Systems and Methods for Managing Operating Modes of an Electronic Device

摘要

Embodiments are provided for distinguishing certain transportation modes for an electronic device based on connection signal data. According to certain aspects, the electronic device may determine (458) that it is being transported by a vehicle. The electronic device searches or detects (460) nearby WLAN and/or WPAN signals and identifies (464), based on the detected signals, how many devices are nearby the electronic device. The electronic device compares (468) the number of nearby devices to a threshold amount and, based on the comparison, either initiates (472) a public transportation mode or initiates (470) a driving mode.

主权项

1. A method for configuring operating modes of an electronic device, the method comprising:
determining, based on movement data of the electronic device, that the electronic device is being transported by a vehicle; detecting at least one of (i) wireless personal area network (WPAN) connection signal data of at least one nearby electronic device and (ii) wireless local area network (WLAN) connection signal data of the at least one nearby electronic device; analyzing, by a processor, the at least one of the WPAN connection signal data and the WLAN connection signal data; and responsive to the determining and analyzing, initiating a public transportation operating mode for the electronic device.
