METHOD AND APPARATUS TO SWITCH BETWEEN NETWORK-BASED AND MOBILE-BASED POSITIONING MODES

摘要

Systems, methods and apparatus for using positioning modes including mobile-based and network-based positioning modes are presented. The mobile device comprises a transceiver configured to receive an individualized command from a server instructing the mobile device to switch from the first positioning mode to the second positioning mode. The individualized command is based on at least one of: (1) a determined accuracy of the mobile device; (2) a state of a resource; (3) a comparison between a network load and a threshold; (4) a geo-fence; or (5) a combination thereof. The mobile device also comprises a processor coupled to the transceiver, wherein the processor is configured to: operate in the first positioning mode before receiving the individualized command; switch from the first positioning mode to the second positioning mode based on the individualized command from the server; and operate in the second positioning mode after receiving the individualized command.

1. A mobile device comprising:
a transceiver configured to receive an individualized command from a server to switch from a first positioning mode to a second positioning mode, wherein the first positioning mode is different from the second positioning mode; and a processor coupled to the transceiver, wherein the processor is configured to:
operate in the first positioning mode before receiving the individualized command;switch from the first positioning mode to the second positioning mode based on the individualized command from the server, wherein the individualized command is based on at least one of:
a determined accuracy of the mobile device;a state of a resource;a comparison between a network load and a threshold;a geo-fence; ora combination thereof; andoperate in the second positioning mode after receiving the individualized command.
