Method and device for activating and deactivating geopositioning devices in moving vehicles

摘要

A mobile user terminal (1) and method for activating/deactivating geopositioning devices (13) in moving vehicles, wherein the detection of the geopositioning device (13) located in a moving vehicle is based on data from low-energy consumption sensors (11) provided by the mobile user terminal (1). If the mobile user terminal (1) is located in the moving vehicle, at least one probe pattern related to a situation of the moving vehicle is identified and based on the identified probe pattern and data from low-energy consumption sensors (11), it is verified either that the situation corresponds to the mobile user terminal (1) riding in the moving vehicle (12), and then the geopositioning device (13) is activated (18), or that the mobile user terminal (1) is stopped in the moving vehicle (15), and then the geopositioning device (13) is deactivated (16). The steps of detecting and identifying the moving vehicle situation, performed by the mobile user terminal (1), use short-time and long-time probes.
