Abstract: The present invention is notably directed to computerized method for detecting parking-related events from a mobile device. The latter comprising a pressure sensor and a peak detection module. The method comprises: monitoring pressure sensor data from the pressure sensor, the pressure sensor data representative of a pressure variation over a period of time; and comparing the monitored pressure sensor data with reference pressure data corresponding to pressure variations over time as occurring inside a vehicle when, on the one hand, opening a door and, on the other hand, closing a door of this vehicle, to detect a corresponding pressure variation in the monitored pressure sensor data, in order to determine whether a vehicle has parked or has started, wherein the steps of monitoring and comparing are performed by the peak detection module, in the vehicle. The present invention is further directed to related devices and computer program products.

Abstract: Electronic device (10) comprising a housing (11) with a fluid-filled cavity (12), the cavity (12) being coupled to the housing (11) such that a pressure in said cavity (12) changes upon application of an external force onto the housing (12). A pressure sensor (13) is arranged for sensing inside said cavity (12) said pressure change and for generating a pressure signal indicative of said pressure change. The device (10) further comprises an evaluation unit (14) for deriving from said pressure signal at least one component of said external force and for generating a force signal that is indicative of said at least one component of said external force and/or for deriving from said pressure signal a deformation of the housing (11) in at least one direction and to generate a force signal that is indicative of said deformation of the housing (11) in at least one direction.
