  • Patent number: 10015071
    Abstract: A method that includes determining, at a mobile device, that a count of encounters by the mobile device with an access point fails to satisfy a threshold. The access point is associated with a first network. The method also includes establishing a connection with a second network in response to determining the count fails to satisfy the threshold. The access point is unassociated with the second network.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9591559
    Abstract: A method that includes receiving, at a mobile device, information identifying an access point. The method further includes determining, at the mobile device, whether a count of encounters by the mobile device with the access point in response to the count satisfying the threshold with the access point satisfies a threshold. The method further includes displaying, at the mobile device, an indicator associated with the access point in response to the count satisfying the threshold.

  • Patent number: 9167509
    Abstract: In one or more embodiments, one or more methods and/or systems described can determine whether a first encounter of a mobile device with a wireless access point is concluded. The determination may include determining whether a first period of time has expired, the mobile device continuously receiving a signal from the wireless access point during the first period of time, and determining whether a second period of time following the first period of time has expired. The methods and/or systems may increment a count of encounters with the wireless access point in response to determining that the second encounter with the wireless access point is concluded.

  • Patent number: 8467361
    Abstract: In one or more embodiments, one or more methods and/or systems described can perform determining identification information associated with the first wireless access point from at least a first signal; determining that a first instance of encountering the first wireless access point has concluded; storing information associated with the first instance of encountering the first wireless access point; determining the identification information associated with the first wireless access point from at least a second signal; determining that a second instance of encountering the first wireless access point has concluded; storing information associated with the second instance of encountering the first wireless access point; determining that the first wireless access point has been encountered at least a number of times; and displaying, in a menu usable by a user, at least a portion of the identification information associated with the first wireless access point.
