Abstract:
1. A method for launching and preparing applications on a mobile computing system based on geo-location data comprising: monitoring geo-location data associated with a mobile computing system, the geo-location data indicating a first position of the mobile computing system; monitoring the use of applications through the mobile computing system; determining a mobile computing system application that has been used through the mobile computing system; responsive to the determination, obtaining use data indicating the specific application used and geo-location data indicating the position of the mobile computing system at the time of the use of the application, the use data at least indicating a first movement and acceleration of the mobile computing system when the application was used; correlating the use data indicating the specific application used and the location data associated with the use of the application; storing the correlated use data and the location data; defining a threshold proximity distance; determining that a current position, using the geo-location data, that the mobile computing system is within the threshold proximity distance of the first position indicated by the stored geo-location data, the determination further including determining that a current movement of the mobile computing system matches the first movement and acceleration; launching, based on the current position and movement determination, the associated application on the mobile computing system.
