Operating state position sensing system controlling a mobile device

Discloses a method for controlling a mobile device position sensing system, the systems and devices. A method comprising collecting information relating to the location of the mobile device. The method further comprises based on the collected location related information can be provided to the mobile device control to operate in a high power state, one of a low power state or transient state, wherein the satellite-based positioning system receiver in the mobile device transition state and generating location information in the open state, and does not generate location information in a low power state based on a satellite positioning system receiver. When operating in the transient state, the position of the mobile device to repeatedly check the collected information related to the position based on the collected information related to transitions to the low power state or a high power state.
