Embodiment Construction

[0016] While the invention has been described in a preferred embodiment, various changes may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as described in the appended claims.

[0017] I. Wireless communication via different communication networks

[0018] WCDs can send and receive information over a wide range of wireless communication networks, each of which has different characteristics in terms of speed, range, quality (error correction), security (encoding), and the like. These characteristics will indicate the amount of information that can be transmitted to the receiving device, as well as the duration of the information transmission. figure 1 Includes diagrams of the WCD and how it interacts with various types of wireless networks.

[0019] exist figure 1 In the example depicted, user 110 owns WCD 100 . The device can be anything from a basic cellular handset to a more complex device such as a wireless enabled palmtop or laptop compute...

Abstract

A system for automatically controlling the scanning frequency of a radio based positioning application in a wireless communication device (WCD) based on the connection point information of the WCD. The connection point information may be utilized to identify if the WCD is near a positioning-enabled environment. Scanning may be activated, or the scanning frequency may be increased, when the WCD is in an environment that is served by certain connection points (e.g., connection points located in a city). On the other hand, when the WCD is in an environment that is not served by certain connection points (e.g., a rural area), scanning may be stopped or the scanning frequency may be reduced to conserve power in the mobile device.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the control of applications in wireless communication devices, and more particularly to adjusting the scanning frequency of radio-based positioning applications based on current point of attachment or cell ID information. Background technique [0002] While wireless communication devices (WCDs) may have been considered luxuries by most when they were first introduced to the market, they are now viewed by our society as very important, useful and convenient tools. A large proportion of people in today's society carry their wireless communication devices with them wherever they go. These devices include, for example, mobile phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), laptop / notebook computers, and the like. The proliferation of these devices and the ability to communicate wirelessly has led to many new wireless systems, devices, protocols, and the like. Consumer demand for advanced wireless features and capabilities has...
