Claim:
1. A method comprising: receiving, by a motion fencing system of a mobile device and from a client component of the mobile device, a request that, when motion of the mobile device corresponds to an activity specified in the request, the motion fencing system shall notify the client component; mapping, by the motion fencing system, the activity to a motion domain that is defined by at least one of magnitude, duration, or frequency of the motion of the mobile device; determining, by the motion fencing system operating in a first power mode and using an amount of motions detected by a sensor, that the mobile device is in the motion domain of the activity upon determining that the motion of the mobile device satisfies at least one of the magnitude, duration, or frequency of motion; upon determining that the mobile device is in the motion domain, determining, by the motion fencing system in a second power mode and using patterns of motion detected by a sensor, that the motion of the mobile device corresponds to the activity; and notifying the client component by the motion fencing system, including causing the client component to turn on or turn off one or more functions of the mobile device, wherein the motion fencing system includes a processor that is configured to recognize the patterns, the processor being turned off in the first power mode and turned on in the second power mode.
