Abstract
Methods and mobile devices with electric vehicle transportation detection are provided. A representative method includes: determining whether GPS locations, based on GPS signals from the GPS receiver, are indicative of the mobile device moving; determining, based on a set of the magnetism signals from the magnetic sensor, whether the sensed magnetism corresponds to a predetermined magnetism threshold, if the GPS locations are not indicative of moving; and if the sensed magnetism corresponds to the predetermined magnetism threshold, setting a status of the mobile device to an in-moving-electric-vehicle status, and turning off the GPS receiver and the magnetic sensor.
