1. A motion aware mobile device comprising:
- a processor;
a motion context logic implemented in the processor to determine a motion context of the device, the motion context automatically identifying absent user input a geographic location of the device, a type of user activity, a user'"'"'s environment, and a relative location of the device with respect to the user'"'"'s body based in part on data from a motion sensor, the relative location indicating that the device is in an in-use location on the user'"'"'s body based on the data from the motion sensor or a not-in-use location based on an orientation of the device, wherein the type of user activity identified in the motion context includes distinguishing types of user activities selected from among;
standing, sitting, walking, jogging;
a context-based action logic to automatically manage the device based on the motion context via a context-based action logic engine; and
a gesture command logic to identify a motion command and to automatically determine an appropriate action based on the context-based action logic engine, the identification automatically tightened or loosened to change a definition of a gesture command based on the motion context of the device.

Abstract
A device comprising a motion context logic that receives data from at least one motion sensor is described. The motion context logic determines a user'"'"'s motion context. Context based action logic manages the device based on the user'"'"'s motion context.

8. A motion-state aware device comprising:
-
a low power processor (LPP) to monitor a sensor, the LPP including; a motion context logic to determine a motion context of the device, the motion context identifying a type of user activity, a motion location context of the device automatically determined from a location of the device and the type of user activity at the location, a user'"'"'s environment, and a relative location of the device with respect to the user'"'"'s body; a context-based action logic to automatically manage the device based in the motion context via a context-based action logic engine; a gesture command logic to automatically identify a motion command and to automatically determine an appropriate action based on the context-based action logic, identification tightened or loosened to change a definition of a gesture command based on the motion context of the device; and
,a power management system to wake up portions of the motion-state aware device when the motion context indicates a need for the portions. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method for adjusting settings of a motion aware device, the method comprising:
-
determining a motion context of a motion aware device based on a type of user activity, a motion location context of the user automatically determined absent user input based on a user'"'"'s location and the type of user activity at the location, a user'"'"'s environment, and a relative location of the device with respect to the user'"'"'s body, the relative location indicating that the device is in an in-use location on the user'"'"'s body based on motion characteristics of the device or a not-in-use location based on an orientation of the device; and automatically managing the motion aware device based on the motion context by automatically tightening or loosening gesture recognition based on the motion context of the device. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)
