APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MOTION DETECTION IN A PORTABLE TERMINAL
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus for motion detection in a portable terminal, the apparatus comprising:
- a sensor unit containing first sensors for sensing a motion of the portable terminal has occurred and second sensors for determining a type of motion; and
a state determination unit for receiving first sensing information from said first sensors for determining whether a motion of the portable terminal from the sensor unit has been sensed, and for receiving second sensing information from said second sensors for determining whether or not the sensed motion by the second sensors comprises a normal motion for applying a motion-related function based on a motion determination rate of the portable terminal, in order to determine if a state of motion of the portable terminal comprises the normal motion or an abnormal motion that is unrelated to functionality.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for motion detection in a portable terminal preferably includes a state determination unit for receiving first sensing information for determining a motion of the portable terminal by a sensor unit. After determining the motion of the portable terminal, second sensing information is received for determining whether or not a normal motion applying a motion function has occurred. The portable terminal determines if the portable terminal is a normal motion associated with a motion-related function or an abnormal motion that is not associated with a motion-related function.

10. A method for motion detection in a portable terminal, the method comprising:
-
if receiving sensing information from a plurality of sensors, determining whether motion of the portable terminal has occurred using first sensing information received from at least a first sensor of said plurality of sensors; and determining if the motion of portable terminal sensed is a normal motion corresponding to application of a motion-related function or an abnormal motion not associated with a motion-related function using second sensing information received from a second sensor of said plurality of sensors. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
