Abstract: A mobile device may determine a set of range values between the first mobile device and the second mobile device based on a difference between the first time and the second time for ranging wireless signals. The mobile device can determine first odometry information using a first sensor on the first mobile device, the first odometry information indicating a first motion of the first mobile device during a time period. The mobile device can receive, via a data channel, second odometry information determined from second measurements captured using a second sensor on the second mobile device. The mobile device can solve an angle between a first reference frame for the first device and a second reference frame for the second device using the set of range values, and the first and second odometry information to display a directional arrow pointing to a current position of the second mobile device.

Abstract: In an example method, a mobile device obtains a signal indicating an acceleration measured by a sensor over a time period. The mobile device determines an impact experienced by the user based on the signal. The mobile device also determines, based on the signal, one or more first motion characteristics of the user during a time prior to the impact, and one or more second motion characteristics of the user during a time after the impact. The mobile device determines that the user has fallen based on the impact, the one or more first motion characteristics of the user, and the one or more second motion characteristics of the user, and in response, generates a notification indicating that the user has fallen.

Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for user posture change detection for triggering re-centering of spatial audio. In an embodiment, a method comprises: obtaining source device motion data from a source device and headset motion data from a headset worn by a user; estimating a gravity vector from one of the source device or headset motion data; splitting the source device and headset motion data into vertical and horizontal planes, the vertical plane in the direction of the estimated gravity vector and the horizontal plane perpendicular to the estimated gravity vector; calculating similarity measures based on the source device motion data and headset motion data in the vertical and horizontal planes over a time window; detecting a posture change event based on the calculated similarity measures; and resetting a head tracker error after the detected user posture change event.

Abstract: Ear buds may have optical proximity sensors and accelerometers. Control circuitry may analyze output from the optical proximity sensors and the accelerometers to identify a current operational state for the ear buds. The control circuitry may also analyze the accelerometer output to identify tap input such as double taps made by a user on ear bud housings. Samples in the accelerometer output may be analyzed to determine whether the samples associated with a tap have been clipped. If the samples have been clipped, a curve may be fit to the samples. Optical sensor data may be analyzed in conjunction with potential tap input data from the accelerometer. If the optical sensor data is ordered, a tap input may be confirmed. If the optical sensor data is disordered, the control circuitry can conclude that accelerometer data corresponds to false tap input associated with unintentional contact with the housing.
