TLDR
In this article, a computer-implemented method includes storing a plurality of acceleration profiles in a mobile device, receiving accelerometer data from an accelerometer in the mobile device; correlating the accelerometers data with one accelerometer profile in the plurality of accelerometer profiles; and activating a user application associated with the correlated acceleration profile.Abstract:
In some implementations, a computer-implemented method includes storing a plurality of acceleration profiles in a mobile device; receiving accelerometer data from an accelerometer in the mobile device; correlating the accelerometer data with one accelerometer profile in the plurality of accelerometer profiles; and activating a user application of the mobile device that is associated with the correlated accelerometer profile. Each acceleration profile can correspond to a sequence of acceleration forces a mobile device would be subjected to when carried with a user during an activity that corresponds to the correlated acceleration profile.read more
