Wireless End-User Device With Differentiated Network Access Selectively Applied to Different Applications

摘要

A wireless end-user device has wireless wide-area network (WWAN) and wireless local-area network (WLAN) modems. A memory stores a network service activity control policy set that includes multiple differential traffic control policy elements applicable respectively to different end-user applications. One or more processors are configured to implement an application program interface (API) to control application access to Internet data services communicated through the modems. The API selectively blocks or allows Internet access activities by each of the end-user applications based on their respective traffic control policy elements and based on the modem to be used for the Internet access activities.
