Performance Mapping
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions thereon for a method of mapping performance data of wireless systems, the method comprising:
- at a controller, receiving from an access point via a network actual performance information of a user device at a particular time;
receiving an identifier of the access point;
receiving location information of the user device via the network;
causing storage of the received actual performance information, the identifier of the access point, and the received location information in a data storage;
using the received actual performance information, the received location information, and the particular time to map the received actual performance information on a map of an area around the mobile device;
converting the mapped actual performance information into a visual reference gradient for display on the user device.

Abstract
Methods and computer-executable instructions for mapping performance data of wireless systems include receiving from an access point actual performance information, such as throughput, of a user device at a particular time, along with an identifier of the access point, and location information of the user device. Then, using the received actual performance information, the received location information, and the particular time to map the received actual performance information on a map of an area around the mobile device. In certain embodiments, converting the mapped actual performance information into a visual reference gradient for display on the user device.
