Abstract
Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, systems and/or methods of geofencing. For example, an apparatus may include a geofencing detector to trigger a first location scan for a first location fix of a mobile device; and a location calculator to dynamically update an activity-based location area of the mobile device relative to the first location fix, based on a plurality of detected activity states of a user of the mobile device, the plurality of detected activity states corresponding to a plurality of detection points subsequent to the first location scan, wherein the geofencing detector is to trigger a second location scan for a second location fix of the mobile device, based on the activity-based location area and a geofencing boundary.

26. An apparatus comprising:
-
a geofencing detector to trigger a first location scan for a first location fix of a mobile device; and a location calculator to dynamically update an activity-based location area of said mobile device relative to said first location fix, based on a plurality of detected activity states of a user of said mobile device, the plurality of detected activity states corresponding to a plurality of detection points subsequent to said first location scan, wherein said geofencing detector is to trigger a second location scan for a second location fix of said mobile device, based on said activity-based location area and a geofencing boundary. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)
