ADAPTIVE SENSOR-BASED ACTIVITY CLASSIFICATION
First Claim
1. A method performed by one or more processors of a mobile device for determining an activity state of the mobile device, the method comprising:
- calculating a movement onset threshold based on a statistical model of sensor measurements for a motion sensor of the mobile device;
receiving a first set of measurements from the motion sensor;
calculating a log-variance signal based on the first set of measurements;
comparing the log-variance signal with the movement onset threshold; and
determining that the log-variance signal exceeds the movement onset threshold.

Abstract
An activity state (e.g., stationary or moving) of an intermittently moving mobile device is classified using sensor measurements provided by one or more on-board sensors. The activity state can be determined by a classifier that exploits the separable log-normal distributions of the short-time variance of sensor measurements. The activity state can provide an external non-correlated indication of movement or stationarity to an on-board navigation engine. The on-board navigation engine can use the activity state to improve tracking performance.
