1. A method comprising:

  • at a mobile computing device comprising a processor and memory;

    receiving a user selection of an activity inference rule for inferring an activity of the user of the mobile computing device, the activity inference rule comprising at least one user selected predetermined transition movement criteria and at least one user selected predetermined action associated with the inferred activity of the mobile computing device;

    determining a chronological set of movement information based on movement information received from at least one of an accelerometer and a magnometer of the mobile computing device;

    determining a transition movement based on the chronological set of movement information;

    determining the transition movement meets the at least one user selected predetermined transition movement criteria of the activity inference rule; and

    in response to determining the transition movement meets the at least one user selected predetermined transition movement criteria of the activity inference rule;

    inferring an activity of the user of the mobile computing device based on the determined transition movement;

    determining a geographic location associated with the identified activity based on the determined transition movement; and

    applying the at least one user selected predetermined action of the activity inference rule.
