Communication environment switchover
First Claim
1. A method for providing communication environment switchover, the method comprising:
- determining a received signal strength level corresponding to a signal sent from a first device and received at a second device, the received signal strength level being measured at the second device, the first device comprising a dual mode handset (DMH) and the second device comprising a wireless access point; and
causing the first device to be re-provisioned, wherein causing the first device to be re- provisioned comprises,causing the first device to be re-provisioned to communicate in a second environment;
if the first device is provisioned to communicate in a first environment, andif the received signal strength level is greater than a first threshold value;
causing 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, andif the received signal strength level is less than a second threshold value;
orcausing the first device to be re-provisioned when the second threshold value is less than the first threshold value.

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.

14. A system for providing communication environment switchover, the system comprising:
-
a memory storage; and a processing unit coupled to the memory storage, wherein the processing unit performs the following; determines a received signal strength level corresponding to a signal sent from a first device and received at a second device, the received signal strength level being measured at the second device; and causes the first device to be re-provisioned, wherein to cause the first device to be re-provisioned comprises, the processing unit causes the first device to 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, and the processing unit causes 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 wherein the second threshold value is less than the first threshold value. - View Dependent Claims (15)
