Patent Images
1. A method of identifying a type of motion of an object, comprising:
- generating an acceleration signature based on sensed acceleration of the object;
matching the acceleration signature with at least one of a plurality of stored acceleration signatures, wherein each stored acceleration signatures corresponds with a type of motion;
identifying the type of motion of the object based on the matching of the acceleration signature with a stored acceleration signature.

Abstract
A method of identifying a type of motion of an animate or inanimate object is disclosed. The method includes generating an acceleration signature based on the sensed acceleration of the object. The acceleration signature is matched with at least one of a plurality of stored acceleration signatures, wherein each stored acceleration signatures corresponds with type of motion. The type of motion of the object is identified based on the statistical matching or exact matching of the acceleration signature.
