1. A method for providing a reminder to a user of a mobile device, the method comprising, at the mobile device:
- monitoring, using location circuitry, a location of the mobile device to identify whether the mobile device crosses a first geographical boundary of a first geographical area;
after identifying that the mobile device crosses the first geographical boundary of the first geographical area;
identifying a first location-based reminder;
determining whether an opportune event occurs, wherein the opportune event is determined to occur based on motion sensor information indicating a change of the mobile device from a first motion state to a second motion state, wherein the second motion state is a state that the mobile device is in a position that a user is able to review the first location-based reminder; and
providing the first location-based reminder to the user in response to determining that the opportune event occurred.

Abstract
A method and device for providing a reminder to a user of a mobile device are provided. A location of the mobile device is monitored to identify whether the first geographical area is triggered by the mobile device crossing a first boundary of the first geographical area. After the mobile device crosses the first boundary the first location-based reminder is identified and a state of the mobile device is determined. The first location-based reminder can be provided to the user when an opportune event occurs.

20. A mobile device comprising:
-
one or more sensors; one or more processors configured to; monitor, using location circuitry, a location of the mobile device to identify whether the mobile device crosses a first geographical boundary of a first geographical area; after identifying that the mobile device crosses the first geographical boundary of the first geographical area; identify a first location-based reminder; determine whether an opportune event occurs, wherein the opportune event is determined to occur based on motion sensor information indicating a change of the mobile device from a first motion state to a second motion state, wherein the second motion state is a state that the mobile device is in a position that a user is able to review the first location-based reminder; and providing the first location-based reminder to the user in response to determining that the opportune event occurred.
