1. A system for detecting aspects of motion related to moving a hand-held device, the system comprising:
- a processing system having at least one processor, the processing system configured to;
determine a first output for a first axis of an accelerometer arrangement resulting from moving the hand-held device in free space;
determine a second output for a second axis of the accelerometer arrangement, at least the first and/or second output reporting data indicative of at least a centripetal force resulting from moving of the hand-held device in free space along a curved path; and
provide responsive output related to the aspects of motion, resulting from moving of the hand-held device in free space, based on, at least, the first output for the first axis of the accelerometer arrangement and the second output for the second axis of the accelerometer arrangement.

Abstract
An example system and method is provided for detecting a moment of impact and/or strength of a swing based on moving a hand-held device including an accelerometer arrangement. A moment and a magnitude of simulated striking of the object are determined based on one or more accelerometer arrangement outputs resulting from the moving of the hand-held device. Using one or more of aural, visual and tactile outputs, the striking of the object is simulated in accordance with the determined moment of simulated striking and the determined magnitude of the simulated striking.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising computer program code embodied thereon which, when executed by an information processing device having a processor, causes the processor to:
-
determine a first output for a first axis of an accelerometer arrangement resulting from moving the hand-held device in free space; determining a second output for a second axis of the accelerometer arrangement, at least the first and/or second output reporting data indicative of at least a centripetal force resulting from moving the handheld device in free space; and providing responsive output indicative of a simulated punching motion, resulting from moving of the hand-held device in free space, based on, at least, the first output for the first axis of the accelerometer arrangement and the second output for the second axis of the accelerometer arrangement, the responsive output including, at least, tactile feedback. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
