Method for selecting a communications network mode having an optimum efficiency
First Claim
1. A method for selecting a communications network mode for a communication having an optimal efficiency where multiple operational networks types are available comprising the steps of:
- determining all available delivery options among multiple networking modes;
determining operational parameters for the selected communication;
determining user preferences for the selected communication;
estimating at least one key metric as a function of delivery option; and
determining an optimal delivery option for the selected communication.

Abstract
A method for utilizing a personal agent in a communications device for selecting the method of delivery of at least one communication having multiple networking type modes (200) includes discovering all available delivery options (203). One or more operational parameters are detected (205) including information based on the agent'"'"'s knowledge of the user'"'"'s schedule. The impact on battery consumption of the communication is also estimated (209) and a key metric is determined (211) based on the type of delivery options that are available. Finally, an optimal delivery option is determined (213) where it can be either automatically selected or presented to the user of the device.
