MINIMIZATION OF FALSE TRIGGER IN A MOBILE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- performing a preventative action in response to detecting a first trigger event triggered by an accelerometer attached to a portable device in response to a sudden move of the portable device;
initiating a quiet period in response to detecting at least one repeated trigger event within a time window encompassing the first trigger event;
bypassing performing the preventative action for a subsequent trigger event detected during the quiet period; and
terminating the quiet period based on an expiration criterion.

Abstract
Preventative actions normally performed in response to detecting a trigger event triggered by an accelerometer attached to a portable device may be bypassed during a quiet period. The quiet period may be initiated in response to detecting at least one repeated trigger event within a time window encompassing the first trigger event, and may be terminated based on an expiration criterion.

17. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a trigger event generator to be coupled with an accelerometer to generate a trigger event based on a raw signal from the accelerometer; an event logic module coupled to the trigger event generator to generate an output signal from which a preventative action is performed, wherein the event logic module is configured to initiate a quiet period in response to detecting a threshold number of repeated trigger events within a time period, and bypass generating the output signal in response to receiving the trigger event if the trigger event is received during the quiet period such that no preventative action is to be performed. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
-
performing a normal detection routine in which in response to a trigger event from an accelerometer attached to a portable device indicating that the portable device is in a sudden move, a preventative action is performed; initiating a quiet period based on a pattern of subsequent trigger events received from the accelerometer, wherein during the quiet period no preventative action is performed; and resuming the normal detection routine after the quiet period ends. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27)

28. A system, comprising:
-
a processor; a memory containing instructions executable by the processor to cause the system to perform operations comprising; performing a preventative action in response to detecting a first trigger event triggered by a first accelerometer attached to a portable device in response to a sudden move of the portable device; initiating a quiet period in response to detecting at least one repeated trigger event within a time window encompassing the first trigger event; bypassing performing the preventative action for a subsequent trigger event detected during the quiet period; and terminating the quiet period based on an expiration criterion.
