System and method for automatically detecting and initiating a walk

An apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a storage medium for tangibly storing thereon program logic for execution by the processor, the stored program logic comprising at least one of:
• logic, executed by the processor, for detecting that a wearable device is in a walk mode in response to determining that the wearable device has exited a geo-fence zone,
• logic, executed by the processor, for detecting that the wearable device is in the walk mode in response to determining that the wearable device is not connected to a wireless network, or
• logic, executed by the processor, for detecting that the wearable device is in the walk mode in response to determining that past walk environment details are similar to current environment details by
• comparing the current environment details associated with the wearable device to the past walk environment details associated with the wearable device to identify at least one similarity between the current environment details and the past walk environment details, and
• using a predictive function on the at least one similarity, the predictive function refined using one or more previous responses to a walk mode prompt;
• wherein the stored program logic further comprises logic, executed by the processor, for transmitting a recorded GPS location of the wearable device while the wearable device is in the walk mode.
