主权项

1. A system comprising:
a CPU, a computer readable memory and a computer readable storage medium; program instructions to generate a result table of available secondary wireless networks based on the proximity and strength of the available secondary wireless networks; program instructions to compare the available secondary wireless networks in the result table of available secondary wireless networks to a history table providing data for previously used wireless networks used by the wireless device in the past; program instructions to connect the wireless device with a selected one of the available secondary wireless networks based on which one of the available secondary wireless networks is listed on the history table while a wireless device is still connected to a primary wireless network; and program instructions to disconnect the wireless device from the selected second secondary wireless network or the primary wireless network based on a comparison of differences in at least one of price, proximity and signal strength of the selected secondary wireless network and the primary wireless network, such that the wireless device will be connected only to one of the primary wireless network or the selected secondary wireless network; wherein the program instructions are stored on the computer readable storage medium for execution by the CPU via the computer readable memory.
