Google patent suggests location-based actions in Android's future

Google has filed a patent that could raise Android's IQ by incorporating “smart” actions based on location. The concept is similar to Motorola's aptly named Smart Actions, though the initial patent application date of September 2011 seems to indicate the two concepts are separate entities. Google's idea is to use GPS and network information to determine a users location and trigger device profiles that will push relevant apps, alerts, and settings.
