Abstract: A method for configuring a mobile computer based on location. The method including determining a change in location of the mobile computer, scoring a current location signature for the mobile computer against previously stored location profiles having location signatures to obtain a highest scoring location profile, and determining whether the highest scoring location profile exceeds a threshold. If the highest scoring location profile exceeds the threshold, then the computer settings for the highest scoring location profile are activated on the mobile computer. If the highest scoring location profile does not exceed the threshold, a new location profile is generated and stored for the current location signature. The new location profile is then activated on the mobile computer.

Abstract: Approaches for providing location information in conjunction with a web site and/or web page include, for one aspect, automatically providing location information indicating a location of a computing system in response to receiving a web page. For another aspect, location information may be embedded in a web site or web page and provided to a client computing system that may include, for example, a location-enhanced browser.
