A method for improving discovery of preferred mobile computing locations includes monitoring sensor data corresponding to a mobile computing device (MCD) and monitoring non-GPS network data implemented by the mobile computing device. Additionally, the method determines whether sensor data and non-GPS network data indicate that the mobile computing device is stationary within a cell site as well as scanning any network that the mobile computing device is electronically linked to. In short, the method discovers an improved preferred mobile computing location based on the sensor data and non-GPS network data that provide reliable information that the mobile computing device is stationary within the cell site. The sensor data and non-GPS network data are converged when several corresponding scans produce overlapping results.

Method for improving discovery of preferred mobile computing locations

A method () and mobile computing device () are described. In its simplest form, the method includes the steps of: operating () an application in synchronous communication with an application server via a persistent IP session, defining an active mode, wherein the synchronous communication is automatically enabled by establishing a persistent IP session according to a prearranged schedule; and providing () a dormant mode wherein the synchronous communication is automatically disabled in the mobile device by closing the persistent IP session according to the prearranged schedule. Advantageously, energy can be saved in the mobile computing device, thereby extending the life of an energy storage device or a battery. By the use of intelligent pushing management, substantial energy savings can be gained, by using prearranged scheduling of dormant and active modes.
