A device comprising a motion context logic that receives data from at least one motion sensor is described. The motion context logic determines a user's motion context. Context based action logic manages the device based on the user's motion context.
대표청구항▼
1. A motion aware mobile device comprising: a processor;a motion context logic implemented in the processor to determine a motion context of the device, the motion context automatically identifying absent user input a geographic location of the device, a type of user activity, a user's environment,
1. A motion aware mobile device comprising: a processor;a motion context logic implemented in the processor to determine a motion context of the device, the motion context automatically identifying absent user input a geographic location of the device, a type of user activity, a user's environment, and a relative location of the device with respect to the user's body based in part on data from a motion sensor, the relative location indicating that the device is in an in-use location on the user's body based on the data from the motion sensor or a not-in-use location based on an orientation of the device, wherein the type of user activity identified in the motion context includes distinguishing types of user activities selected from among: standing, sitting, walking, jogging;a context-based action logic to automatically manage the device based on the motion context via a context-based action logic engine; anda gesture command logic to identify a motion command and to automatically determine an appropriate action based on the context-based action logic engine, the identification automatically tightened or loosened to change a definition of a gesture command based on the motion context of the device. 2. The device of claim 1, further comprising: a gesture command logic automatically to identify a motion command and to determine an appropriate action, the appropriate action defined by the motion context and application context of the device, the identification tightened or loosened based on the motion context of the device. 3. The device of claim 1, wherein the context-based action logic engine further comprises: a sound adjust logic to automatically adjust an input and/or an output sound level based on the motion context of the device. 4. The device of claim 1, further comprising: a power management system to place portions of the device into a suspended state, when the device is not being actively used, the state of not being actively used determined based on the motion context. 5. The device of claim 4, wherein the portion of the device placed into the suspended state comprises a high-powered processor, while maintaining a low-powered processor to manage the device. 6. The device of claim 4, further comprising, the power management system placing at least one sensor coupled to the device into a power saving mode. 7. The device of claim 4, wherein when the device is immobile for a period, the suspended state includes having only the motion data monitored to detect removal from inactive status. 8. A motion-state aware device comprising: a low power processor (LPP) to monitor a sensor, the LPP including:a motion context logic to determine a motion context of the device, the motion context identifying a type of user activity, a motion location context of the device automatically determined from a location of the device and the type of user activity at the location, a user's environment, and a relative location of the device with respect to the user's body;a context-based action logic to automatically manage the device based in the motion context via a context-based action logic engine;a gesture command logic to automatically identify a motion command and to automatically determine an appropriate action based on the context-based action logic, identification tightened or loosened to change a definition of a gesture command based on the motion context of the device; and,a power management system to wake up portions of the motion-state aware device when the motion context indicates a need for the portions. 9. The device of claim 8, further comprising: a high power processor to provide processing capability, the high power processor turned on and off by the LPP based on the motion context. 10. The device of claim 8, wherein the motion command is configured by a user of the device. 11. The device of claim 10, further comprising: a call management system to detect a received call; andthe power management system to wake up portions of the device to enable the device to ring and the received call to be picked up. 12. The device of claim 9, wherein the low power processor automatically wakes up the high power processor when the motion context of the device indicates the device is in a worn location. 13. The device of claim 8, further comprising: a gesture command logic to automatically identify a motion command and to determine an appropriate action, the appropriate action defined by the motion context and application context of the device. 14. The device of claim 8, further comprising: a sound adjust logic to adjust an input and/or an output sound level based on the motion context of the device. 15. The device of claim 9, further comprising: a power management system to place the high power processor into a suspended state, when the device is not being actively used, the state of not being actively used determined based on the motion context. 16. The device of claim 15, further comprising, the power management system placing at least one sensor into a power saving mode. 17. The device of claim 15, wherein when the device is immobile for a period, the suspended state includes having only the motion data monitored to detect removal from inactive status. 18. The device of claim 8, further comprising the LPP including: a call management system to detect a received call; anda power management system to wake up portions of the device to enable the device to ring and the received call to be picked up. 19. A method for adjusting settings of a motion aware device, the method comprising: determining a motion context of a motion aware device based on a type of user activity, a motion location context of the user automatically determined absent user input based on a user's location and the type of user activity at the location, a user's environment, and a relative location of the device with respect to the user's body, the relative location indicating that the device is in an in-use location on the user's body based on motion characteristics of the device or a not-in-use location based on an orientation of the device; andautomatically managing the motion aware device based on the motion context by automatically tightening or loosening gesture recognition based on the motion context of the device. 20. The method of claim 19, further comprising: determining that the device is not in use based on the motion context; andplacing a portion of the motion aware device in a low power mode. 21. The method claim 20, wherein the portion is one or more of: a low power processor, a high power process, and a sensor.
