摘要

A computer-implemented method for determining an action for a user, implemented in a computing system programmed to perform the method includes receiving a first time series of physical perturbations with a first physical sensor in response to physical perturbations of the computing system, receiving a second time series of physical perturbations with a second physical sensor in response to the physical perturbations of the computing system, determining an event vector in response to the first time series of physical perturbations and in response to the second time series of physical perturbations, comparing the event vector to a first event signature to determine a first value, determining occurrence of a first event when the first value exceeds a first threshold, and determining a first action for the computing system in response to the determining in the computing system, occurrence of the first event.
