Abstract: A device including microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) sensors are used in dead reckoning in conditions where Global Positioning System (GPS) signals or Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals are lost. The device is capable of tracking the location of the device after the GPS/GNSS signals are lost by using MEMS sensors such as accelerometers and gyroscopes. By calculating a misalignment angle between a forward axis of a sensor frame of the device and a forward axis of a vehicle frame using the data received from the MEMS sensors, the device can accurately calculate the location of a user or the vehicle of the device even without the GPS/GNSS signals. Accordingly, a device capable of tracking the location of the user riding in the vehicle in GPS/GNSS signals absent environment can be provided.

Abstract: Digital signal processing circuitry, in operation, determines, based on accelerometer data, a carry-position of a device. Double-tap detection parameters are set using the determined carry-position. Double-taps are detected using the set double-tap detection parameters. In response to detection of a double-tap, control signals, such as a flag or an interrupt signal, are generated and used to control operation of the device. For example, a device may enter a wake mode of operation in response to detection of a double-tap.

Abstract: A system includes inertial sensors and a GPS. The system generates a first estimated vehicle velocity based on motion data and positioning data, generates a second estimated vehicle velocity based on the processed motion data and the first estimated vehicle velocity, and generates fused datasets indicative of position, velocity and attitude of a vehicle based on the processed motion data, the positioning data and the second estimated vehicle velocity. The generating the second estimated vehicle velocity includes: filtering the motion data, transforming the filtered motion data in a frequency domain based on the first estimated vehicle velocity, generating spectral power density signals, generating an estimated wheel angular frequency and an estimated wheel size based on the spectral power density signals, and generating the second estimated vehicle velocity as a function of the estimated wheel angular frequency and the estimated wheel size.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a device and method for detection of motion events including towing of the vehicle, jacking of the vehicle, and the vehicle being hit by another object. Processing is split between an MCU and a sensor unit. After the vehicle is turned off and before the MCU enters a sleep mode, the MCU calculates a gravity vector of the vehicle using accelerometer data, calculates threshold values based on the gravity vector, and saves the threshold values. After the MCU enters the sleep mode, the sensor unit subsequently monitors and detects motion events with the saved threshold values.

The device is capable of tracking the location of the device after the GPS/GNSS signals are lost by using MEMS sensors such as accelerometers and gyroscopes. By calculating a misalignment angle between a sensor frame of the device with either the movement direction of the vehicle or the walking direction of a pedestrian using the MEMS sensors, the device can accurately calculate the location of a user of the device even without the GPS/GNSS signals. Accordingly, a device capable of tracking the location of a pedestrian and a user riding in a vehicle without utilizing GPS/GNSS signals can be provided.

Abstract: A sensor management system includes a cloud-based sensor configuration system and an electronic device. The electronic device includes a sensor unit. The sensor unit includes configuration data that controls operation of the sensor unit. The configuration data includes a classifier that classifies feature sets generated from sensor signals of the sensor unit. The electronic device sends sensor data to the cloud-based sensor configuration system. The cloud-based sensor configuration system analyzes the sensor data and generates a new classifier customized for the sensor unit based on the sensor data. The cloud-based sensor configuration system sends the new classifier to the electronic device. The electronic device replaces the classifier in the sensor unit with the new classifier.
