First Claim
1. A mobile electronic communications device comprising:
- a housing;
a memory;
a data entry mechanism;
a display for visual data;
at least one wireless transceiver, the at least one wireless transceiver configured to transmit and receive data via electromagnetic signals conforming to a plurality of wireless signaling protocols;
a controller, the controller being communicatively connected to the memory, data entry mechanism, and display, and being configured to send and receive data using the at least one wireless transceiver, the controller including a compressor that is configured to read seed data from the memory, to generate compressed seed data, and to compress at least one other set of uncompressed data for transmission by the at least one wireless transceiver after compressing the seed data, and a decompressor that is configured to read the compressed seed data generated by the compressor, to decompress the compressed seed data, and to decompress at least one other set of compressed data received by the at least one wireless transceiver after decompressing the seed data;
the controller additionally configured to;
detect available wireless networks through which the at least one wireless transceiver is able to send and receive data using at least one of the plurality of wireless signaling protocols;
compare network identifications of available wireless networks to a predetermined list of network identifications ordered by preference;
establish a wireless network connection with an available wireless network having a network identification corresponding to a most preferred network identification in the predetermined list of network identifications for which a wireless network is available; and
execute an authentication process in response to establishing the wireless network connection.

Abstract
A mobile electronic communications device includes a housing, a memory, a data entry mechanism, a display for visual data, at least one wireless transceiver configured to transmit and receive electromagnetic signals conforming to a plurality of wireless signaling protocols, and a controller. The controller is communicatively connected to the memory, data entry mechanism, and display; and is configured to send and receive data using the at least one wireless transceiver. The controller detects available wireless networks using at least one of the plurality of wireless signaling protocols, compares network identifications of available wireless networks to a predetermined list of network identifications ordered by preference, establishes a wireless network connection with an available wireless network having a network identification corresponding to a most preferred network identification in the predetermined list of network identifications, and executes an authentication process in response to establishing the wireless network connection.
