Movement-Triggered Action for Mobile Device
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- by a computing device, receiving sensor data from a sensor on the computing device indicating physical movement of the computing device;
by the computing device, determining;
a motion-trigger signal of the sensor data corresponding to a first characteristic of the physical movement of the computing device; and
a motion-confirm signal of the sensor data corresponding to a second characteristic of the physical movement of the computing device;
by the computing device, determining whether;
the motion-trigger signal comprises a transition from within a pre-defined threshold band to outside of the pre-defined threshold band; and
the motion-confirm signal is within the pre-defined threshold band; and
by the computing device, initiating a pre-defined action of the computing device when the motion-trigger signal comprises the transition from within the pre-defined threshold band to outside of the pre-defined threshold band and the motion-confirm signal is within the pre-defined threshold band.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes, by a computing device, receiving sensor data from a sensor on the computing device indicating physical movement of the computing device. The method also includes determining a motion-trigger signal of the sensor data corresponding to a first characteristic of the physical movement of the computing device and a motion-confirm signal of the sensor data corresponding to a second characteristic of the physical movement of the computing device. The method further includes determining whether the motion-trigger signal includes a transition from within a pre-defined threshold band to outside of the pre-defined threshold band and whether the motion-confirm signal is within the pre-defined threshold band. The method also includes initiating a pre-defined action of the computing device when the motion-trigger signal includes the transition from within the pre-defined threshold band to outside the pre-defined threshold band and the motion-confirm signal is within the pre-defined threshold band.
