Physical activity-based device control

摘要

A method for controlling the configuration, such as access and/or one or more other features, of an application in an electronic device from the standpoint of a particular user, comprising obtaining an indication of the identity of the user determined based on sensor data associated with physical activity by the user, obtaining an indication of the physical activity identified based on the sensor data, and modifying or at least providing information enabling to modify the identified user's configuration of an application logic based on the identified activity and optionally other activity information derived utilizing the sensor data. Related mobile device, electronic arrangement and system are presented.

主权项

1. A mobile device for a plurality of users, said users being identifiable based on sensor data, comprising
a sensor data storage for obtaining sensor data indicative of physical activity associated with a user monitored via a sensor, a user recognizer for identifying the user from said plurality of identifiable users on the basis of the sensor data obtained, an activity recognizer for identifying the physical activity of the identified user, such as a sports activity, on the basis of the sensor data obtained, an analyzer for measuring an intensity or energy consumption associated with the physical activity performed, and an interface for providing an indication of a user identity, indication of the physical activity, and an indication of said intensity or energy consumption, to an application logic to enable modifying the identified user's configuration relative to said application logic incorporating rewarding the user for performing the physical activity, said application logic being either local or external relative to the mobile device, wherein said rewarding comprises allocating the level of user rights of the associated user relative to a number of applications responsive to the physical activity.
