Patent ID: 7742874

Claim:
A method for configuring an electronic device comprising: (A) substantially continuously detecting motion of an electronic device by using an initiating device disposed within said electronic device, said electronic device comprising said initiating device, a position determining component, and a wireless communications component; said initiating device further comprising: a motion detecting component, a controller, a memory including a switch algorithm, and a processor; said position determining component further comprising an internal antenna, a port for an external antenna, an antenna/power supply switch; and an external antenna; said wireless communications component further comprising a wireless modem, and a wireless antenna; (B) substantially continuously receiving at least one external radio signal by using an initially selected antenna of said position determining component; said at least one external radio signal being used by said position determining component to determine position location of said electronic device; and (C) if reception of said at least one external radio signal is not optimized, using said antenna/power supply switch to switch radio signal path between said initially selected antenna and a subsequently selected antenna to optimize the reception of said at least one external radio signal.
