Apparatus and method of providing connection source recommendations using a database of historic data on connectivity
First Claim
1. A method of providing connection source recommendations using a database of historic data on connectivity comprising:
- receiving, by a processor, location information and connection information from each of a plurality of mobile devices, the plurality of mobile devices including a first mobile device,the location information from each of the mobile devices identifying a location of each of the mobile devices, respectively,the connection information from each of the mobile devices identifying one of a plurality of connection sources as a preferred connection source used to identify the location of each of the mobile devices, respectively;
storing by the processor, in the database, the location information and the connection information, wherein the database includes a plurality of location information and a history of connection information for each location information;
analyzing by the processor the database to identify the preferred connection source for each of the mobile devices, respectively, based on the received location information; and
transmitting by the processor a plurality of conservation command signals to each of the mobile devices, respectively,wherein each of the conservation command signals is a command to each of the mobile devices, respectively, to reduce operation of internal sensors or radios to connection sources other than the preferred connection source for each of the mobile devices, respectively.

Abstract
A method of providing connection source recommendations using a database of historic data on connectivity starts with a processor receiving location and connection information from each mobile device. Location information may identify a location of each mobile device, respectively. Connection information may identify one of the connection sources as a preferred connection source used to identify the location of each mobile device, respectively. Processor may then store, in database, location and connection information. Database may include a plurality of location information and a history of connection information for each location information. When processor determines that mobile device has changed location, processor may transmit to mobile device connection information recommendation based on an analysis of database. Processor may transmit conservation command to each mobile device, respectively, to reduce operation of sensors to connection sources other than the preferred connection source for each mobile device, respectively. Other embodiments are described.
