Abstract: Algorithms for detecting whether a device is properly secured to a user's skin are described. The operation of a device, such as a wearable device, can be adjusted based on whether the device is properly secured to a user's skin (e.g., on-wrist) or not properly secured to the user's skin (e.g., off-wrist). For example, certain functions can be disabled for power-saving, security or other purposes if the device is off-wrist. In order to avoid falsely identifying the device as off-wrist or on-wrist, algorithms for detecting whether the device is on-wrist or off-wrist can calculate one or more variances based on signals measured by a light sensor and compare the one or more variances with one or more thresholds. Comparing the one or more variances to the one or more threshold can improve the accuracy of wrist-detection algorithms.

Abstract translation: 描述用于检测设备是否被正确地固定到用户皮肤的算法。 可以基于装置是否适当地固定在使用者的皮肤（例如手腕上）或者不能正确地固定在使用者的皮肤（例如手腕外））来调节诸如可穿戴装置的装置的操作。 例如，如果设备是腕上的话，某些功能可以被禁用，以节省电力，安全或其他目的。 为了避免将设备错误地识别为手腕外或手腕上的手段，用于检测设备是手腕上还是腕上的手腕的算法可以基于由光传感器测量的信号来计算一个或多个方差，并且比较一个或多个 更多差异与一个或多个阈值。 将一个或多个方差与一个或多个阈值进行比较可以提高手腕检测算法的准确性。
