Techniques for determining an optimal connection duration for a connection between a client and a server across a network
First Claim
1. A method of determining an optimal connection duration for a connection between a client device and a server across a network comprising:
- identifying, using the client device, a network access point that communicatively couples the client device to a network;
selecting a sever connection time period;
initiating the connection between the client device and the server via the network based on the sever connection time period;
determining whether a sever connection notification was received from the server within the sever connection time period, wherein the sever connection notification indicates to the client device that the connection between the client device and the server is still live, wherein the sever connection notification is further configured to notify the client device that the server is preparing to sever the connection between the client device and the server; and
adjusting the sever connection time period based on the determination.

Abstract
Techniques for determining an optimal connection duration for a connection between a client device and a server across a network are disclosed. In one particular embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a method for determining an optimal connection duration for a connection between a client device and a server across a network comprising: identifying, using the client device, a network access point that communicatively couples the client device to a network; selecting a sever connection time period; initiating the connection between the client device and the server via the network based on the sever connection time period; determining whether a sever connection notification was received from the server within the sever connection time period; and adjusting the sever connection time period based on the determination.

13. An article of manufacture for determining an optimal connection duration for a connection between a client device and a server across a network, the article of manufacture comprising:
-
at least one non-transitory processor readable medium; and instructions stored on the at least one medium; wherein the instructions are configured to be readable from the at least one medium by at least one processor and thereby cause the at least one processor to operate so as to; identify a network access point that communicatively couples the client device to a network; select a sever connection time period; initiate the connection between the client device and the server via the network based on the sever connection time period; determine whether a sever connection notification was received from the server within the sever connection time period, wherein the sever connection notification indicates to the client device that the connection between the client device and the server is still live, wherein the sever connection notification is further configured to notify the client device that the server is preparing to sever the connection between the client device and the server; and adjust the sever connection time period based on the determination.

14. A system for determining an optimal connection duration for a connection between a client device and a server across a network comprising:
-
one or more computer processors configured to; identify a network access point that communicatively couples the client device to a network; select a sever connection time period; initiate the connection between the client device and the server via the network based on the sever connection time period; determine whether a sever connection notification was received from the server within the sever connection time period, wherein the sever connection notification indicates to the client device that the connection between the client device and the server is still live, wherein the sever connection notification is further configured to notify the client device that the server is preparing to sever the connection between the client device and the server; and adjust the sever connection time period based on the determination; and at least one memory, coupled to the one or more computer processors, configured to provide the one or more computer processors with instructions. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A method of determining an optimal connection duration for a connection between a client device and a server across a network comprising:
-
identifying, using the client device, a network access point that communicatively couples the client device to a network; selecting a sever connection time period; initiating the connection between the client device and the server via the network based on the sever connection time period; determining whether a sever connection notification was received from the server within the sever connection time period, wherein the sever connection notification indicates to the client device that the connection between the client device and the server is still live; and adjusting the sever connection time period based on the determination wherein the sever connection time period indicates an amount of time the server should wait before gracefully severing the connection between the client device and the server.
