Techniques to minimize user disruption during network connection switching

摘要

The computer-implemented technique includes establishing, by a mobile computing device having one or more processors, a first cellular connection between the mobile computing device and a first cellular carrier associated with a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO); Indicating, by the mobile computing device, (i) the level of cellular activity through the first cellular connection below an inactivity threshold and (ii) a second available cellular connection with a different second cellular carrier associated with the MVNO. Detecting a condition; And in response to detecting the condition: (a) terminating a first cellular connection by the mobile computing device, and (b) initiating the second cellular connection with the second cellular carrier associated with the MVNO. It includes the steps.
