Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The subject matter disclosed herein relates to classifying user activity in mobile devices. Background technique
[0002] Many mobile communication devices, such as smartphones, contain inertial sensors, such as accelerometers, that can be used to detect motion of the device. These movements can be used to determine the orientation of the device so that the display can be properly oriented, for example in portrait or landscape mode, when displaying information to the user. In another example, a gaming application executed by means of a smartphone may rely on movement detected by one or more accelerometers so that features of the game may be controlled. In other examples, gestural movement detected by the accelerometer may allow the user to scroll a map, navigate menus, or control other aspects of the operation of the device.
[0003] While it can be used to assist simple user interface tasks, it has not been possible to provide more complex and meani...
