Abstract
A mobile device running a software application is configured to provide initial location data to a server when it is first turned on, or achieves a predetermined movement status. The server determines, based on the initial location data, geo data including a set of areas of interest (AOIs) near the mobile device and a region including the set of AOIs, and provides the geo data to the mobile device. The mobile device is further configured to track its locations when the mobile device is within any of the set of AOIs and to provide the tracked locations to the server. The mobile device is further configured to track its movement status after it has been outside the region, and, in response to a predetermined movement status being detected for a predetermined amount of time, obtain updated geo data including a new region and a new set of AOIs from the server. The software application enables efficient tracking of mobile device locations and reduces power consumption.
