Initialize a Computing Device to Perform an Action

摘要

A method uses a computing device that includes a first processor in a first, inactive state operatively coupled to a second processor in an active state. While the first processor is in the first state (301) the second processor uses sensors to determine (303) that a first condition occurred. In response to determining that the first condition has occurred, the first processor initializes (305) to a second, active state. If the first or second processor determines (311) that a second condition has occurred within a given time period (307 and 309) after the first condition occurred, the first processor performs (315) a first action such as launching a software application, capturing a digital photograph, or placing a phone call.

主权项

1. A method, at a computing device that includes a first processor operatively coupled to a second processor, comprising:
determining by the second processor that an accelerometer reading of the computing device is above a threshold; waking up the first processor from an inactive mode of operation to an active mode of operation, in response to the determining by the second processor; determining by the first processor that a gyroscope reading of the computing device is substantially similar to a predefined movement gesture; and launching a software application, in response to the determining by the first processor.
