Mobile device and method for intelligently communicating data generated thereby over short-range, unlicensed wireless networks and wide area wireless networks
First Claim
1. A method for communicating data generated by a mobile device, the mobile device being provisionable for service on a wireless wide area network operated by a licensed network operator and being further operable on at least one shorter-range, unlicensed wireless network, the method comprising:
- storing a plurality of applications, each of the plurality of applications generating data when executed and at least one of the plurality of applications generating at least some data for communication over the wireless wide area network;
executing at least one of the plurality of applications to produce an executed application;
classifying data generated by the executed application into one of at least two categories based upon a domain of a target network to which the data is to be sent, the at least two categories including a first category relating to data requiring communication at least partially over the wireless wide area network and a second category relating to data not requiring communication over the wireless wide area network; and
establishing communication with a target device in the target network over at least a shorter-range, unlicensed wireless network based upon classification of the data generated by the executed application.

Abstract
A mobile device is provisionable for service on a wireless wide area network (WWAN) operated by a licensed network operator and is further operable on at least one shorter-range, unlicensed wireless network (UWN). The mobile device stores applications that generate data when executed, including at least one application that generates data for communication over the WWAN. The mobile device executes a stored application and classifies data generated by the executed application into one of at least two categories based upon a domain of a target network to which the data is to be sent. A first category relates to data requiring communication at least partially over the WWAN and a second category relates to data not requiring communication over the WWAN. The mobile device establishes communication with a target device in the target network over at least the UWN based upon classification of the data generated by the executed application.
