Device and Method for Battery Life Management Using Global or Local Positioning System

摘要

A device includes a memory, a wireless transceiver and a positioning system. The memory stores a first area in which a wireless network lacks coverage. The wireless transceiver is adapted to communicate with the wireless network. The positioning system determines a position of the device to determine whether the device is located within the first area. The wireless transceiver does not attempt to communicate with the wireless network if the positioning system determines that the device is located within the first area.
