US 11,963,105 B2 · Wearable device location systems architecture

Abstract

Systems, methods, devices, computer readable media, and other various embodiments are described for location management processes in wearable electronic devices. Performance of such devices is improved with reduced time to first fix of location operations in conjunction with low-power operations. In one embodiment, low-power circuitry manages high-speed circuitry and location circuitry to provide location assistance data from the high-speed circuitry to the low-power circuitry automatically on initiation of location fix operations as the high-speed circuitry and location circuitry are booted from low-power states. In some embodiments, the high-speed circuitry is returned to a low-power state prior to completion of a location fix and after capture of content associated with initiation of the location fix. In some embodiments, high-speed circuitry is booted after completion of a location fix to update location data associated with content.

Dependent claims

A mobile device comprising:

a processor;
and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the mobile device to perform operations comprising:
receiving, at an apparatus of the mobile device, via a first wireless connection, location support data;
storing the location support data in a memory of the mobile device;
in response to initiation of a location operation, transitioning, a location circuit of the apparatus from a lower-power state to a higher-power acquiring state;
and
generating, using the location circuit in the higher-power acquiring state, location state data, wherein the location circuit uses signals from a second wireless connection, the location support data, and information from a real-time clock.
