Mobile device controller for network performance data evaluation
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11917408B2) outlines a system involving a controller connected to multiple mobile devices through various networks. The controller receives network performance data and location information from each mobile device, evaluates this data based on predefined rules, and generates operating parameters for each device. These parameters are then transmitted back to the mobile devices, allowing for monitoring of network usage and cost prediction. The system also includes features such as tracking usage time per network, setting usage limits, and automatically disabling network interfaces to prevent exceeding these limits.
Furthermore, the patent describes a method for remotely controlling multiple mobile devices through a network environment, where data on network performance and location is collected, analyzed, and used to create operating parameters for each device. The method includes monitoring productivity, creating geographical maps, and providing signal strength information. Additional features involve tracking usage time, setting limits, and projecting when these limits will be exceeded. The system also allows for automatic notifications to users regarding potential overages and includes mechanisms for adapting to changes in network availability and performance. Overall, the patent presents a comprehensive system for managing and optimizing network usage across multiple mobile devices in a remote environment.
