Mobile Device Having a Motion Detector
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A mobile device for detecting motion, comprising:
- a motion detector; and
a pedometer application on the mobile device to sample for motion at a first sampling rate when no motion is detected for a specified time and to sample for motion at a second sampling rate when motion is detected, wherein the second sampling rate is more frequent than the first sampling rate.

Abstract
A system and method for detecting motion by a mobile device is provided. The mobile device determines whether motion is detected by a motion detector. The motion detection is sampled at a first sampling rate when no motion is detected for a specified time. The motion detection is sampled at a second sampling rate when motion is detected, wherein the second sampling rate is more frequent than the first sampling rate.

15. A mobile device for detecting motion, comprising:
-
a processor; a motion detector on the mobile device to detect motion; and an application having instructions that, when executed by the processor, promote sampling the motion detector at a first sampling rate when no motion is detected for a specified time and further promote sampling the motion detector at a second sampling rate when motion is detected, wherein the second sampling rate is more frequent than the first sampling rate. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
