1. A method comprising:
- obtaining a first geo-location and a second geo-location, the first and second geo-locations associated with a monitoring device, the monitoring device configured to be used by a user, the first geo-location determined at a first time and the second geo-location determined at a second time, the first time and the second time associated with a rate of obtaining geo-location data;
calculating a difference in distance between the second and first geo-locations; and
changing the rate of obtaining a third geo-location associated with the monitoring device based on the difference in distance between the second and first geo-locations, wherein the method is executed by a processor.

Abstract
A method includes obtaining a first geo-location and a second geo-location. The first and second geo-locations are associated with a monitoring device. The monitoring device is configured to be used by a user. The first geo-location is determined at a first time and the second geo-location is determined at a second time. The first time and the second time are associated with a rate of obtaining geo-location data. The method includes calculating a difference in distance between the second and first geo-locations and changing the rate of obtaining a third geo-location associated with the monitoring device based on the difference in distance between the second and first geo-locations.

13. A method comprising:
-
obtaining an identity of a network associated with a first geo-location and a second geo-location, the first and second geo-locations associated with a monitoring device, the monitoring device configured to be used by a user, the first geo-location obtained at a first time, the second geo-location obtained at a second time, the first and second times associated with a rate of obtaining geo-location data; determining whether the identity of the network associated with the second geo-location is the same as the identity of the network associated with the first geo-location; and changing the rate of obtaining geo-location data upon determining that the identity of the network associated with the second geo-location is different from the identity of the network associated with the first geo-location, wherein the method is executed by a processor. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method comprising:
-
characterizing a first activity monitored by a monitoring device, the monitoring device configured to be used by a user, the first activity associated with a first time at which a first geo-location is obtained; characterizing a second activity monitored by the monitoring device, the second activity associated with a second time at which a second geo-location is obtained, the first time and the second time associated with a rate of obtaining geo-location data; determining whether the second activity is the same as the first activity; and changing the rate of obtaining geo-location data based on whether the second activity is different from the first activity, wherein the method is executed by a processor. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
