MOBILE DEVICE WHICH HANDS OVER CONNECTIVITY FROM ONE NETWORK CONNECTION TO ANOTHER NETWORK CONNECTION WITHOUT INTERRUPTION IN APPLICATION DATA FLOW AND METHODS THEREFOR
First Claim
1. A method of handover from one connection to a second connection at a mobile device which provides an application at the mobile device with continuous data flow, the method, comprising:
- receiving a first data set for an application from a first connection;
receiving a second data set for the application from a second connection;
providing the application with a continuous data flow using the first and second data sets.

Abstract
Mobile devices which hand over connectivity from one network connection to another network connection without interruption in application data flow and methods therefor are disclosed. One embodiment further includes, a system for managing handover from a first wireless connection to a second wireless connection for applications, the system including, a network interface operable to communicate with the first wireless network and the second wireless network, wherein the network interface is operable to receive first data from a first wireless network and receive second data for the application from a second wireless network and generate a continuous data flow for applications when handover from the first wireless network to the second wireless network occurs.
