First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method executed on a mobile device, comprising:
- storing one or more geometric shapes using latitude and longitude coordinates, the one or more geometric shapes being associated with time zones;
determining a current location of the mobile device;
identifying a geometric shape from the one or more geometric shapes, the identified geometric shape including the current location of the mobile device; and
determining that the mobile device is located in the time zone associated with the identified geometric shape.

Abstract
Methods, program products, and systems of determining a time zone based on location is disclosed. In general, in one aspect, a mobile device can store one or more geometric shapes using latitude and longitude coordinates. The geometric shapes can be associated with time zones. The mobile device can determine a current location. The mobile device can identify a geometric shape in which the mobile device is currently is located. The mobile device can determine the time zone associated with the identified geometric shape.
