Abstract

A system or method includes receiving wireless communication device usage trend data for a plurality of available wireless communication devices associated with a recipient and detecting, via an application processor executing instructions for a pan device communication optimization agent, a plurality communication paths with the plurality of wireless communication devices associated with the recipient. The system or method further includes determining an end-to-end quality score for a wireless communication device associated with the user and with available communication paths with the wireless communication devices associated with the recipient. In some aspects, the system and method include selecting at least one preferred communication path between the wireless communication device associated with the user and at least one wireless communication device associated with the recipient based on comparison of end-to-end scores.

Claims (39)

1. An information handling system comprising:

a wireless adapter to communicate with a wireless link;

a storage device to store wireless communication device usage trend data for a plurality of available wireless communication devices associated with a user; and

an application processor executing instructions for a pan device communication optimization agent to determine an end-to-end quality score for one or more available wireless communication devices associated with the user, wherein the end-to-end quality score is based on selection of a communication type, the wireless communication device usage trend data, wireless link quality for available communication paths with a wireless communication device associated with a recipient.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the application processor selects at least one preferred wireless communication device associated with the user for the selected communication type based on the end-to-end quality scores for that wireless communication device and wireless communication device usage trend data.

3. The system of claim 2 , further comprising:

the application processor initiates the selected communication type with a preferred communication device associated with the recipient.

4. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

the wireless adapter receives selection of a preferred wireless communication device associated with the recipient for the selected communication type; and

the application processor selecting at least one preferred communication path between at least one wireless communication device associated with the user and a preferred wireless communication device associated with the recipient.

5. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

the application processor initiates the selected communication type on a preferred communication path based on comparison of end-to-end quality scores.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the application processor further determines the end-to-end quality score based on device battery states for one or more available wireless communication devices.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the application processor further determines the end-to-end quality score based on a wireless communication device preference score derived from wireless communication device usage trend data.

8. A computer implemented method comprising:

receiving wireless communication device usage trend data for a plurality of available wireless communication devices associated with a recipient;

detecting, via an application processor executing instructions for a pan device communication optimization agent, a plurality communication paths with the plurality of wireless communication devices associated with the recipient;

determining an end-to-end quality score for a wireless communication device associated with the user, wherein the end-to-end quality score is based on selection of a communication type; and

selecting at least one preferred communication path between the wireless communication device associated with the user and at least one wireless communication device associated with the recipient based on comparison of end-to-end scores.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

initiating the selected communication type on the preferred communication path.

10. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

initiating the selected communication type with the at least one preferred communication device associated with the recipient.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the application processor further determines the end-to-end quality score based on wireless link quality for available communication paths with the wireless communication devices associated with the recipient.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the application processor further determines the end-to-end quality score based on a power weight score derived from device battery states for one or more available wireless communication devices.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the application processor further determines the end-to-end quality score based on wireless communication device usage trend data including frequency of use of available wireless communication devices associated with a recipient for the selected communication type.

14. An information handling system comprising:

a wireless adapter to communicate with a wireless link;

a storage device to store wireless communication device usage trend data for a plurality of available wireless communication devices associated with a user; and

an application processor executing instructions for a pan device communication optimization agent to select at least one preferred communication path between at least one wireless communication device from the plurality of available wireless communication devices associated with the user and at least one wireless communication device associated with the recipient based on comparison of end-to-end quality scores.

15. The system of claim 14 , further comprising:

a display device presenting an advisory graphical user interface presenting the end-to-end quality ratings further enabling a user to select at least one communication path between at least one wireless communication device associated with the user and at least one wireless communication device associated with the recipient.

16. The system of claim 14 , further comprising:

the application processor executing the pan device communication optimization agent to determine end-to-end quality score based on a selection of communication type.

17. The system of claim 14 , further comprising:

the application processor executing the pan device communication optimization agent to determine end-to-end quality score based on wireless communication device usage trend data for the plurality of available wireless communication devices associated with the user.

18. The system of claim 14 , wherein the application processor further determines the end-to-end quality score based on device battery states for one or more available wireless communication devices.

19. The system of claim 14 , wherein the application processor further determines the end-to-end quality score for communication paths based on a wireless communication device preference score derived from wireless communication device usage trend data including frequency of use of available wireless communication devices associated with a recipient for the selected communication type.

20. The system of claim 14 , wherein the application processor further determines the end-to-end quality score for communication paths based on service cost of the communication paths.
