First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- under control of one or more processors;
detecting an incoming voice-call on a mobile device;
receiving, from one or more sensor of the mobile device, sensor data indicating at least a movement of the mobile device;
comparing the movement of the mobile device with a registered movement template, the registered movement template being associated with a user of the mobile device; and
causing, the mobile device to automatically answer the incoming voice-call, based at least in part on the movement of the mobile device matching the registered movement template.

Abstract
This disclosure describes techniques for automatically answering an incoming voice-call on a mobile device. A voice-call answering application, executed on the mobile device, may allow a user to answer an incoming voice-call by applying a movement or a biometric sample that is preconfigured to answer the incoming voice-call. In some examples, the user may preconfigure the voice-call answering application to recognize different movements or biometric samples based on a time of day, a day of the week, a geographic location, or a type of motion.

6. A mobile device comprising:
-
one or more sensors that detect at least one of a movement of the mobile device or a biometric sample of a user associated with the mobile device; one or more processors coupled to the one or more sensors; memory coupled to the one or more processors, the memory including one or more modules that are executable by the one or more processors to; receive, from the one or more sensors, sensor data indicating at least one of a movement of the mobile device or a biometric sample of a user associated with the mobile device; compare the sensor data with a registered template associated with the mobile device; and cause the mobile device to automatically answer an incoming voice-call based at least in part on the sensor data matching the registered template. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A system, comprising:
-
one or more sensors of a mobile device, the one or more sensors detecting at least a movement of the mobile device; one or more processors coupled to the one or more sensors; memory coupled to the one or more processors, the memory including one or more modules that are executable by the one or more processors to; receive, sensor data from the one or more sensors of the mobile device; determine a first movement of the mobile device based at least in part on the sensor data, the first movement corresponding to a synchronized motion of the mobile device and a user; determine a second movement of the mobile device based at least in part on the sensor data, the second movement corresponding to a motion of the mobile device relative to the user; select an active configuration based at least in part on the synchronized motion of the mobile device and the user, the active configuration identifying a registered movement template for comparison with the movement of the mobile device; compare the second movement of the mobile device with the registered movement template; and cause the mobile device to automatically answer an incoming voice-call based at least in part on the second movement of the mobile device matching the registered movement template. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
