IMPROVING MOTION SENSING BY IDENTIFYING A KEYSTROKE
First Claim
1. A method of mitigating an error in a motion sensor signal in a mobile device, comprising:
- receiving a user input signal based on a user input to the mobile device; and
performing a function on a motion sensor signal for a period of time to mitigate the error,wherein the function is triggered by the user input signal and the period of time is based on a duration of the user input signal.

Abstract
Provided are methods and apparatus for improving motion sensing. In an example, provided is a method of mitigating an error in a motion sensor signal in a mobile device. A user input signal, based on a user input to the mobile device, is received. The user input can be a keystroke, and the user input signal can be a signal resulting from the keystroke. The user input signal triggers performing a function on a motion sensor signal for a period of time. The motion sensor signal can be an output from an accelerometer and/or a gyroscope. The period of time can be based on the duration of the user input signal, and can be in a range between substantially 100 milliseconds to substantially 700 milliseconds.
