In accordance with embodiments disclosed herein, there are provided systems, apparatuses, and methods for saving GPS power by detecting indoor use. For example, in one embodiment, such means may include means for receiving a first reading of light within a visible spectrum of electromagnetic radiation; means for receiving a second reading of light within an infrared spectrum of electromagnetic radiation; means for selecting an indoor environmental state when (a) the first reading of light within the visible spectrum of electromagnetic radiation is above a first threshold and (b) the second reading of light within the infrared spectrum of electromagnetic radiation is below a second threshold; and means for transitioning a Global Positioning System (GPS) sensor to a power savings mode based on the indoor environmental state being selected. For instance, such a technique may determine the GPS sensor is inside based on relatively low infrared readings and relatively high visible spectra readings, and responsively transition the GPS sensor into a more power efficient mode. |
