1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

  • accessing real-time acceleration data that is periodic in nature so as to represent periodic forces that were applied to a mobile device over a period of time;

    identifying a dominant frequency of the real-time acceleration data;

    selecting, from among multiple acceleration profiles that are accessible to the mobile device, an acceleration profile that stores acceleration data which matches the real-time acceleration data, wherein the selecting is based at least in part on the dominant frequency of the real-time acceleration data matching a dominant frequency of the acceleration data stored by the acceleration profile;

    identifying one or more applications that are associated with the selected acceleration profile; and

    invoking one or more of the identified applications.
