System and method for passive location storage
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for storing a parking location by a mobile device with access to a memory, the method comprising:
- detecting a first motion state, which is a driving state;
detecting a second motion state, which includes all natural human movements;
detecting a third motion state, which is a stopped state where the location remains unchanged for a period of time associated with the transition between the first motion state and the second motion state;
storing, in the memory, a geographic position associated with the stopped state as the parking location.

Abstract
A system and method for automatically storing a geographic position, without requiring user interaction, makes use of the ability of a location-aware mobile device to detect its state of motion using velocity or type of movement information. A transition between motion states is used to determine a parking location of a vehicle.
