1. A method for determining engagement of a portable device with a platform, comprising:
- obtaining motion sensor data for the portable device;
obtaining engagement sensor data for the portable device; and
determining the portable device is exhibiting motion with respect to the platform when the engagement sensor data exceeds an engagement threshold, wherein the engagement threshold is based at least in part on the motion sensor data.
