A context aware system, for use in a mobile device, includes a context change detector (CCD) coupled to a context classifier (CCL). The CCD is configured to receive sensor data and to detect a change in a current context state of the mobile device based on the received sensor data. The CCL is configured to transition from a low power consumption mode to a normal power consumption mode in response to the CCD detecting the change in the current context state. The CCL is further configured to determine a next context state of the mobile device while in the normal power consumption mode.

Context aware system with multiple power consumption modes

The disclosure is directed to using motion to improve local wireless network connectivity. An aspect determines whether or not a motion state of a mobile device has changed and, if the motion state has changed, determines whether or not to trigger a scan for a local wireless network.

Using motion to improve local wireless network connectivity

The disclosure is directed to using a change in motion to improve place of relevance (PoR) detection. An aspect determines whether or not a motion state of a mobile device has changed to a new motion state, determines whether or not to trigger the mobile device to scan for available local wireless networks if the motion state has changed, and identifies a PoR based on the scanning.

Using motion to optimize place of relevance operations

Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for utilizing relationships between places of relevance are presented. In some embodiments, a mobile computing device may obtain information indicative of a micro-place of relevance visited by the mobile device at a first time. The information may be based on measurements taken by the mobile device at the first time. Further, the mobile device may derive an attribute of the visit to the micro-place of relevance based on the obtained information and a place model that associates micro-places of relevance with macro-places of relevance.
