Managing use of location-identification services

摘要

In general, the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods, systems, and program products for identifying a location of a mobile computing device. A first location estimate of a mobile computing device and an accuracy of the first location estimate is determined at a mobile computing device based on wireless signals received from one or more beacons. A time period based on the accuracy of the first location estimate is determined. One or more subsequent location estimates of the mobile computing device and respective accuracies are determined. The determination of the subsequent location estimates is stopped at an end of the time period. A preferred location estimate from the determined location estimates is determined at the mobile computing device.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method for providing weather information on a mobile computing device, the method comprising:
determining, at the mobile computing device and based on wireless signals received from one or more beacons, a preferred location estimate of a user of the mobile computing device; determining, whether the user is on vacation based on a comparison of the preferred location estimate to one or more favorite locations of the user; displaying, on the mobile computing device, an extended weather forecast at the preferred location estimate if the user is on vacation; and displaying, on the mobile computing device, the current weather if the user is not on vacation.
