==SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DYNAMICALLY CONTROLLING THE CONFIGURATION OF A MODEM OF A USER EQUIPMENT DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18372039 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DYNAMICALLY CONTROLLING THE CONFIGURATION OF A MODEM OF A USER EQUIPMENT DEVICE

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a method for optimizing network usage on a user equipment (UE) device by analyzing data from running applications and selecting an appropriate modem configuration based on this analysis.

* Obtaining data on individual network usage characteristics of each running application on a UE device.
* Analyzing this data to determine a composite network usage characteristic for all applications.
* Selecting a modem configuration from a set of candidate configurations based on the composite characteristic.
* Configuring the modem of the UE device to operate according to the selected configuration.

== Potential Applications ==
This technology could be applied in mobile devices, IoT devices, and other connected devices to optimize network performance based on the specific applications being used.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology addresses the issue of inefficient network usage on devices by dynamically adjusting modem configurations based on the network requirements of running applications.

== Benefits ==
- Improved network efficiency and performance on UE devices.
- Enhanced user experience with faster and more reliable network connections.
- Potential cost savings by optimizing data usage on devices.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
Optimizing network usage in smartphones, tablets, IoT devices, and other connected devices to provide better performance and user experience.

== Possible Prior Art ==
Prior art may include technologies related to network optimization on mobile devices, application-specific network configurations, and dynamic modem adjustments based on network conditions.

=== What are the potential security implications of dynamically adjusting modem configurations based on running applications? ===

Dynamically adjusting modem configurations based on running applications could potentially lead to security vulnerabilities if not implemented properly. For example, if the selection process is not secure, malicious applications could manipulate the modem configuration to gain unauthorized access to the network or sensitive data.

=== How does this technology impact battery life on UE devices? ===

Optimizing modem configurations based on running applications could have an impact on battery life, as different configurations may consume varying amounts of power. It would be important to consider the trade-off between network performance and battery consumption when implementing this technology.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Disclosed are methods, systems, and computer-readable medium to perform operations including obtaining first data regarding one or more applications running on a UE device, where the first data represents, for each of the one or more applications, an individual network usage characteristic of that application; determining, based on the first data, second data regarding the one or more applications, where the second data represents a composite network usage characteristic of the one or more applications; selecting, based on the second data, a first modem configuration from among a plurality of candidate modem configurations; and causing a modem of the UE device to operate according to the first modem configuration.
