  • Physical activity-based device control
    Patent number: 8923994
    Abstract: A method for controlling the configuration, such as access and/or one or more other features, of an application in an electronic device from the standpoint of a particular user, comprising obtaining an indication of the identity of the user determined based on sensor data associated with physical activity by the user, obtaining an indication of the physical activity identified based on the sensor data, and modifying or at least providing information enabling to modify the identified user's configuration of an application logic based on the identified activity and optionally other activity information derived utilizing the sensor data. Related mobile device, electronic arrangement and system are presented.

  • Modification of a user specific configuration of a remote on-line service application in accordance with accumulated physical activity data of the user
    Publication number: 20080126013
    Abstract: The invention allows modifying a user's configuration of a remote on-line service application in accordance with accumulated physical activity data of the user. User's physical activity sensor data is accumulated in a mobile device from a physical activity sensor. In response to a predetermined event, physical activity information based on the accumulated physical activity sensor data is transferred from the mobile device to a networked computing device. The user's configuration of a remote on-line service application is then modified based on the transferred physical activity information.
