First Claim
Patent Images
1. A device comprising:
- at least one orientation sensor;
a memory storing one or more carrying-case insertion signatures; and
,a processor configured to;
receive output from the at least one orientation sensor as a function of time;
track an average of the time-dependent pattern and store at least a portion of the average in the memory as the one or more carrying-case insertion signatures when the time-dependent pattern matches the one or more carrying-case insertion signatures; and
,place the device in a carrying case mode when a time-dependent pattern in the output matches the one or more carrying-case insertion signatures.

Abstract
A device for detecting a carrying case using orientation signatures, and method therefor, is provided. The device includes: at least one orientation sensor; a memory storing one or more carrying-case insertion signatures; and, a processor configured to: receive output from the at least one orientation sensor as a function of time; and place the device in a carrying case mode when a time-dependent pattern in the output matches the one or more carrying-case insertion signatures.

11. A method comprising:
at a device comprising;
at least one orientation sensor;
a memory storing one or more carrying-case insertion signatures; and
, a processor,receiving output at the processor from the at least one orientation sensor as a function of time; tracking an average of the time-dependent pattern; and
storing at least a portion of the average in the memory as the one or more carrying-case insertion signatures when the time-dependent pattern matches the one or more carrying-case insertion signatures; and
,the processor placing the device in a carrying case mode a time-dependent pattern in the output matches the one or more carrying-case insertion signatures. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A computer program product, comprising a non-transitory computer usable medium having a computer readable program code adapted to be executed to implement a method comprising:
-
at a device comprising;
at least one orientation sensor;
a memory storing one or more carrying-case insertion signatures; and
, a processor,receiving output at the processor from the at least one orientation sensor as a function of time; tracking an average of the time-dependent pattern; and
storing at least a portion of the average in the memory as the one or more carrying-case insertion signatures when the time-dependent pattern matches the one or more carrying-case insertion signatures; and
,placing the device in a carrying case mode when the processor determines that a time-dependent pattern in the output matches the one or more carrying-case insertion signatures.
