Wireless device application interaction via external control detection
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- identifying a first change in a wireless device'"'"'s position to a second position that is different from a first position;
calculating a first distance based on a distance between the first position of the wireless device and the second position of the wireless device;
comparing the first distance to a first threshold distance stored in a memory to confirm the first distance exceeds a first minimum distance;
identifying a second change in the wireless device'"'"'s position to a third position that is different from the first position and the second position;
calculating a second distance based on a distance between the second position of the wireless device and the third position of the wireless device;
comparing the second distance to a second threshold distance stored in the memory to confirm the second distance does not exceed a first maximum distance; and
changing a current operating state of the wireless device to a different operating state if the first distance exceeds the first minimum distance and the second distance does not exceed the first maximum distance.

Abstract
Wireless device application interaction via external control detection comprises identifying a first position of a wireless device and identifying a first change in the wireless device'"'"'s position. The method may also provide calculating a first distance vector. The method may also perform comparing the first distance vector to a first threshold distance and calculating a second distance vector based on a distance between the second position and a third position and comparing the second distance vector to a second threshold distance, and changing a current operating state of the wireless device to a different operating state if the first distance vector exceeds the first minimum distance and the second distance vector does not exceed the first maximum distance.
