  • Detection of user activities by a portable device
    Patent number: 9870069
    Abstract: A portable consumer device, such as a mobile phone or a tablet computer, may be configured to collect measurements data associated with at least one of movement of the portable consumer device or orientation of the portable consumer device, as well as data associated with an external environment of the portable consumer device. The collected data may be evaluated in order to determine motion of the portable consumer device over time and contextual information associated with the portable consumer device. A user activity may be determined based upon the determined motion and the determined contextual information. As desired, the user activity may be evaluated in association with a suitable application scenario, such as a gaming application scenario.

  • DEVICE BROKER WITH DYNAMIC CONNECTIVITY DETERMINATION
    Publication number: 20140089481
    Abstract: Generally, this disclosure provides methods, systems and devices for dynamic determination of connectivity to a device, for example device brokering, based on a context state of the device. The method may include maintaining a user policy database configured to store connectivity rules, the connectivity rules associated with the user and one or more of the user devices; logging registration data received from the user device, the registration data indicating a context state associated with the user device; receiving a request from a remote party to connect to the user; and selecting one or more of the user devices for the connection to the remote party, the selection based on the context state and the user policy connectivity rules.
