Embodiment Construction

[0011] This article discusses merging Geofence events. The location of the computing device is determined and the location of an area of ​​interest is identified, the area of ​​interest being a geographic area referred to as a Geofence. Multiple Geofences may be identified by a computing device, and different Geofences may be associated with different programs on the computing device. An operating system for a computing device implements a number of different operating cycles of the computing device, including a save cycle, during which certain programs are typically not scheduled to run, and an execute cycle, during which those programs typically is scheduled to run. The computing device's system identifies a Geofence event that occurs when the computing device enters or exits the Geofence. The system maintains a record of Geofence events for each of a plurality of Geofences, and provides programs with those Geofence events (e.g., recently entered and Exit Geofence Events ...

Abstract

A device location is determined, and the location of an area of interest that is a geographic area referred to as a geo-fence is identified. Multiple geo-fences can be identified by the device, and different geo-fences can be associated with different programs on the device. An operating system of the device implements multiple different periods of operation for the device, including a conservation period during which certain programs are not typically scheduled to run, and an execution period during which such programs are typically scheduled to run. A system identifies geo-fence events, which occur when the device enters or exits the geo-fence. The system maintains a record of the geo-fence events for each of multiple geo-fences, and provides to a program selected ones of those geo-fence events at a time when the program is scheduled to run on the device during an execution period of the operating system.

Description

Background technique [0001] As computing technology has advanced, increasingly powerful mobile devices have become available. For example, smart phones have become commonplace. The mobility of these devices has led to the development of different types of functionality, such as location-based functionality in which certain actions are taken by the device based on the location of the device. While this functionality has many benefits, it is not without its problems. One such problem is that a program may attempt to be notified of the device's location more often than the program expects to be notified. This can lead to circumvention of device controls regarding how often programs are expected to be run, which results in increased power usage and reduced battery life in the device, thus resulting in a poor user experience when using the device. Contents of the invention [0002] This Summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are furt...
