An example system may include a processor. The proces- 602 sor may be configurable to receive a current state of the computing device. The current state may be a charging or non-charging state. The charging state may be a state in which an energy source of the computing device is connected to and/or being charged by an external energy source. The non- charging state may be one in which the energy source is not connected to 604 and/or not being charged by the external energy source. The processor may be configurable to receive information pertaining to wireless signals of a WLAN. The information may include an identification of a nearest trans- mitting device. The processor may also be configurable to derive a location status of the computing device based on the current state of the computing 606 device and identification of the nearest transmitting device. 608 (54) Assessing a current state of the computing device 1 V Determing whether the computing device is receiving wireless signals V - 11 .4 IN 1-1 01 0 ei --.... 1-1 0 ei Assessing a communication state of the computing device V Deriving the location and/or location status of the computing device Figure 6 C
