Methods and applications for motion mode detection for personal navigation systems

摘要

A method and apparatus of detecting and using motion modes in a mobile device is described. Movement data is collected from an inertial motion unit (IMU) of the mobile device and compared to two or more sets of training data, each set of training data corresponding to a different motion mode. Then, a motion mode is determined to be the current mode of the mobile device on the results of the comparison. The motion mode is used by the mobile device in a variety of applications.

1. A method for determining a current motion mode of a mobile device, the method comprising:
collecting movement data from an inertial motion unit (IMU) of the mobile device; comparing, using a computer processor, the collected movement data to two or more sets of training data, each set of training data in the two or more sets of training data corresponding to a motion mode in a plurality of motion modes; and determining, based on the comparison, the current motion mode of the mobile device to be a particular motion mode in the plurality of motion modes.
