Patent Images
1. A mobile device comprising:
- a motion sensor configured to detect one or more movements of the mobile device;
an audio sensor configured to capture one or more audio signals;
a processing unit configured to determine a context of the mobile device in dependence on at least one movement detected by the motion sensor and at least one audio signal captured by the audio sensor;
wherein the processing unit is configured to activate the audio sensor for capturing the one or more audio signals for confirming said context only if the detected movement indicates that said context is probable.
