MONITORING GEOFENCE EXIT
First Claim
1. A method performed by a mobile device, comprising:
- determining that the mobile device is inside of a geofence;
designating one or more wireless access points observable when the mobile device is in the geofence as exit gateways for monitoring an exit from the geofence; and
detecting an exit of the mobile device from the geofence based at least in part on monitoring the exit gateways.

Abstract
Methods, program products, and systems for monitoring geofence exits using wireless access points are disclosed. In general, in one aspect, a mobile device can detect one or more entry gateways that are wireless access points selected for monitoring a geofence. The mobile device can determine that the mobile device is located in the geofence based on the detection. The mobile device can monitor the entry gateways and one or more exit gateways, which can be wireless access points observable by the mobile device when the mobile device is in the geofence. When the mobile device determines, after a number of scans using a wireless processor, that the entry gateways and exit gateways are unobservable, the mobile device can use an application processor to determine whether the mobile device has exited from the geofence.
