SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USING MAGNETOMETER READINGS TO CONTROL ELECTRONIC DEVICES |
摘要 |
A method and system are provided for controlling an electronic device, such as a mobile device. The method comprises using a magnetometer of the electronic device to obtain a reading; determining whether one or more properties of the reading matches at least one magnetic signature from a set of magnetic signatures, each magnetic signature being indicative of an expected magnetic influence from another object; if the one or more properties match a particular magnetic signature from the set of magnetic signatures, determining one or more actions associated with the particular magnetic signature; and enabling the one or more actions to be performed using the electronic device. |
