Claim:
1. A method for optimizing a data acquisition performance of one or more sensors of a mobile device, the method comprising: retrieving use case estimation data describing one or more historical journeys of the mobile device and one or more experiences during the one or more journeys that affected the operation of the one or more sensors of the mobile device; estimating a use case of a present journey of the mobile device based on the use case estimation data indicating that the present journey corresponds to at least one of the one or more historical journeys; retrieving a set of sensor configuration parameters associated with the estimated use case, wherein the set of sensor configuration parameters describe one or more parameter settings for the one or more sensors of the mobile device that are optimized for the estimated use case; and configuring, using a processor of the mobile device, the one or more parameter settings for the one or more sensors of the mobile device according to the set of sensor configuration parameters to operate during at least a portion of the present journey according to the set of sensor configuration parameters so that the data acquisition performance of the one or more sensors is optimized for the estimated use case as a result of being configured according to the set of sensor configuration parameters while operating during the portion of the journey.
