Techniques for determining movements based on sensor measurements from a plurality of mobile devices co-located with a person

摘要

Example techniques are provided that may be implemented, at least in part, at a mobile device to determine certain parameters corresponding to movement of an object that is co-located with the mobile device and at least one other mobile device. In an example implementation, a mobile device may obtain measurements corresponding to sensors of a plurality of mobile devices co-located on an object, and determine at least one of an estimated speed of the object, an estimated heading of the object, or an estimated heading rate of the object based, at least in part, on all or a selected subset of the sensor measurements which are accepted for use.

主权项

1. A method comprising, at a mobile device:
obtaining a first indication of battery life from a first battery located in said mobile device; obtaining a second indication of battery life from a second battery located in a wearable electronic device that is detached from said mobile device; and requesting either first measurements from a first sensor located in said mobile device, or second measurements from a second sensor located in said wearable electronic device, wherein
at least partially in response to determining that said first battery has a longer remaining battery life than said second battery, requesting only said first measurements from said first sensor, orat least partially in response to determining that said second battery has a longer remaining battery life than said first second battery, requesting only said second measurements from said second sensor.
