Techniques are provided that may be implemented in a mobile device to provide one or more location parameters to one or more mobile processes (e.g., applications) provided and/or otherwise supported, at least in part, by the mobile device. For example, a mobile device may be configured to monitor one or more processes hosted on a first processor, and initiate a communication on a bus connecting the first processor to a positioning engine external to the first processor to obtain at least one updated location parameter in response to detection of activity of at least one of the one or more processes. In certain instances, the updated location parameter(s) may have been previously determined by the positioning engine.

Methods and apparatuses for use in providing location parameters to mobile applications

A system and method for detecting motion by a mobile device is provided. The mobile device determines whether motion is detected by a motion detector. The motion detection is sampled at a first sampling rate when no motion is detected for a specified time. The motion detection is sampled at a second sampling rate when motion is detected, wherein the second sampling rate is more frequent than the first sampling rate.
