Wireless end-user device with differential traffic control policy list applicable to one of several wireless modems
First Claim
1. A wireless end-user device, comprising:
- a plurality of wireless modems to communicate data related to one or more Internet access activities, the plurality of modems includinga wireless wide area network (WWAN) modem to communicate data for Internet service activities between the device and at least one WWAN, when configured for and connected to the WWAN, anda wireless local area network (WLAN) modem to communicate data for Internet service activities between the device and at least one WLAN, when configured for and connected to the WLAN; and
one or more processors configured toassociate each of a plurality of Internet access requests with a corresponding Internet destination,apply a differential traffic control policy to at least some of the Internet access requests, based on(i) the corresponding Internet destination associated with a particular Internet access request, and(ii) a differential traffic control policy list distinguishing between a first one or more Internet destinations and a second one or more Internet destinations,such that,for a first one of the wireless modems, Internet access requests are allowed when associated with one of the first one or more Internet destinations and allowed when associated with one of the second one or more Internet destinations, andfor a second one of the wireless modems, Internet access requests are disallowed when associated with one of the first one or more Internet destinations and allowed when associated with one of the second one or more Internet destinations.

Abstract
A wireless end-user device has wireless wide-area network (WWAN) and wireless local-area network (WLAN) modems. One or more processors associate each of a plurality of Internet access requests with a corresponding destination address. The processors apply a differential traffic control policy to at least some of the Internet access requests, based on the corresponding destination address and whether or not that destination address is covered by a differential traffic control policy list. For one of the modems, the list treatment of a destination address determines whether an Internet access request is allowed or disallowed. For the other modem, the list treatment does not cause that same destination address to cause an Internet access request to be disallowed.
