DEVICE, METHOD AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR CONNECTING A MOBILE DEVICE TO A WIRELESS NETWORK
First Claim
1. A mobile device wirelessly connectable to a communications network, comprising:
- a signal transceiver configured to receive positioning information relating to the position of the mobile device;
a memory for storing a plurality of position data and profiles related to the position data, which profiles comprise parameters usable for connecting to communications networks; and
a control unit configured to compare a current position for the mobile device with stored position data, and to select one of the plurality of profiles to connect to said network if the current position matches stored position data.

Abstract
A solution for a mobile communications device, for controlling connection to a communications network. The invention involves positioning of the mobile device based on received positioning information signals, and comparison of a determined current position for the device with stored position data. If the determined position matches stored position data, a profile related to that position data is selected. The profile comprises settings usable for connection to a communications network. The determined position identifies the profile to use, and when an application involving connection to a network is initiated by a user, the appropriate client and related settings are automatically used.
