First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of determining a Quality-of-Service (QoS) level for members of a group comprising:
- establishing a profile for a group, the group comprising at least one member;
determining a usage pattern for the at least one member of the group;
determining and associating a Quality-of-Service (QoS) level to the group based upon the usage pattern of the at least one member of the group; and
dynamically modifying the QoS level based upon changes in the usage pattern of the at least one member of the group.

Abstract
A usage pattern is determined for at least one member (102 or 104) of a group. A Quality-of-Service (QoS) level (114) is determined for the group and is based upon the usage pattern of the at least one member (102 or 104) of the group. The QoS level (114) is dynamically modified based upon changes in the usage pattern of the at least one member of the group (102 or 104).

14. A device for determining the Quality-of-Service (QoS) for members of a group comprising:
-
a memory having a profile for a group stored therein, the group comprising at least one member;
a receiver having an input; and
a controller coupled to the memory and the receiver, the controller receiving a usage pattern for the at least one member of the group at the input of the receiver, the controller being programmed to determine and associate a QoS level to the profile of the group based upon the usage pattern, the controller being further programmed to store the QoS level in the memory, the controller being further programmed to dynamically modify the QoS level based upon changes in the usage pattern of the at least one member of the group. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)
