Intelligent algorithm to determine service availability and presentation to user

摘要

A system and method is disclosed for selectively masking or revealing an availability of mobile voice and data services associated with a mobile device when a handoff frequency from data capable to data-limited networks exceeds a threshold. The system can include components that can detect a network handoff event, compute a handoff frequency and compare the handoff frequency to a threshold. Additional components can mask availability of voice and data services at mobile device based on the comparison. Also disclosed is a method for determining a mobile device location, mapping RF signal quality of data capable networks surrounding the location, and indicating an impending loss of service if the RF signal quality falls below a quality threshold.
