    摘要: A method, apparatus, and article containing computer instructions are described. Embodiments may use accelerometer data regarding forward motion by a wearer of a three-axis on-body accelerometer. Embodiments may further measure an acceleration due to gravity on each axis x, y, z of the accelerometer and use the direction of gravity to associate or align the x axis of the accelerometer with gravity. Embodiments may then use the acceleration not due to gravity to identify the forward motion and associate or align the forward direction with the y axis. The remaining direction may be identified as the sideways direction, which may be associated or aligned with the z axis. Additional activities may then be performed using the now-known orientation of the accelerometer. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    摘要: A data processing system includes components for providing a pleasant user experience. Those components may include a family interaction engine that provides a family channel. The family interaction engine may provide for creation of a user group. The family channel may present content of interest to multiple users in the user group. When a user is detected near the data processing system, the family interaction engine may automatically present content of interest to that user. When used for presenting media content, the data processing system may also cause supplemental data to automatically be presented, wherein the supplemental data is relevant to the media content and to a predetermined interest of the user. The data processing system may also provide a ranked list of applications for potential activation by the user. The applications may be ordered based on the current context. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    摘要: A state classifier uses learning obtained from a plurality of training algorithms each adapted to differentiate between states of physical orientation of an object in response to input data from an tri-axial accelerometer. At least two of the training algorithms are trained using data from an accelerometer mounted at a non-ideal angle. The classifier is trained to distinguish between the desired states from data collected from an tri-axial accelerometer device mounted at a plurality of respective angles with respect to a optimal axis on the object, wherein the angles are in the range of −180 degrees to +180 degrees. The classifier may include a plurality of classifiers and a decision fusion module used to combine the decisions from the respective classifiers to ascertain a state.
