Management of wireless interface power state in a device
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230284147A1) describes a method and device for switching between cellular and wireless network interfaces based on the capabilities of an application being used on a device. The method involves determining if the application is capable of switching from the cellular network interface to the wireless interface without disruption. If it is determined that the application can switch without disruption, the device will switch from using the cellular network interface to the wireless interface. This switch is accompanied by a change in the power state of the wireless interface, transitioning from a low power state to a higher power state based on the availability of a wireless network.
The patent also includes additional criteria for determining if the application can switch interfaces. One criterion is whether the application belongs to a set of registered authorized applications that are allowed to switch from the cellular network interface to the wireless interface. Conversely, if the application does not belong to a set of registered unauthorized applications, it cannot switch interfaces.
Furthermore, the patent describes that the power state of the wireless interface can also be influenced by the state of the device's screen. If the screen is switched to an active state, the power state of the wireless interface will be switched from the low power state to the higher power state. Additionally, the device's location can also impact the power state of the wireless interface. If the device is located in an area where it previously connected to a wireless network, the power state of the wireless interface will be switched to the higher power state.
The device described in the patent includes a cellular network interface, a wireless interface, and a processor. The processor is responsible for determining if the application being used on the device can switch interfaces and initiating the switch from the cellular network interface to the wireless interface. The power state of the wireless interface is adjusted based on the availability of a wireless network and the determination of whether the application can switch interfaces without disruption.
Overall, this patent presents a method and device that allows for seamless switching between cellular and wireless network interfaces based on the capabilities of the application being used on a device. This technology has the potential to improve the efficiency and performance of devices by utilizing the most appropriate network interface for a given application.
