Abstract
A system and method are provided for determining a location of a portable device relative to an object. The system and method may include operating in two modes: 1) a first mode in which an antenna output, such as a received signal strength indicator, satisfies a mode transition criterion that is dynamic, and 2) a second mode in which, with the mode transition criterion being satisfied, the location of the portable device is determined.
