Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2020106499A1] Aspects of the technology described herein provide improved battery life for a user device based on the use of an inferred location of the user that obviates the need for conventional location services like GPS. In particular, an inferred location for a user may be determined, including contextual information about the user location. Using information from the user's current context, with historical observations about the user and expected user events, out-of-routine events, or other lasting or ephemeral information, an inference of one or more user locations and corresponding confidences may be determined. The inferred user location may be provided to an application or service such as a personal assistant service associated with the user, or may be provided as an API to facilitate consumption of the inferred location information by an application or service.
