Pre-fetching information based on gesture and/or location
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- at a mobile device coupled to a memory, electronically detecting an arrival of said mobile device at a location by determining an estimate of a location of said mobile device and detecting that said estimated location is within a pre-defined geo-fenced area; and
pre-fetching, from said memory and in response to said detection of said arrival, one or more electrical digital signals representative of information in connection with executing one or more applications and/or functions on said mobile device.

Abstract
Example methods, apparatuses, and articles of manufacture are disclosed that may be utilized to pre-fetch and/or obtain information for use with mobile devices based, at least in part, on a gesture of a user and/or location of a mobile device. By way of example, a method may include detecting an arrival of a mobile device at a location; and pre-fetching, in response to the detection of the arrival, information in connection with executing one or more applications and/or functions on the mobile device. In certain implementations, a method may include processing signals received from at least one sensor at a mobile device; inferring, in response to the processing the signals, a likelihood of a user executing one or more applications and/or functions on the mobile device; and pre-fetching information in connection with the executing applications and/or functions on the mobile device based, at least in part, on the likelihood.
