Abstract
It is inter-alia disclosed a method performed by an apparatus, said method comprising: determining a representative of a size of a geofence based on one or more parameters, wherein at least one parameter of the one or more parameters is indicative of a location update interval associated with a mobile device.
Claims18
A method performed by an apparatus, said method comprising:
- determining a representative of a size of a geofence based on one or more parameters,
- wherein
- at least one parameter of the one or more parameters is indicative of a location update interval associated with a mobile device and
- at least one other parameter of the one or more parameters is indicative of a speed of the mobile device,
- wherein said determining a representative of a size is based on a function,
- wherein
- the location update interval indicated by the at least one parameter is an input to the function and
- the speed of the mobile device indicated by the at least one other parameter is an input to the function,
- wherein the size of the geofence is an output of the function, and
- wherein, at least in a predefined range:
- the function is configured to increase with respect to the location update interval increasing if the speed is kept constant, and
- the function is configured to increase with respect to the speed increasing if the location updated interval is kept constant.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium in which computer program code is stored, the computer program code when executed by a processor causing at least one apparatus to:
- determine a representative of a size of a geofence based on one or more parameters,
- wherein
- at least one parameter of the one or more parameters is indicative of a location update interval associated with a mobile device and
- at least one other parameter of the one or more parameters is indicative of a speed of the mobile device,
- wherein said determining a representative of a size is based on a function,
- wherein
- the location update interval indicated by the at least one parameter is an input to the function and
- the speed of the mobile device indicated by the at least one other parameter is an input to the function,
- wherein the size of the geofence is an output of the function, and
- wherein, at least in a predefined range:
- the function is configured to increase with respect to the location update interval increasing if the speed is kept constant, and
- the function is configured to increase with respect to the speed increasing if the location updated interval is kept constant.
An apparatus, said apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause said apparatus at least to:
- determine a representative of a size of a geofence based on one or more parameters,
- wherein
- at least one parameter of the one or more parameters is indicative of a location update interval associated with a mobile device and
- at least one other parameter of the one or more parameters is indicative of a speed of the mobile device,
- wherein said determining a representative of a size is based on a function,
- wherein
- the location update interval indicated by the at least one parameter is an input to the function and
- the speed of the mobile device indicated by the at least one other parameter is an input to the function,
- wherein the size of the geofence is an output of the function, and wherein, at least in a predefined range:
- the function is configured to increase with respect to the location update interval increasing if the speed is kept constant, and
- the function is configured to increase with respect to the speed increasing if the location updated interval is kept constant.
