  • Patent number: 9726498
    Abstract: A processing apparatus including one or more processors and memory obtains one or more sensor measurements generated by one or more monitoring sensors of one or more devices, including one or more monitoring sensor measurements from a respective monitoring sensor of a respective device and obtains one or more system signals including a respective system signal corresponding to current operation of the respective device. The processing apparatus determines device context information for the respective device based on the one or more sensor measurements and the one or more system signals and adjusts operation of the device in accordance with the device context information.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20150247729
    Abstract: A processing apparatus determines an estimated direction of motion of an entity physically associated with a device having a plurality of sensors for generating an estimate of a navigational state of the device. The estimated direction of motion is based at least in part on a device-to-frame orientation corresponding to an orientation of the device relative to a predefined inertial frame of reference, and an estimated device-to-entity orientation corresponding to an orientation of the device relative to a direction of motion of the entity. In response to detecting a change in the device-to-frame orientation, the processing apparatus divides the change in the device-to-frame orientation between a change in the estimated direction of motion of the entity and a change in the estimated device-to-entity orientation, and updates the estimated direction of motion of the entity based on the division of the change in the device-to-frame orientation.

  • Publication number: 20150012248
    Abstract: A processing apparatus including one or more processors and memory receives sensor measurements generated by one or more sensors of one or more devices, pre-classifies the sensor measurements as belonging to one of a plurality of pre-classifications, and selects one or more feature types to extract from the sensor measurements based at least in part on the pre-classification of the sensor measurements. The processing apparatus also extracts features of the one or more selected feature types from the sensor measurements and determines a state of a respective device of the one or more devices in accordance with a classification of the sensor measurements determined based on the one or more features extracted from the sensor measurements.
