Publication number: 20220036714Abstract: In an example method, a mobile device obtains a signal indicating an acceleration measured by a sensor over a time period. The mobile device determines an impact experienced by the user based on the signal. The mobile device also determines, based on the signal, one or more first motion characteristics of the user during a time prior to the impact, and one or more second motion characteristics of the user during a time after the impact. The mobile device determines that the user has fallen based on the impact, the one or more first motion characteristics of the user, and the one or more second motion characteristics of the user, and in response, generates a notification indicating that the user has fallen.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2021Publication date: February 3, 2022Inventors: Xing Tan, Huayu Ding, Parisa Dehleh Hossein Zadeh, Harshavardhan Mylapilli, Hung A.

Publication number: 20210393162Abstract: One or more electronic device may use motion and/or activity sensors to estimate a user's maximum volumetric flow of oxygen, or VO2 max. In particular, although a correlation between heart rate and VO2 max may be linear at high heart rate levels, there is not a linear correlation at lower heart rate levels. Therefore, for users without extensive workout data, the motion sensors and activity sensors may be used to determine maximum calories burned by the user, workout data, including heart rate data, and body metric data. Based on these parameters, a personalized relationship between the user's heart rate and oxygen pulse (which is a function of VO2) may be determined, even with a lack of high intensity workout data. In this way, a maximum heart rate and therefore a VO2 max value may be approximated for the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2021Publication date: December 23, 2021Inventors: Britni A.

Patent number: 11189159Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for facilitating disabling an alarm in response to particular types of activity-indicative data. More specifically, activity-indicative data (e.g., sensor data or input(s) can be detected prior to a preset alarm time. Upon determining, based on the activity-indicative data, that a wakefulness condition is satisfied (e.g., that the activity-indicative data corresponds to one or more predefined characteristics), a disablement query can be displayed that includes an option to disable the alarm. In response to detecting a selection of the option, the alarm can be disabled such that the alarm stimuli is not to be presented at the preset alarm time.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2020Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Bharath Narasimha Rao, Kevin Will Chen, Reed E.

Publication number: 20200342736Abstract: In an example method, a mobile device receives motion data obtained by one or more sensors worn by a user. The mobile device determines, based on the motion data, that the user has fallen at a first time and whether the user has moved between a second time and a third time subsequent to the first time. Upon determining that the user has not moved between the second time and the third time, the mobile device initiates a communication to an emergency response service at a fourth time after the third time. The communication includes an indication that the user has fallen and a location of the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2020Publication date: October 29, 2020Inventors: Xing Tan, Umamahesh Srinivas, Adeeti V.

Patent number: 10716073Abstract: In an example method, a mobile device connects a voice call for a user. The voice call causes one or more radio frequency transmitters of the mobile device to transmit radio waves at a first power level. Motion data describing movement of the mobile device is obtained, and the orientation of the mobile device is determined based on the motion data. A determination whether the mobile device is on the user's body or on an inanimate object is made based on the orientation of the mobile device over the period of time. The transmit power level is adjusted based on the determination.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2016Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Gunes Dervisoglu, Indranil S.
