value of parameter “ROUTE_IND,” which is valid until a delivery error is
received and the parameter is changed (Specification 6: 5-24).
2. Doviak relates to a method and system for transporting data
over dissimilar communications media between a remote mobile or fixed
terminal device and a host system (Abstract). A router selects a
communications network in accordance with user configured parameters
(id.).
3. Doviak further describes transportation of data to include
determining wireless communications link selection criteria (col. 6, ll. 19-
24) which uses two classes of parameters to determine the next network to
use for transport of data (col. 6, ll. 56-59).
4. Doviak’s switching system switches networks during the time
between the transport of consecutive data packets (col. 6, ll. 53-55).
5. Figure 30 of Doviak shows Router 200, which enables the
mobile device to selectively transmit and receive data over a plurality of
networks according to user configured parameters (col. 29, ll. 48-53).
6. The router includes a Decision process 206 which monitors the
user configuration parameters 208 and the Network Availability function
210 and specifies a network to be substituted for the network currently in use
after its availability is checked by Network Availability function 210
(col. 30, ll. 4-14; col. 34, ll. 19-32).
7. Doviak discloses that the Network Availability function 210
periodically interrogates each Network Interface 214 and passes the status of
each interface to Decision process 206 to be considered in determining what
the “next Network” should be (col. 34, ll. 19-36).
