METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETECTING USER ACCESSIBILITY ON MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE

摘要

PURPOSE: A method and an apparatus for detecting user accessibility on a mobile communication device are provided to detect and track the accessibility of user on a network system via the mobile communication device. CONSTITUTION: At least one sensor(44) detects when a user is accessible on a client application of a mobile communication device(100) and outputs a detection signal. A transceiver(22) transmits and receives signals to and from the mobile communication device(100). A processor(10) receives the detection signal and controls the transceiver(22). The sensor(44) comprises an accelerometer(45) for detecting the motion of the mobile communication device(100). The processor(10) compares the detection signal output by the accelerometer(45) with a predetermined threshold value, and determines that the user is in possession of the mobile communication device(100) when the detection signal exceeds the predetermined threshold value.
