Anticipatory location-based mobile communication media transfer

摘要

Methods and systems for anticipatory location-based mobile communication media transfer are disclosed and may include pre-planning communication of information with a mobile communication device (MCD) based on present and future locations of the MCD and the availability of wireless services. The MCD may include location-determining capability which may include one or more of: a global navigation satellite system, triangulation, and ultra-wideband positioning. A travel route of the MCD may be anticipated utilizing the locations. The travel route may traverse one or more wireless coverage areas and the communication of information with the MCD may be configured when the travel route enters a wireless coverage area with a desired wireless capability, which may include one or more of: bandwidth, data transfer rate, cost, power requirements, channel conditions, quality of service, and secure communications capability. The information may include multimedia data. The MCD may include a plurality of wireless protocol capabilities.

1. A method for enabling communication, the method comprising:
scheduling, by a network access point, a media transfer to a mobile communication device while said mobile communication device is traveling along a selected travel route to a determined location, said determined location being a selected end-point of said selected travel route; determining, by said network access point, a time goal to said media transfer based on a media transfer routine of said mobile communication device; and initiating, by said network access point, said media transfer when said mobile communication device arrives at said determined location, said scheduling based on said determined location, said selected travel route, times said mobile communication device reached locations along said selected travel route, and said determined time goal to said media transfer.
