Claim:
1. A method, comprising: detecting, at a first time, by an electronic device, and during detection of walking activity by the electronic device, an identifier of a wireless device; associating, in a database, the identifier of the wireless device and an indicator of walking activity; detecting, at a second time, by the electronic device, and during detection of walking activity by the electronic device, the identifier of the wireless device, wherein the second time occurs after the first time; updating, in the database, based on detecting the identifier of the wireless device at the second time, a detection count associated with the identifier of the wireless device and the indicator of walking activity; responsive to determining that the detection count equals a predetermined threshold, updating, in the database, a correlation field to indicate a correlation between the identifier of the wireless device and the indicator of walking activity; and responsive to detecting, at a third time and during detection of walking activity by the electronic device, the identifier of the wireless device, automatically switching, by the electronic device, to an operating mode associated with the indicator of walking activity, wherein the third time occurs after correlating the identifier of the wireless device and the indicator of walking activity.
