Abstract
A mobile device may be managed based on information about a geographic movement of the mobile device. The geographic movement may take into account a location, a speed, and an acceleration for the mobile device. A movement profile is determined based on the geographic movement. A settings profile is determined based on the movement profile and a profile mapping. Based on the settings profile, resource consumption for the mobile device may be managed by adjusting settings for the device accordingly.

1-22. (canceled)
An apparatus of a wireless device, the wireless device including a Wi-Fi interface and a cellular interface, the apparatus comprising:
- memory;
- and processing circuitry, configured to:
- monitor movement of the wireless device based on signals from one or more accelerometers;
- determine if the monitored movement is associated with driving;
- disable the Wi-Fi interface if the monitored movement is associated with driving;
- re-enable the Wi-Fi interface if the monitored movement associated with driving is no longer determined;
- inhibit the Wi-Fi interface from being re-enabled, by other processes operating on the wireless device, while the monitored movement is associated with driving;
- and
- attempt to maintain cellular network connectivity with the cellular interface if the Wi-Fi interface is disabled.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores instructions for execution by processing circuitry of a wireless device to configure the device to perform operations to:
- monitor movement of the wireless device based on signals from one or more motion sensors;
- determine if the monitored movement is associated with driving;
- disable the Wi-Fi interface when the monitored movement is associated with driving;
- re-enable the Wi-Fi interface when the monitored movement associated with driving is no longer detected;
- and
- inhibit the Wi-Fi interface from being re-enabled, by other processes operating on the wireless device while the monitored movement is associated with driving.
An apparatus of a wireless device, the wireless device including a Wi-Fi interface and a cellular interface, the apparatus comprising:
- memory;
- and processing circuitry, configured to:
- receive input to enable a movement profile;
- and
- when the movement profile is enabled:
- monitor activity of the wireless device based on signals from one or more accelerometers;
- determine if the monitored activity is associated with driving or walking;
- disable the Wi-Fi interface when the activity is associated with driving;
- re-enable the Wi-Fi interface when the activity associated with driving is no longer detected;
- inhibit the Wi-Fi interface from being re-enabled, by other processes operating on the wireless device while the monitored activity is associated with driving;
- refrain from disablement of the Wi-Fi interface when the activity is associated with walking;
- and
- configure the device to maintain cellular network connectivity with the cellular interface when the Wi-Fi interface is disabled.
