METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROLONGING BATTERY LIFE IN A MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE USING MOTION DETECTION

摘要

A telecommunication device is equipped with circuitry that can detect phenomena indicative or predictive of motion of the telecommunications device, such as GPS circuitry. When the circuitry determines that the telecommunication device is stationary, it controls the device to perform neighboring cell polling at relatively large intervals or not at all. However, when the circuitry determines that the telecommunication device is moving, it controls the device to poll neighboring cells more frequently.
