Communication environment switchover
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a memory to store instructions; and
a processor, coupled to the memory, that facilitates execution of the instructions to perform operations, comprising;
in response to querying a wireless access point device for measured signal strength data, determining signal strength information of a transmitted signal associated with a device based on the measured signal strength data;
in response to determining that the device is not provisioned to communicate in a first communication environment, determining whether the device is provisioned to communicate in a second communication environment;
in response to determining that the device is provisioned to communicate in the second communication environment, determining whether a level of the signal strength information is less than a second predetermined level of the signal strength information, wherein the second predetermined level is lower than a first predetermined level of the signal strength information that is associated with a first communication in the second communication environment;
in response to determining that the device is provisioned to communicate in the second communication environment, and in response to determining that the level of the signal strength information is less than the second predetermined level, facilitating re-provisioning the device for establishing a second communication in the first communication environment; and
in response to determining that the device is provisioned to communicate in the first communication environment, and in response to determining that the level of the signal strength information is greater than the first predetermined level, facilitating re-provisioning the device for establishing the first communication and a third communication in the second communication environment.

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.

8. A method, comprising:
-
in response to sending a request to a wireless access point device for data associated with a signal received by the wireless access point device, determining, by a system comprising a processor, a strength of the signal; in response to determining that the device is not provisioned to communicate in a first environment, determining, by the system, whether the device is provisioned to communicate in a second environment; in response to determining that the device is provisioned to communicate in the second environment, determining whether the strength of the signal is less than a second predetermined signal strength, wherein the second predetermined signal strength is lower than a first predetermined signal strength associated with facilitating establishing a first communication in the second environment; in response to determining that the strength of the signal is less than the second predetermined signal strength, facilitating, by the system, re-provisioning of the device for facilitating a second communication in the first environment; and in response to determining that the device is provisioned to communicate in the first environment, and in response to determining that the strength of the signal is greater than the first predetermined signal strength, facilitating, by the system, re-provisioning of the device for facilitating the first communication and a third communication in the second communication environment. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A tangible computer-readable storage medium, comprising computer executable instructions that, in response to execution, cause a computing system comprising a processor to perform operations, comprising:
-
determining a strength level of a signal that is transmitted by a first device and received by a second device by querying the second device to obtain a measurement of the strength level of the signal; in response to determining that the first device is not provisioned to communicate in the first environment, determining whether the first device is provisioned to communicate in a second environment and determining whether the strength level of the signal is less than a second predetermined strength level that is lower than a first predetermined strength level, wherein the first predetermined strength level is associated with facilitating a first communication in the second environment; in response to determining that the first device is provisioned to communicate in the second environment and that the strength level of the signal is less than the second predetermined strength level, re-provisioning the first device to facilitate establishing a second communication in the first environment; and in response to determining that the first device is provisioned to communicate in the first environment and that the strength level of the signal is greater than the first predetermined strength level, re-provisioning the first device to facilitate establishing the first communication and a third communication in the second environment. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)
