1. A method to determine a motion state of a mobile device, comprising:

  • storing a data table that includes a defined set of motion states that include a substantially stationary state of the mobile device, a substantially moving state of the mobile device, and a no change state, the data table cross-referencing a last reported activity and a probable activity, the last reported activity having triggered a last reported motion state for the mobile device;

    receiving data and determining a probable activity of the mobile device;

    indexing into the data table using the last reported activity and the probable activity to determine a new motion state for the mobile device; and

    comparing the new motion state to the last reported motion state to characterize the new motion state as substantially stationary or substantially moving or no change.
