Abstract: Digital signal processing circuitry, in operation, determines, based on accelerometer data, a carry-position of a device. Double-tap detection parameters are set using the determined carry-position. Double-taps are detected using the set double-tap detection parameters. In response to detection of a double-tap, control signals, such as a flag or an interrupt signal, are generated and used to control operation of the device. For example, a device may enter a wake mode of operation in response to detection of a double-tap.
