1. A computing system, comprising:
- at least one processing unit; and
memory configured to be in communication with the at least one processing unit, the memory storing instructions that based on execution by the at least one processing unit, cause the at least one processing unit to;
receive sensor data from at least one electronic device;
determine, based at least partly on the sensor data, a hand grip placement associated with the at least one electronic device;
determine, based at least partly on the sensor data, a motion associated with the at least one electronic device;
determine, based at least partly on the hand grip placement and the motion, a usage context of the at least one electronic device; and
cause an action to be performed based on the usage context of the at least one electronic device.

Abstract
By correlating user grip information with micro-mobility events, electronic devices can provide support for a broad range of interactions and contextually-dependent techniques. Such correlation allows electronic devices to better identify device usage contexts, and in turn provide a more responsive and helpful user experience, especially in the context of reading and task performance. To allow for accurate and efficient device usage context identification, a model may be used to make device usage context determinations based on the correlated gesture and micro-mobility data. Once a context, device usage context, or gesture is identified, an action can be taken on one or more electronic devices.
