Abstract: In an aspect, a method of preventing tampering of a mobile device lock, wherein the method comprises: a client application executed in a mobile device monitoring the reception of presence messages transmitted, e.g. broadcast, by a user-detecting device in the vehicle, the user-detecting device comprising a radio interface configured to wirelessly transmit presence messages when the vehicle is moving, preferably the presence message comprising an identification code, preferably a MAC address, of the user detecting device. The client application repeatedly, for example periodically or regularly, wirelessly transmitting notification messages to a server in a network, the notification messages signaling the server that the client application is being executed on the mobile device. The client application determines if the user is inside the vehicle; monitors the velocity of the vehicle and locks the mobile device; and monitors user interaction with the mobile device.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method is provided for calculating, by an activity monitor comprising one accelerometer, a raw activity energy expenditure data based on movement by a user. The method includes determining if the raw activity energy expenditure data is associated with a high intensity physical activity, wherein the high intensity physical activity causes the raw activity energy expenditure data to differ from an expected activity energy expenditure data. The method includes calculating a corrected activity energy expenditure data, if the raw activity energy expenditure data is associated with the high intensity physical activity, based on the raw activity energy expenditure data, wherein the corrected activity energy expenditure data is substantially identical to the expected activity energy expenditure data.
