First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, at a user device, a request to at least partially power down the user device;
providing data pertaining to a future destination of the user device to a server;
receiving network information for the future destination from the server;
storing the network information for the future destination in a local store of the user device;
performing at least a partial power-down the user device; and
when the user device is returned to a power-on state, searching for an available network using the network information in the local store of the user device, wherein searching for the available network excludes searching for a last registered network.
