TECHNIQUES TO MINIMIZE USER INTERRUPTION WHILE SWITCHING A NETWORK CONNECTION

摘要

A computer-implemented method, comprising: establishing, by a mobile computing device having one or more processors, a first cellular connection between the mobile computing device and a first cellular service provider assigned to a virtual cellular network operator (MVNO); detecting, by the mobile computing device, one State that (i) a cellular activity level over the first cellular connection below an inactivity threshold, (ii) an available second cellular connection with another, second cellular provider assigned to the MVNO, and (iii) a signal strength difference between the current cellular connection and the new cellular connection indicates greater than a minimum strength improvement threshold; and in response to detecting the state: (a) terminating the first cellular connection by the mobile computing device, and (b) initiating, by the mobile computing device, the second cellular connection with the second cellular service provider associated with the MVNO.
