  • Patent number: 10726370
    Abstract: A method, in a computing device, of automatic contextual task presentation, includes: storing, in a memory of the computing device, a sequence of task instructions for presentation to an operator of the computing device via an output assembly connected to the mobile computing device; detecting, via an input assembly of the computing device, a task initiation event; responsive to detecting the task initiation event: controlling the output assembly to present a first task instruction from the sequence to the operator; obtaining orientation data corresponding to the operator from an inertial measurement unit associated with the computing device; based on the orientation data, tracking an accumulated operator orientation change since the detection of the task initiation event; and when the accumulated operator orientation change exceeds a threshold, controlling the output assembly to present a second task instruction from the sequence to the operator.
