Abstract
The technical problem of reducing power consumption of paired client devices is addressed by using respective location data of paired client devices to determine whether to disable or to resume operation of short range wireless communication component, such as, e.g., a Bluetooth® sensor. In some examples, the location services utilize global positioning system (GPS). Respective location data of paired client devices is communicated between the paired client devices via a messaging server.
