Mobile device with a mobility analyzer and associated methods
First Claim
1. A method for operating a wireless mobile device moving through different types of networks, each network comprising at least one access node, the method comprising:
- storing within the wireless mobile device a type of network associated with a respective access node as the wireless mobile device moves through the different types of networks, with each type of network having access node mobility attributes associated therewith;
storing within the wireless mobile device a type of connectivity available for each access node;
storing within the wireless mobile device location of each access node;
operating the wireless mobile device with a current access node corresponding to one type of network based on a current location of the wireless mobile device;
creating a connection activity report of services requested by the user moving through the different types of networks, including location of where the services were requested, and with the services including downloading of predetermined information from the Internet;
initiating handoff by the wireless mobile device from the current access node to another access node corresponding to a different type of network based on the current location of the wireless mobile device, with the another access node being selected based on the access node mobility attributes associated therewith; and
tracking the current movement of the wireless mobile device, and initiating the downloading of the predetermined information from the Internet based on the wireless mobile device approaching the location where the at least one service was previously requested.

Abstract
A method for operating a wireless mobile device moving through different types of networks includes storing within the wireless mobile device a type of network associated with a respective access node as the wireless mobile device moves through the different types of networks. A type of connectivity available for each access node is stored within the wireless mobile device, as well as location of each access node. The wireless mobile device is operated with a current access node corresponding to one type of network based on a current location of the wireless mobile device. Handoff is initiated by the wireless mobile device from the current access node to another access node corresponding to a different type of network based on movement of the wireless mobile device.
