    Abstract: Intent-based reminders are provided. A user is enabled to initiate a reminder request based on an intent to enter or leave a given location. In a geofence training process, a plurality of geofences are created for plotting a path and subsequently tracking the user's traversal of the path for inferring the user's intent to depart or enter the location. A signal strength of a WLAN is recorded at each geofence. As the user traverses the path, a determination is made as to whether a predetermined percentage of the geofences is triggered in a sequential order by comparing the signal strength of the WLAN against the recorded WLAN signal strengths at the geofences. In some examples, signal strengths of neighboring WLANs are recorded and used to filter out false triggers. When a determination is made that the user's intent is to depart or enter the location, a reminder is provided.
