Embodiment Construction

[0086] figure 1An example of a scenario in accordance with some embodiments of the invention is illustrated. In an example, the first device 101 and the second device 103 are used by the user in conjunction with user activity. One device may eg be a personal device such as a smartphone and the other device may eg be a function specific device such as a medical device or a personal hygiene device.

[0087] In this scenario, at least the second device 103 is a mobile device that is movable by the user, ie it can be moved by the user. It may for example be a smartphone or a smart watch. In many embodiments, the first device 101 may be a stationary device such as, for example, a payment terminal or a stationary medicine cabinet / dispenser. In other embodiments, the first device 10 may also be user-removable and may eg be a toothbrush or another smartphone.

[0088] In this scenario, the user is expected to perform a specific action and an apparatus including a function for dete...

Abstract

An apparatus for validating a user behavior comprises a proximity detector (201) for detecting a proximity of a first device (101) to a second device (103), e.g. in response to the establishment of a short range communication, such as an NFC communication. A receiver (203) receives motion data from a motion detector with the motion data being indicative of a motion of the second device (103). An evaluator (209) evaluates whether the motion data meets a motion criterion or not. Finally, a designator (211) designates the user behavior as valid only if the motion data meets the motion criterion and the proximity of the first device to the second device is subsequently detected. Otherwise the user behavior may be designated as not valid. A processor (213) e.g. being part of one of the devices (101, 103) may perform differently dependent on whether the user behavior is designated as valid or not, e.g. different user notifications and feedback may be provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the verification of user behavior, and particularly but not exclusively to the evaluation of user behavior by personal electronic devices such as personal smartphones. Background technique [0002] Electronic devices are increasingly becoming a part of everyday life and are taking over or assisting many functions and activities that were previously handled manually by individuals. For example, mobile phones are increasingly becoming personal computing and communication devices that assist users in many different everyday functions. For example, a smartphone may not only be used to provide communication, but may also be used by users to schedule, plan, and manage various activities. [0003] In many scenarios, a personal device such as a smartphone can be used to retrieve, record and present various data from other devices that can be used by the individual. For example, an electric toothbrush may include features for ...
