Abstract

A user interface transient communication apparatus, method, and system. A user interface selects a communication path with a gateway without experiencing repeated failure. The user interface includes a network communication device for communicating with a remote device and a processor coupled to the network communication device. The processor includes instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to receive a system notification of a local area network on which the network communication device is communicating, communicate with a target gateway on the local area network through the network communication device if the target gateway is communicating on the local area network, and communicate with the target gateway through a wide area network through the network communication device if the target gateway is not communicating on the local area network.
