1. A method performed by an electronic device comprising a sensor system, said method comprising:
evaluating sensor data from the sensor system for detection of a first condition that indicates that a specific mode of transport of the electronic device has begun;
switching the electronic device from a first state to a second state upon detection of the first condition;
obtaining a predicted time of arrival at a destination;
setting a selected time point in relation to the predicted time of arrival based on a priority between reducing power consumption of the electronic device while in the second state and a time delay between an actual arrival of the electronic device at the destination and a detection of the electronic device at the destination;
performing a status check at the selected time point; and
switching the electronic device from the second state to the first state upon detection of the arrival of the electronic device at the destination.
