quality, a model number associated with the mobile device, a wireless technology format capability associated with the mobile device, applications associated with the mobile device, a user preference for quality of service of a cloud service, or demographics of the user of the mobile device.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the demographics of the user of the mobile device comprises at least one of:

age, home ownership, employment status, gender, height, weight, birthday, college education status, or income.

18. The method of claim 13 , wherein the information associated with the mobile device further comprises a rate plan associated with the mobile device.

19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the rate plan associated with the mobile device comprises at least one of:

time based rate plan, bulk data usage based rate plan, or pay per use based rate plan.

20. The method of claim 13 , wherein the first data session is a type of cloud service comprising at least one of:

an infrastructure as a service, platform as a service, software as a service, storage as a service, security as a service, data as a service, test environment as a service, desktop as a service, or application program interface as a service.
