Abstract:
1. A method for dynamic wireless network discovery comprising: connecting a mobile device through an available wireless network to a remote connection test server; updating wireless network configuration information stored in a configuration database local to the mobile device with information obtained from the connection to the connection test server; transmitting the updated local wireless network configuration information to a centralized server database that aggregates wireless network configuration information received from a plurality of mobile devices; generating modified wireless network configuration information at the centralized server for one or more wireless networks based on the aggregated wireless network configuration information; transmitting the modified wireless network configuration information from the centralized server to one or more mobile devices; updating the wireless network configuration information stored locally in the one or more mobile devices using the modified wireless network configuration information received from the centralized server; wherein for each wireless network the step of generating modified wireless network configuration information at the centralized server further comprises:
