Abstract
A method for recording a geographical location from a docked mobile communication device that includes detecting a mobile communication device communicatively coupled to a docking device; and detecting that the mobile communication device is communicatively uncoupled from the docking device. Afterwards, the geographical location of the mobile communication device is recorded and stored in memory upon detecting that the mobile communication device has communicatively uncoupled from the docking device.
Claims17
A method for recording a geographical location from a docked mobile communication device, comprising the steps of:
- detecting a mobile communication device communicatively coupled to a docking device;
- detecting that the mobile communication device is communicatively uncoupled from the docking device;
- and
- recording the geographical location of the mobile communication device in stored memory upon detecting that the mobile communication device has communicatively uncoupled from the docking device.
A method for recording a plurality of geographical locations from a docked mobile communication device, comprising the steps of:
- detecting a mobile communication device communicatively coupled to a docking device;
- detecting that the mobile communication device is communicatively uncoupled to the docking device;
- recording a first geographical location of the mobile communication device in stored memory;
- at a second geographical location:
- detecting a mobile communication device communicatively coupled once again to a docking device;
- detecting that the mobile communication device is once again communicatively uncoupled to the docking device;
- recording a second geographical location of the mobile communication device in stored memory;
- and
- determining whether to retain the first geographical location when a second geographical location has been stored in memory.
A system of a geographical location finder on a mobile communication device, comprising:
- a communication module;
- a control module, communicatively coupled to the communication module, and further comprising a processor programmed to:
- detect the mobile communication device has communicatively coupled to a docking device;
- and
- detect that the mobile communication device has communicatively uncoupled from the docking device;
- a data module, communicatively coupled to the control module, and enabled to record the geographical location of the mobile communication device in stored memory upon detection that the mobile communication device has communicatively uncoupled from the docking device;
- and
- a user interface module communicatively coupled to the control module;
- wherein the user interface module provides a notification of the recorded geographical location to a display on the mobile communication.
A non-transitory machine readable storage, having stored thereon a computer program having a plurality of code sections comprising:
- code for detecting a mobile communication device communicatively coupled to a docking device;
- code for detecting that the mobile communication device is communicatively uncoupled from the docking device;
- and
- code for recording the geographical location of the mobile communication device in stored memory upon detecting that the mobile communication device has communicatively uncoupled from the docking device.
A non-transitory machine readable storage, having stored thereon a computer program having a plurality of code sections comprising:
- code for detecting a mobile communication device communicatively coupled to a docking device;
- code for detecting that the mobile communication device is communicatively uncoupled to the docking device;
- code for recording a first geographical location of the mobile communication device in stored memory;
- at a second geographical location:
- code for detecting a mobile communication device communicatively coupled once again to a docking device;
- code for detecting that the mobile communication device is once again communicatively uncoupled to the docking device;
- code for recording a second geographical location of the mobile communication device in stored memory;
- and
- code for determining whether to retain the first geographical location when a second geographical location has been stored in memory.
