1. A method for contextual inference of user activity, said method comprising:
- receiving from at least one motion sensor an indication of a motion of a pole-mounted sensing device comprising said at least one motion sensor and a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver configured to at least generate raw GNSS observables;
recognizing said indication of the motion as an intentional gesture of a person carrying the pole-mounted sensing device;
correlating said intentional gesture with an operation defined in a gesture library regarding collection of GNSS data received by said GNSS receiver; and
in response to the recognizing said indication of the motion as the intentional gesture and the correlating said intentional gesture with said operation, storing said indication and GNSS data received by said GNSS receiver at a time when said indication of the motion is detected.

Abstract
A method for contextual inference of user activity is disclosed. In one embodiment, an indication of the motion of a pole mounted sensing device comprising at least one motion sensor and a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver configured to at least generate raw GNSS observables is received from the at least one motion sensor. The indication of the motion of the pole mounted sensing device is correlated with an operation defined in a gesture library regarding GNSS data collect by the GNSS receiver at a time when the indication of the motion is detected. The indication and the GNSS data are stored.

12. A method for contextual inference of user activity, said method comprising:
-
receiving at a handheld wireless device via a wireless communication component an indication of a motion of a sensing device located apart from said handheld wireless device; receiving at said handheld wireless device, via said wireless communication component, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data received by a GNSS receiver attached to the sensing device at a time said indication of the motion of said sensing device was detected; recognizing said indication of the motion as an intentional gesture of a person carrying the sensing device; correlating said intentional gesture with an operation defined in a gesture library regarding collection of GNSS data received by said GNSS receiver; and in response to the recognizing said indication of the motion as the intentional gesture and said correlating said intentional gesture with said operation, storing said indication and the GNSS data received by said GNSS receiver at the time said indication of the motion of said sensing device was detected. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method for contextual inference of user activity, said method comprising:
-
storing in a non-transitory data storage device a gesture library, the gesture library correlating each of a plurality of gestures with a respective operation regarding collection of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data received by a GNSS receiver attached to a sensing device; receiving at a processor an indication of at least one motion of of the sensing device detected by a motion sensor attached to the sensing device; recognizing by said processor that said indication of the at least one motion as an intentional gesture of a person carrying the sensing device; accessing said gesture library by said processor; determining by said processor that said intentional gesture is correlated with a first operation regarding collection of GNSS data defined in said gesture library; and in response to the recognizing said indication of the motion as the intentional gesture and the determining that said intentional gesture is correlated with the first operation, performing by said processor the first operation regarding collection of GNSS data in response to said determining by said processor that said intentional gesture is correlated with the first operation defined in said gesture library. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
