US Patent:
20190166534, May 30, 2019
Filed:
Nov 30, 2017
Appl. No.:
15/828393
Inventors:
- Mountain View CA, US
Myra Nam - Mountain View CA, US
Xuan Zheng - Mountain View CA, US
Weihua Tan - Fremont CA, US
Jean Choi - San Francisco CA, US
Assignee:
Google LLC - Mountain View CA
International Classification:
H04W 36/14
H04W 36/32
Abstract:
A method includes receiving a carrier switching model, determining that user equipment (UE) is transitioning between carrier cells based on at least one connection performance metric of the UE, and obtaining a current UE location and any available carrier networks of carriers relative to the current UE location. The method also includes determining a carrier switch score for each available carrier network using the carrier switching model and determining to switch carrier networks based on the carrier switch score of a currently-connected available carrier network relative to the carrier switch score of another available carrier network. Each carrier switch score is based on at least one of a predicted signal strength or a predicted radio access technology over a threshold period of time for the respective available carrier network. The method also includes causing the UE to switch connection to the other available carrier network.

US Patent:
20180124692, May 3, 2018
Filed:
Oct 31, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/338819
Inventors:
- Mountain View CA, US
Weihua Tan - Fremont CA, US
International Classification:
H04W 48/18
H04W 60/04
H04W 52/02
Abstract:
An apparatus, such as a wireless mobile device dynamically obtains configuration information for a plurality of different network switching decision modules from a server in response to a detected network condition change event. The server responds with network switching decision module configuration information which serves as configuration information for a plurality of different network switching decision modules on the wireless mobile device. The wireless mobile device selectively invokes the plurality of network switching decision modules that are enabled by the obtained configuration information from the server. Each of the enabled network switching decision modules performs its respective switching decision process and outputs its decision in the form of network switching decision data. The network switching decision data from each of the invoked network switching decision modules is evaluated to determine whether switching should occur from a current network to another network.

System And Method For Recommending Media Programs And Notifying A User Before Programs Start

US Patent:
20180046624, Feb 15, 2018
Filed:
Oct 26, 2017
Appl. No.:
15/795127
Inventors:
- Mountain View CA, US
Weihua Tan - San Bruno CA, US
International Classification:
G06F 17/30
H04N 21/81
H04N 21/658
H04N 21/482
H04N 21/472
H04N 21/45
H04N 21/442
H04N 21/2665
H04N 21/258
H04N 7/16
H04N 21/84
H04N 21/478
Abstract:
The various implementations described herein include methods and systems for personalized media program recommendations. In one aspect, a method is performed at a server system having processors and memory. The server system: (1) receives, from a client device, a user request for a media program event recommendation; (2) prior to receiving the user request, collects and stores user search history data associated with media program events; (3) creates a search query in accordance with the user request based on the user search history and a portion of the user request; (4) executes the search query against databases to generate media program event recommendations; (5) ranks the generated media program event recommendations; and (6) sends automatically to a calendar associated with the user, a calendar event corresponding to a respective media program event recommendation.

Assignee:
Google Inc. - Mountain View CA
International Classification:
H04W 36/30
H04W 24/08
H04W 4/14
Abstract:
Computer-implemented techniques involve detecting, by a server having one or more processors, a first cellular connection between a computing device and a first cellular network of a first cellular carrier associated with a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO), detecting, by the server, an outage of at least the first cellular network of the first cellular carrier, in response to detecting the outage of the first cellular network, determining, by the server, an alternate communication channel by which to communicate with the computing device, and transmitting, by the server, a carrier switch instruction to the computing device via the alternate communication channel, wherein receipt of the carrier switch instruction causes the computing device to: (i) terminate the first cellular connection and (ii) initiate a second cellular connection with another cellular network of different second cellular carrier associated with the MVNO.

US Patent:
20170289894, Oct 5, 2017
Filed:
Apr 1, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/088383
Inventors:
- Mountain View CA, US
Weihua Tan - Fremont CA, US
International Classification:
H04W 36/30
H04W 76/02
H04W 36/14
Abstract:
A mobile device that supports a plurality of SIM profiles each corresponding to a different wireless network, measures a current network quality of a first wireless network and obtains network quality information for a second wireless mobile peer device as measured by the mobile peer device. The mobile device switches from the first wireless network to the second wireless network based on the obtained network quality information from the mobile peer device and based on the current network quality of the first wireless network by the mobile device. The network quality measurement received from the mobile peer device is provided through a wireless peer to peer communication link such as a Bluetooth link or other suitable non-internet protocol peer to peer communication link. The mobile peer device also supports a plurality of SIM profiles. Corresponding methods are also described.
