Patent Images
1. A mobile computing device comprising:
- a wireless transceiver;
a processing circuit including a radio processor and a host processor; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processing circuit, causes the mobile computing device to;
identify a wireless access point;
detect a wireless access point identifier;
compare the detected wireless access point identifier with an identifier of the identified wireless access point while the host processor operates in a reduced power mode;
andswitch an operating mode of the host processor from the reduced power mode to a normal power mode based, at least in part, on the comparison.

Abstract
A mobile computing device comprises a wireless transceiver and a processing circuit. The processing circuit is configured to identify a location, to identify a wireless access point within a predetermined distance of the location, to detect a wireless access point identifier using the wireless transceiver, to compare the detected wireless access point identifier to the identified wireless access point, and to initiate location determination based on the comparison.

27. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processing circuit of a mobile computing device, cause the mobile computing device to:
-
identify a wireless access point; detect a wireless access point identifier; compare the detected wireless access point identifier with an identifier of the identified wireless access point while a host processor of the processing circuit operates in a reduced power mode; and switch an operating mode of the host processor from the reduced power mode to a normal power mode based, at least in part, on the comparison. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)
