A method and apparatus that monitors at least one environmental characteristic associated with a location of a wireless signal receiver (). A determination is then made as to whether the wireless signal receiver () is likely to receive a wirelessly transmitted signal at its location. The determination is based at least in part upon the monitored at least one environmental characteristic that is associated with the location of the wireless signal receiver (). The performance of the wireless signal receiver () is then improved based upon determining if the wireless signal receiver () is likely to receive a wirelessly transmitted signal.

Wireless receiver operation

A portable communication device () includes a transceiver (and), an acceleration sensor () coupled to the transceiver, and a processor () coupled to the acceleration sensor. The processor is programmed to monitor () an acceleration profile of the portable communication device and compare (and) the acceleration profile of the portable communication device with at least one pre-stored acceleration profile ().

Method and apparatus for detecting loss and location of a portable communications device

An object selection apparatus ( ) has a geo-location processor ( ) that determines the location of a device ( ) at the time of an input by a user. The object selection apparatus ( ) also has a bearing determination processor ( ) that determines a bearing from the device ( ) at the time of the user input. The object selection apparatus ( ) also has a geo-content retrieval system ( ) that retries information that relates to a set of objects that correspond to the location and bearing of the device ( ) that was determined at the time of the input.
