First Claim
Patent Images
1. A multi-technology handset comprising:
- a controller configured to establish a communicative coupling to a CDMA network using a CDMA radio and a second technology network using a second technology radio in response to the execution of an application on the handset;
a memory module containing data associated with the application; and
an application logic module configured to determine a ranking for the application using the data, to send an instruction to the controller to complete the communicative coupling to the CDMA network or the second technology network based on the ranking, and to perform an update on the data based upon the running of the application.
