Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A wireless mobile communication device may include a Wi-Fi data communication system, an operational condition detection system, and a Wi-Fi activation system. The operational condition detection system may be configured to detect an operational condition of the wireless mobile communication device, other than actuation of a user-operated control. The operational condition may be when a motion sensor senses that the wireless mobile communication device has been substantially motionless. The Wi-Fi activation system may be configured to autonomously turn power on to the Wi-Fi data communication system upon detection of an operational condition of the wireless mobile communication device by the operational condition detection system, other than actuation of a user-operated control.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A wireless mobile communication device comprising: a data storage system configured to store a list indicative of a plurality of Wi-Fi access points that have been previously used by the wireless mobile communication device, wherein a number of the Wi-Fi access points in the list are classified as high usage access points, wherein the classification of the number of Wi-Fi access points as high usage access points is based on one or more of: a number of…
