    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for an apparatus for facilitating a connection with an external sensor module, in accordance with some embodiments. In one instance, the apparatus may include a processor and a sensor hub coupled with the processor, wherein the sensor hub may include a bus to provide a connection between the apparatus and the external sensor module. The apparatus may further include signal pattern generation circuitry coupled with the sensor hub to generate a signal pattern in response to a connection of the external sensor module to the apparatus via the bus or disconnect of the external sensor module from the bus, to indicate an insert or remove event to the apparatus, and facilitate the connection of the apparatus with the external sensor module. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    Abstract: Technologies for determining a user's location by a mobile computing device include detecting, based on sensed inertial characteristics of the mobile computing device, that a user of the mobile computing device has taken a physical step in a direction. The mobile computing device determines a directional heading of the mobile computing device in the direction and a variation of an orientation of the mobile computing device relative to a previous orientation of the mobile computing device at a previous physical step of the user based on the sensed inertial characteristics. The mobile computing device further applies a Kalman filter to determine a heading of the user based on the determined directional heading of the mobile computing device and the variation of the orientation and determines an estimated location of the user based on the user's determined heading, an estimated step length of the user, and a previous location of the user at the previous physical step.

    Abstract: Technologies for determining a user's location include a mobile computing device to determine, based on sensed inertial characteristics of the device, a walking gait of a user. The walking gait is one of a first gait indicative of the user holding the g device to the user's side or a second gait indicative of the user swinging the device along the user's side. The device further detects that the user has taken a physical step based on the inertial characteristics and the determined walking gait of the user, and determines a raw directional heading of the device indicative of a direction of the physical step. The device determines an estimated location of the user based on the determined raw directional heading, an estimated step length, and the user's previous location.

    Abstract: Technologies for determining a user's location include a mobile computing device (100) to determine, based on sensed inertial characteristics of the device, a walking gait of a user. The walking gait is one of a first gait indicative of the user holding the device to the user's side or a second gait indicative of the user swinging the device along the user's side. The device further detects that the user has taken a physical step based on the inertial characteristics and the determined walking gait of the user, and determines a raw directional heading of the device indicative of a direction of the physical step. The device determines an estimated location of the user based on the determined raw directional heading, an estimated step length, and the user's previous location.
