AMPLIFYING ORIENTATION CHANGES FOR ENHANCED MOTION DETECTION BY A MOTION SENSOR
First Claim
1. A device, comprising:
- a structure configured to enhance detection of movement, the structure comprising an articulator configured to amplify a motion and a pin configured to apply a force on a pivot point on the articulator;
an accelerometer coupled to the structure and configured to detect motion of the structure; and
circuitry configured to translate data associated with rotational motion of the articulator to determine a movement of an adjacent surface.

Abstract
Techniques associated with amplifying orientation changes for enhanced motion detection by a motion sensor are described, including structures configured to enhance detection of motion, the structure having an articulator configured to amplify a motion and a pin configured to apply a force on a pivot point on the articulator, a motion sensor coupled to the structure and configured to detect motion of the structure, and circuitry configured to translate data associated with rotational motion of the articulator into a movement of an adjacent surface. In some embodiments, a method includes coupling a motion sensor to a skin surface using an articulator, the articulator configured to rotate in multiple planes, detecting rotational motion of the articulator using the motion sensor, and deriving data associated with movement on the skin surface.
