1. A method, comprising:
- detecting, by a mobile device, motion of the mobile device in response to receipt of a signal from an accelerometer disposed in said mobile device;
changing, by the mobile device, a power state of a gyroscope, also disposed in said mobile device, from a first mode to a second mode to perform a measurement activity in response to said detecting said motion of the mobile device, the first mode being different from the second mode; and
changing, by the mobile device, the power state of the gyroscope back to the first mode upon completion of the measurement activity.

Abstract
The subject matter disclosed herein relates to the control and utilization of multiple sensors within a device. For an example, motion of a device may be detected in response to receipt of a signal from a first sensor disposed in the device, and a power state of a second sensor also disposed in the device may be changed in response to detected motion.

6. A mobile station, comprising:
-
an accelerometer disposed in the mobile station; a gyroscope disposed in the mobile station; and a processor adapted to; detect motion of said mobile station in response to receipt of a signal from the accelerometer; change a power state of the gyroscope from a first mode to a second mode to perform a measurement activity in response to said detected motion, the first mode being different from the second mode; and change the power state of the gyroscope back to the first mode upon completion of the measurement activity. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
