PHYSICAL ACTIVITY-BASED DEVICE CONTROL
First Claim
1. A mobile device comprisinga sensor data storage for obtaining sensor data indicative of physical activity associated with a user monitored via a sensor,a user recognizer for identifying the user on the basis of the sensor data obtained,an activity recognizer for identifying the physical activity, such as a sports activity, on the basis of the sensor data obtained, andan interface for providing an indication of the user identity and indication of the identified activity to an application logic to enable modifying the identified user'"'"'s configuration, such as access and/or one or more other features, relative to said application logic, said application logic being either local or external relative to the mobile device.

Abstract
A method for controlling the configuration, such as access and/or one or more other features, of an application in an electronic device from the standpoint of a particular user, comprising obtaining an indication of the identity of the user determined based on sensor data associated with physical activity by the user, obtaining an indication of the physical activity identified based on the sensor data, and modifying or at least providing information enabling to modify the identified user'"'"'s configuration of an application logic based on the identified activity and optionally other activity information derived utilizing the sensor data. Related mobile device, electronic arrangement and system are presented.
