Abstract:
A method is described of using the mobile device so as to control the drain of power from the power source of the mobile device, the mobile device having at least two location determination techniques having respective power drain characteristics, the method includes selecting the location determination technique having a lower power drain characteristic the greater the determined distance of the mobile device from a predetermined location or area, and selecting the location determination technique having the greater power drain characteristic the smaller the determined distance of the mobile device from a predetermined location or area. The method thus uses the least accurate technique when furthest away and the most accurate technique when closer to a predetermined location or area.

Claim (Index 13):
A device, comprising:\n a first location determination circuit usable to determine a location of the device using a first location determination technique, the first location determination technique associated with a first accuracy of determination; a second location determination circuit usable to determine a location of the device using a second location determination technique, the second location determination technique associated with a second accuracy of determination greater than the first accuracy of determination, and wherein the second location determination circuit has a higher power consumption in comparison to the first location determination circuit; a third location determination circuit usable to determine a location of the device using a third location determination technique, the third location determination techniques associated with a third accuracy of determination less than the first accuracy of determination, and wherein the third location determination circuit has a lower power consumption in comparison to the first location determination circuit; and a processor configured to:\n use the first location determination circuit to determine a first location of the device using the first location determination technique; \n compare a calculated distance between the determined first location and a predetermined location with a first error distance and a third error distance, the first error distance based upon the first accuracy of determination, and the third error distance based upon the third accuracy of determination, the third error distance being greater than the first error distance; \n responsive to the distance being less than the first error distance, use the second location determination circuit to determine an additional location of the device using the second location determination technique; and \n responsive to the distance being greater than the third error distance, use the third location determination circuit to determine an additional location of the device using the third location determination technique.
