Abstract: According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus comprising at least one processing core, at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code being configured to, with the at least one processing core, cause the apparatus at least to determine a placement of the apparatus with respect to a user, determine a confidence level of the determination of the placement, and based at least in part on the placement and the confidence level, select either a classifier specific to the placement or a general classifier. Calibrated and/or uncalibrated sensor information may be used in phases of implementing the invention.

Abstract: Weather related data is collected using a magnetic sensor of a mobile device. The mobile device may be within a moving motor vehicle. The magnetic sensor may detect a magnetic field that is generated or otherwise affected by the operation of motor driving one or more windshield wipers. The mobile device, or a server in communication with the mobile device, may perform analysis of the windshield wiper data and generate weather message based on the analysis.

Abstract: In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, a method is disclosed. The method comprises: storing motion information comprising at least one motion feature in a memory; determining a triggering moment related to at least one motion feature; receiving motion sensor signals by a master device; detecting the triggering moment in the received motion sensor signals; and issuing, by the master device, a command to capture one or more images when the triggering moment has been detected.
