Abstract:
1. A wireless mobile communication device comprising: a Wi-Fi data communication system configured to wirelessly connect to a Wi-Fi access point and to wirelessly communicate data between the wireless mobile communication device and the Wi-Fi access point; an operation condition detection system, including: a data storage system configured to store locations of Wi-Fi access points and information indicative of a number of times each Wi-Fi access point has been used by the wireless mobile communication device for data communication; and a Wi-Fi activation system configured to autonomously turn power on to the Wi-Fi data communication system upon detection of the turn-on operational condition of the wireless mobile communication device by the operational condition detection system, other than actuation of a user-operated control, including when the location sensor senses that the wireless mobile communication device is near a Wi-Fi access point that has been used more than a pre-determined number of times by the wireless mobile communication device for data communication, wherein the Wi-Fi activation system is configured not to autonomously turn power on to the Wi-Fi data communication system, notwithstanding detection of the turn-on operational condition of the wireless mobile communication device by the operational condition detection system, when the battery power level detector detects that the charge level of the battery is below a pre-determined threshold.
