  • Event-based time zone changes
    Patent number: 11163267
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure describe automatically changing a time zone of a mobile device to a current time zone. The method detects a first event for a mobile device from a plurality of events. The plurality of events represents a possible time zone change from a first time zone. The method generates a time change value based on detection of the event. The method detects a subsequent event for the mobile device and modifies the time change value. The method determines the time change value exceeds a change threshold value and changes a time zone display of the mobile device from the first time zone to a second time zone based on at least one detected event for the mobile device.
