Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A system and method for a mobile device to efficiently use a geofence capability without draining its battery, and to allow flexibility in specifying various parameters related to geofencing, such as the latency and confidence in determining when or where a geofence breach occurs, and reducing the probability of not detecting a geofence breach.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: providing a first geofence client to a first processor in a mobile device, wherein the first geofence client specifies a first geofence and a first latency setting for breach notification of the first geofence; running a first process on the first processor associated with the first geofence, the first process to generate a set of results associated with the mobile device and the first geofence, the set of results indicating a current…
