Sensor Fusion Algorithm
First Claim
1. A method implemented by a computing device comprising:
- obtaining a spatial position for the computing device via one or more sensor systems of the host computing device;
ascertaining a spatial position for an accessory device connected to the host computing device; and
computing an orientation of the accessory device relative to the host computing device based on the obtained spatial position for the host computing device and the ascertained spatial position for the accessory device.

Abstract
Sensor fusion algorithm techniques are described. In one or more embodiments, behaviors of a host device and accessory devices are controlled based upon an orientation of the host device and accessory devices, relative to one another. A combined spatial position and/or orientation for the host device may be obtained based on raw measurements that are obtained from at least two different types of sensors. In addition, a spatial position and/or orientation for an accessory device is ascertained using one or more sensors of the accessory device. An orientation (or position) of the accessory device relative to the host computing device may then be computed based on the combined spatial position/orientation for the host computing device and the ascertained spatial position/orientation for the accessory device. The relative orientation that is computed may then be used in various ways to control behaviors of the host computing device and/or accessory device.
