COMMUNICATION ENVIRONMENT SWITCHOVER
First Claim
1. A device, comprising:
- a memory that retains program modules; and
a processing unit that executes one or more of the program modules to perform the following;
determine a signal strength level of a transmitted signal based on one or more queries of a measured strength level at a wireless access point; and
cause switchover of the device amongst a first communication environment and a second communication environment.

Abstract
Communication environment switchover may be provided. A received signal strength level may be determined corresponding to a signal sent from a first device and received at a second device. The received signal strength level may be measured at the second device. In addition, the first device may be re-provisioned. For example, the first device may be re-provisioned to communicate in a second environment if the first device is provisioned to communicate in a first environment and if the received signal strength level is greater than a first threshold value. Furthermore, the first device to be re-provisioned to communicate in the first environment if the first device is provisioned to communicate in the second environment and if the received signal strength level is less than a second threshold value. The second threshold value may be less than the first threshold value.

11. A method, comprising:
employing at least a computer processor to execute code instructions retained in a computer-readable medium, the executed code instructions implement the following acts; determining a strength level of signal that is transmitted by a device by frequently querying a wireless access point to obtain information on a measurement of strength of the transmitted signal that is received at the wireless access point; and triggering switchover of the device amongst a first environment and a second environment based in part on at least one of the strength level and provisioning of the device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A system, comprising:
-
means for determining a strength level of a signal that is transmitted by a first device and received by a second device, the first device comprising a dual mode handset (DMH) and the second device comprising a wireless access point; and means for triggering in-call handover of the first device amongst a first environment and a second environment based in part on at least one of the strength level and provisioning of the first device. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
