PHYSICAL INTERACTION DEVICE FOR PERSONAL ELECTRONICS AND METHOD FOR USE
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, at one or more sensors in communication with a mobile computing device positioned within a device receptacle portion of a device, the device receptacle portion being configured to substantially enclose and protect the mobile computing device during physical activity, sensor data;
determining, by a processor of the mobile computing device, motion data regarding a movement of the protective device;
estimating a behavior of a user based in part upon the motion data;
generating a response to the behavior comprising at least one of graphic, audio, tactile, or video output; and
providing, through a wireless communications path, the response to a second device in wireless communication with the mobile computing device.

Abstract
The present disclosure describes, among other things, a method that may include receiving, at one or more sensors in communication with a mobile computing device positioned within a device receptacle portion of a device, the device receptacle portion being configured to substantially enclose and protect the mobile computing device during physical activity, sensor data. The method may include determining, by a processor of the mobile computing device, motion data regarding a movement of the protective device. The method may include estimating a behavior of a user based in part upon the motion data. The method may include generating a response to the behavior including at least one of graphic, audio, tactile, or video output. The method may include providing, through a wireless communications path, the response to a second device in wireless communication with the mobile computing device.

7. A method comprising:
-
positioning, within a protective enclosure portion of the device, a personal electronic device; and initiating execution of instructions associated with a software application on the personal electronic device within the device, wherein the instructions, when executed, cause a processor of the personal electronic device to determine, via a set of sensor data collected from one or more sensors in communication with the personal electronic device, movement data, correlate the movement data with an anticipated activity of a user interacting with the physical interaction enabling device, and provide feedback to the user in the form of at least one of graphic, video, and audio output responsive to the anticipated activity. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A system comprising:
a device having an internal cavity configured to releasably secure a handheld computing device, wherein a processor of the handheld computing device is configured to execute instructions that cause the processor to perform the steps of determining an identification associated with a user of device, collecting sensor data associated with interactions between the user and the device, determining at least one activity parameter of an activity enabled by the device, the activity parameter based in part on the sensor data, and storing data associated with both the identification and the activity parameter to a storage media. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
