Abstract

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

What is claimed is:

1. A mobile device comprising a processor, the processor including a memory to store instructions that, when executed on the processor, cause the processor to perform a procedure comprising:
setting a location update time interval for the mobile device to an initial value;
updating the location of the mobile device according to the location update time interval;
generating a set of weights based upon a set of estimates of a velocity component of the mobile…
