System and method for establishing and maintaining a connection between devices
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- one or more hardware processors; and
a storage device storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more hardware processors, cause the one or more hardware processors to perform operations comprising;
causing a first connection over a data network to be established between a first mobile communication device and a second mobile communication device during a session, the data network excluding a mobile network, the causing the first connection comprising;
accessing transfer rates of a plurality of data network terminals, andselecting a data network terminal from the plurality of data network terminals having a highest capacity based on the transfer rates, the first connection being established using the selected data network terminal;
causing, during the session, a second connection over the mobile network to be established between the first mobile communication device and the second mobile communication device; and
dividing transmission of information during the session, the dividing comprising transmitting high capacity data via the first connection between the first mobile communication device and the second mobile communication device over the data network and transmitting low capacity data via the second connection between the first mobile communication device and the second mobile communication device over the mobile network.

Abstract
A system and method to establish and maintain a connection between devices, which in one example embodiment of a method, may comprise receiving a request to establish a connection between a first communication device and a second communication device. A determination is made as to whether the second communication device is reachable via a data network. Based on the determination that the second communication device is reachable over the data network, a connection between the first communication device and the second communication device is established via the data network. Based on the determination that the second communication device is not reachable over the data network, a connection between the first communication device and the second communication device is established via a telecommunications network. Additional systems and methods are described.
