UTILIZING LOCATION-BASED DATA TO MANIPULATE POWER STATES OF EMBEDDED DEVICES
First Claim
1. One or more computer-readable storage media having computer-useable instructions embodied thereon for performing a method of utilizing location-based data to manipulate power states of one or more embedded devices, the method comprising:
- receiving location-based data from a positioning system, the location-based data describing a geographic positioning of a mobile device;
applying a set of positional rules to the location-based data to determine an appropriate power level of the one or more embedded devices within the mobile device;
providing for manipulating the power states of the one or more embedded devices based on the determined appropriate power level; and
at least temporarily storing the power states consistent with the manipulation at a mobile device.

Abstract
One or more media is provided for performing a method of utilizing location-based data to manipulate power states of one or more embedded devices on a mobile device. Initially, location-based data from a positioning system (GPS satellite) is received. Generally, the location-based data relates to a global position of the mobile device. The location-based data may then be applied to a set of positional rules, which includes comparing the position-based data against the one or more predefined positional coordinates. Accordingly, the appropriate power level of one or more embedded devices may be determined. Further, if the determination indicates that a present power level of the embedded devices conflicts with the determined appropriate power state, the power state of the conflicting embedded devices is manipulated consistent with the positional rule. As such, this configuration provides for a useful power-management scheme that preserves battery life.

8. A mobile device having one or more components thereon for performing a method for utilizing location-based data to manipulate power states, the method comprising:
-
receiving location-based data from a positioning system, the location-based data describing a global position of the mobile device; applying a positional rule to the location-based data, wherein a positional rule maps the global position of the mobile device to one of the power states of an embedded device; determining whether the positional rule is satisfied by the location-based data; and if the determination indicates that the positional rule is satisfied, then manipulating the power state of the embedded device consistent with the positional rule. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
