First Claim
Patent Images
1. A device, comprising:
- at least one processor;
a global positioning system (GPS) transceiver accessible to the at least one processor;
a motion sensor accessible to the at least one processor; and
storage accessible to the at least one processor and bearing instructions executable by the at least one processor to;
identify directions to a location;
determine, based on one or more factors related to the directions, at least a first rate at which the GPS transceiver is to communicate with at least one satellite for outputting the directions, the one or more factors comprising at least one speed limit along a route to the location;
output directions for following the route to the location; and
communicate with the at least one satellite at the first rate for at least a portion of the outputting of directions.

Abstract
In one aspect, a device includes at least one processor, a global positioning system (GPS) transceiver accessible to the at least one processor, a motion sensor accessible to the at least one processor, a cellular communication transceiver accessible to the at least one processor, and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage bears instructions executable by the at least one processor to provide directions to follow a route to a destination and to vary a rate at which the GPS transceiver communicates with at least one satellite for providing the directions.

14. A method, comprising:
-
providing, using a device, directions to follow a route to a destination; and varying, based at least in part on at least one speed limit for at least a portion of the route, a speed at which a global positioning system (GPS) transceiver on the device communicates with at least one satellite for providing the directions. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)

19. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a first processor; a network adapter; and storage bearing instructions executable by at least one second processor of a first device for; providing directions to follow a route to a destination; and varying a rate at which a global positioning system (GPS) transceiver accessible to the second processor communicates with a second device for providing the directions, wherein the at which the GPS transceiver communicates with the second device for providing the directions varies based on at least one speed limit along the route; wherein the first processor transfers the instructions to the first device over a network via the network adapter. - View Dependent Claims (20)
