First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- detecting, by a wearable computing device, that the wearable computing device is located within a moving vehicle;
detecting, by the wearable computing device, an indication of movement associated with the wearable computing device;
identifying, by the wearable computing device, based on the indication of movement associated with the wearable computing device, one or more changes to a measurement of acceleration or orientation of the wearable computing device;
determining, by the wearable computing device, based on the one or more changes to the measurement of acceleration or orientation, a degree of likelihood that a user of the wearable computing device is performing, within the moving vehicle, an act of driving;
determining, by the wearable computing device, based on the degree of likelihood, that the user of the wearable computing device is currently driving the moving vehicle; and
performing, by the wearable computing device, based on determining that the user of the wearable computing device is currently driving the moving vehicle, an operation.

Abstract
A wearable computing device is described that detects an indication of movement associated with the wearable computing device when a user of the wearable computing device detected being located within a moving vehicle. Based at least in part on the indication of movement, a determination is made that the user of the wearable computing device is currently driving the moving vehicle. An operation is performed based on the determination that the user of the wearable computing device is currently driving the moving vehicle.
