Disablement of global positioning system transceiver while providing directions
First Claim
1. A device, comprising:
- a processor;
a global positioning system (GPS) transceiver accessible to the processor;
a motion sensor accessible to the processor; and
storage accessible to the processor and bearing instructions executable by the processor to;
identify a route to a location based at least in part on input from the GPS transceiver;
determine whether to disable the GPS transceiver based at least in part on an amount of remaining power of a battery in the device;
disable the GPS transceiver responsive to a determination to disable the GPS transceiver; and
track travel progress along the route based at least in part on input from the motion sensor at least until one or more of a threshold time before conclusion of a first amount of time that is to pass before an instruction to travel to the location is to be provided, and a threshold position before an end point of a first distance that is to be traveled before the instruction is to be provided.

Abstract
In one aspect, a device includes a processor, a motion sensor accessible to the processor, a global positioning system (GPS) transceiver accessible to the processor, and storage accessible to the processor. The storage bears instructions executable by the processor to identify at least a first instruction to travel to a location, and determine whether to disable the GPS transceiver based at least in part on one or more of a distance to be traveled before a second instruction is provided and a length of time to pass before the second instruction is provided. The instructions are also executable by the processor to monitor motion of the device based on input from the motion sensor responsive to disabling the GPS receiver.

16. A method, comprising:
-
identifying, using a device, at least a first instruction to travel to a location; and determining whether to disable a global positioning system (GPS) transceiver on the device based at least in part on an amount of remaining power of a battery in the device and based at least in part on one or more of a distance to be traveled before a second instruction is provided and a length of time to pass before the second instruction is provided; and disabling the GPS transceiver responsive to determining to disable the GPS transceiver. - View Dependent Claims (20)

17. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a first processor; a network adapter; and storage bearing instructions executable by a second processor of a device for; providing a first direction to a location; determining whether to disable a global positioning system (GPS) receiver on the device based at least in part on an amount of remaining power of a battery coupled to the device; disabling, responsive to determining to disable the GPS receiver, the receiver subsequent to providing the first direction; and responsive to disabling the GPS receiver, monitoring motion of the device based on input from a motion sensor on the device; wherein the first processor transfers the instructions over a network via the network adapter. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
