Abstract

In one embodiment, a mobile client system may determine its location. The mobile client system may store the location in a location history in a memory of the mobile client system, where the location history comprises one or more geographic locations and one or more time stamps corresponding to each of the geographic locations. The mobile client system may detect its current status based at least in part on whether the mobile client system is stationary. The mobile client system may send the location history to a location server of an online social network based at least in part on the current status of the mobile client system and a power requirement for sending the location history to the location server.
