APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHODS FOR INTERFACING WITH A USER AND/OR EXTERNAL APPARATUS BY STATIONARY STATE DETECTION
First Claim
1. A method of interfacing with a user, comprising:
- detecting a user in proximity of an apparatus;
entering a first mode of the apparatus responsive to detection of the user in proximity;
receiving motion data from one or more sensors of the apparatus responsive to movement of the apparatus;
detecting a stationary state of the apparatus based on the motion data; and
entering a second mode responsive to detection of the stationary state.

Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for interfacing with a user based on the detection of a state, such as a stationary state, of the apparatus and providing a response based on the state of the apparatus are described herein. An example method of interfacing with a user includes: detecting a user in proximity of an apparatus; entering a first mode of the apparatus responsive to detection of the user in proximity; receiving motion data from one or more sensors of the apparatus responsive to movement of the apparatus; and detecting a stationary state of the apparatus based on the motion data; and entering a second mode responsive to detection of the stationary state.

13. An apparatus comprising:
-
a proximity sensor configured to detect a user in proximity of the apparatus; a processor configured to cause the apparatus to enter a first mode responsive to detection of the user in proximity; and a motion sensor configured to provide motion data responsive to movement of the apparatus in the first mode, wherein the processor is configured to detect a stationary state of the apparatus based on the motion data and further configured to cause the apparatus to enter a second mode responsive to the detection of the stationary state. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
