Abstract
In one embodiment, a method of allowing a user to roam from one wireless network and interact with an Internet-based application is disclosed. The method comprises establishing a connection between a wireless mobile device and a first wireless network, wherein the connection allows the wireless mobile device to interact with an Internet-based application; tracking a state of interaction between the wireless mobile device and the Internet-based application; terminating the connection between the wireless mobile device and the first wireless network; establishing a connection between the wireless mobile device and a second wireless network; and sending, to the Internet-based application, data representing a state of interaction of the wireless mobile device with the Internet-based application prior to terminating the connection between the wireless mobile device and the first wireless network.

20. A method of allowing a user to roam from one wireless network to another, the method comprising:
-
establishing a first connection between a wireless mobile device and a first wireless network, the first connection allowing the wireless mobile device to interact with an Internet-based application;
tracking a state of interaction between the wireless mobile device and the Internet-based application;
terminating the connection between the wireless mobile device and the first wireless network;
establishing a second connection between the wireless mobile device and a second wireless network; and
sending, to the Internet-based application, data representing a state of interaction of the wireless mobile device with the Internet-based application prior to terminating the connection between the wireless mobile device and the first wireless network. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. A method of allowing a user to roam from one wireless network to another, the method comprising:
-
establishing a connection to a first wireless network with a mobile device;
using the mobile device to interact with an Internet-based application through the first wireless network;
tracking data related to a state of interaction with the Internet-based application;
establishing a connection to a second wireless network with the mobile device; and
sending data related to the state of interaction with the Internet-based application to the Internet-based application. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30)

31. A method of allowing a user to roam from one wireless network to another, the method comprising:
-
establishing a connection between a first wireless mobile device and a first wireless network, wherein the connection allows the first wireless mobile device to interact with an Internet-based application;
tracking a state of interaction between the first wireless mobile device and the Internet-based application;
terminating the connection between the first wireless mobile device and the first wireless network;
establishing a connection between a second wireless mobile device, different from the first wireless mobile device, and a second wireless network; and
sending, to the Internet-based application, data representing a state of interaction of the first wireless mobile device with the Internet-based application prior to terminating the connection between the first wireless mobile device and the first wireless network. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33)

34. A system for facilitating roaming from one network to another, the system comprising:
-
an authentication component configured to authenticate wireless mobile devices for use on a plurality of wireless networks; and
a synchronization manager component configured to track a state of interaction between a wireless mobile device and an Internet-based application through a first wireless network, and in response to receiving an appropriate request, establish a session between the wireless mobile device and the Internet-based application through a second wireless network and send data representing the state of interaction to the Internet-based application. - View Dependent Claims (35, 36)
