Abstract: Methods and systems recommending handovers between access points. Handover data is collected at a central computer from a plurality of communication devices within a defined geographic area, wherein the handover data pertains to handovers between a plurality of access points as the plurality of communication devices roam within the defined geographic area. Patterns of handovers are determined at the central computer system between the plurality of access points for the plurality of communications devices. A roaming pattern is predicted, at the central computer system, for a first communication device currently connected to a first access point based on the determined patterns of handovers. A second access point within the defined geographic area is determined to be a candidate for the first communication device to handover to based, on the predicted roaming pattern of the first communication device.

Abstract: Methods and system for generating performance information are disclosed. A communication is received from a first device in an environment at a computer system wherein the communication comprises communication data and secondary data. The communication is relayed from the computer system to a second device based on the computer system interpreting the communication data and secondary data. Device performance data is collected regarding the first device based on the computer system interpreting the communication data and secondary data. Analytics are applied to the device performance data to generate summary performance indicators and metrics at the computer system. The summary performance indicators and metrics are made available.
