the pass information is indicative of:
at least one pass time of the following different pass times for the pass:
a redemption time associated with the redemption of the pass that is no later than a current time;
an event start time associated with the start of the pass event that is no later than the current time; and
an event end time associated with the end of the pass event that is no earlier than the current time; and
an event type for the pass event, wherein the event type for the pass event comprises at least one of a stationary event type and an in motion event type; and
determining a current movement state of the electronic device at the current time based on the event type for the pass event and the at least one pass time indicated by the pass information of the accessed pass data, wherein the determined current movement state comprises one of a stationary state of the electronic device and an in motion state of the electronic device.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising accessing calendar data from a calendar application of the electronic device, wherein the accessed calendar data comprises calendar information descriptive of a calendar event scheduled for a time that is concurrent with the determining, and wherein the determining comprises determining the movement state of the electronic device based on the event type for the pass event and the at least one pass time and the accessed calendar data.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein:
the determining comprises detecting that the calendar information is descriptive of an event type for the calendar event; and
the event type for the calendar event comprises at least one of a sedentary event type and an active event type.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one pass time is associated with a time that is concurrent with the determining.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one pass time comprises each one of:
the redemption time;
the event start time; and
the event end time.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one pass time comprises at least two of:
the redemption time;
the event start time; and
the event end time.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one pass time comprises the redemption time.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the at least one pass time further comprises at least one of the event start time and the event end time.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one pass time comprises the event start time and the event end time.
10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising applying at least one movement-based mode of operation to the electronic device based on the determined movement state.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one pass time comprises the event start time.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pass event is one of a movie, a stage production, and a sporting event.
13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pass event is a travel itinerary.
14. A method for operating an electronic device comprising:
accessing motion sensor data from a motion-sensing component of the electronic device;
accessing pass data from a pass application of the electronic device; and
determining a current movement state of the electronic device at a current time based on the accessed motion sensor data and the accessed pass data, wherein:
the accessed pass data comprises pass information descriptive of a pass to a pass event; and
the determining comprises:
detecting that the pass information of the accessed pass data is descriptive of the following:
an event start time for the pass event that is no later than the current time;
an event end time for the pass event that is no earlier than the current time; and
an event type for the pass event; and
in response to the detecting, defining the current movement state of the electronic device to be:
a stationary state of the electronic device when the event type is indicative of a sedentary type of event; and
an in motion state of the electronic device when the event type is indicative of an active type of event.
15. The method of claim 14 , wherein:
the pass is a ticket to the pass event; and
the pass event is one of a movie, stage production, sporting event, tour event, and travel itinerary.
16. The method of claim 14 , wherein one of the event start time and the event end time is concurrent with the determining.
17. The method of claim 14 , wherein the detecting further comprises detecting that the pass information is descriptive of a pass redemption time for the pass event that is no later than the current time.
18. The method of claim 14 , further comprising applying at least one movement based mode of operation to the electronic device based on the determined current movement state.
19. The method of claim 14 , further comprising accessing calendar data from a calendar application of the electronic device, wherein the determining comprises determining the movement state of the electronic device based on the accessed motion sensor data, the accessed calendar data, and the accessed pass data.
20. The method of claim 19 , wherein the accessed calendar data comprises calendar information descriptive of a calendar event scheduled for a time that is concurrent with the determining.
21. The method of claim 14 , wherein:
the method further comprises determining a future movement state of the electronic device based on the accessed pass data.
22. The method of claim 14 , wherein the determining the current movement state of the electronic device comprises determining that the electronic device is one of currently moving and currently stationary.
23. An electronic device comprising:
a motion-sensing component; and
a processor configured to:
access motion sensor data from the motion-sensing component;
access pass data from a pass application; and
determine a current movement state of the electronic device, wherein:
the accessed pass data comprises pass information relating to the following:
a pass associated with entry to an event;
a time frame associated with the event that comprises a time that is concurrent with the processor determining the movement state; and
an indication of a type of movement associated with the event;
the type of movement comprises one of stationary and in motion;
the processor is configured to determine the current movement state of the electronic device based on the accessed motion sensor data and the indication of the type of movement of the pass information of the accessed pass data;
