Abstract: An electronic device monitors accelerations using an inertial sensor. The electronic device identifies a current motion state based on the accelerations. The electronic device determines an application that subscribes to a motion state identification service and notifies the application of the current motion state.

Abstract: The method defines a user environment based on detected motion data and/or ambient noise data. The user environment is then used to apply an appropriate audio adjustment mode. In one embodiment, the user environment definition further includes location data. In one embodiment, the location data is obtained from one of: a global positioning system (GPS), and network triangulation.

Abstract: A method or apparatus to provide an improved headset. The headset includes at least one sensor. The headset further includes a configuration logic to configure the headset based on the position of the headset on the user's head.

Abstract: A method for monitoring human activity using an inertial sensor includes obtaining acceleration measurement data from an inertial sensor disposed in eyewear. The acceleration measurement data is processed to determine a user activity statistic. The user activity statistic includes at least one of a current user activity, periodic human motion count, total distance traveled, vertical distance traveled, current speed and average speed.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for receiving motion data and determining acceleration vectors based on biomechanical data and the received motion data. The method further comprises creating an improved image based on the acceleration vectors.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for utilizing acceleration data to identify an orientation of a mobile device. The orientation of the mobile device used to perform position-context dependent actions.

Abstract: A method of monitoring human activity includes monitoring accelerations using an inertial sensor disposed at one of a plurality of locations on a human body, wherein at least one of the plurality of locations is not a foot location. A plurality of steps are counted based on the accelerations. A gait characteristic of the plurality of steps is determined. The characteristic is used to determine a stride length. At least one of a distance traveled and a speed of travel are determined based on the stride length.

Abstract: One or more rolling averages of accelerations over a sample period are created. The one or more rolling averages of accelerations are measured by an accelerometer over the sample period. A gravitational influence is identified based upon the one or more rolling averages of accelerations. A dominant axis is assigned based upon the gravitational influence.

Abstract: A device includes an access control element to compare new acceleration data from an accelerometer with registered gait signature associated with an authorized user of a mobile device to determine the identity of the user of the mobile device.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for a plug-in apparatus to provide server-transmission from a sensor, monitor, or device (SMD), the plug-in apparatus comprising an interface to automatically receive data from the SMD, without interfering or affecting SMD functionality, and a transmitter to wirelessly transmit the data from the SMD to a remote server, the data from the SMD representing monitoring results.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to collect user location data over time, correlating user location data with outbreak data. The method and apparatus further comprising an alert mechanism to indicate to a user if there was a potential exposure.

Abstract: A method and device for monitoring processing in a multi-user computerized environment, such as a coding and compilation environment. An on-going process checks every predetermined time for new changes in the compiled code. When a change is found, the critical set of entities affected by the change is processed. If the processing succeeds, the system goes on to process the regular set of entities affected by the change. If any of the processing fails, a notification is sent to the person responsible for the change. A status indicator is constantly updated. After a predetermined time, the process checks for new changes and repeats the mentioned steps.

Abstract: An apparatus to provide an always-on monitor, alert, control, and share (MACS) device comprising a connection to receive intermittent updates from a real sensor device, the always-on virtual MACS device corresponding to the real sensor device, and a presentation layer to enable a user to interface with the always-on virtual MACS device, the always-on virtual MACS device providing data regardless of the status of the real sensor device.
