Abstract

An electronic device monitors accelerations using a motion sensor. The electronic device determines a current motion state based on the accelerations. The electronic device identifies a plurality of applications that subscribe to a motion state identification service and notifies a subset of the applications of the current motion state, the subset meeting notification criteria associated with the current motion state.

determining, by the portable electronic device, whether an exit condition for exiting the second motion state has been met; and

based on the exit condition being met, determining, by the portable electronic device, that the portable electronic device is no longer in the second motion state.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

based on no acceleration being detected for a time period, initiating a sleep mode, wherein in the sleep mode, a sampling rate of the sensor for obtaining acceleration data is lower than in one or more other modes.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

based on acceleration being detected, initiating an entry mode, wherein in the entry mode, the sampling rate of the sensor for obtaining acceleration data is higher than in the sleep mode.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

based on entry conditions for an activity type being satisfied, initiating an active mode, wherein in the active mode, the sampling rate of the sensor for obtaining acceleration data is based on a current activity type.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

based on a periodic motion not being detected within a set interval during the active mode, initiating an exit mode;

determining, by the portable electronic device, whether re-entry conditions are met; and

based on determining that re-entry conditions have been met, reinitiating the active mode.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first application executed on the portable electronic device is a music application integrated with a fitness application of the portable electronic device.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining that the portable electronic device is in the first motion state based on the obtained acceleration data is based on applying motion criteria of the first motion state to a periodic human motion corresponding to the acceleration data within a cadence window, and wherein the first and second motion states have different motion criteria associated therewith.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of applications that subscribe to the motion state identification service include at least one of: a music player application, a telephony application, a video application, or a gesture application.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first subscription information further indicates how often motion-related notifications are to be sent to the first application.

14. A portable electronic device, comprising:

a sensor configured to obtain acceleration data;

a non-transitory memory configured to store processor-executable instructions; and

a processor configured to execute the processor-executable instructions stored on the non-transitory memory to facilitate:

obtaining acceleration data from the sensor;

determining that the portable electronic device is in a first motion state based on the obtained acceleration data, wherein the first motion state corresponds to a first activity type of a plurality of activity types, and wherein the first activity type corresponds to walking, running, bicycling, or being in a vehicle;

based on the portable electronic device changing from the first motion state to a second motion state, determining a first motion state change, wherein the second motion state corresponds to a second activity type of the plurality of activity types, and wherein the second activity type corresponds to walking, running, bicycling, or being in a vehicle;

notifying, based on first subscription information, a first application executed on the portable electronic device of the first motion state change to the second motion state, wherein the first subscription information indicates that the first application subscribes to a motion state identification service executed on the portable electronic device, and wherein the first subscription information further indicates types of motion-related information to be sent to the first application;

based on the portable electronic device changing from the second motion state to a third motion state, determining, by the portable electronic device, a second motion state change, wherein the third motion state corresponds to a third activity type of the plurality of activity types;

notifying, by the portable electronic device, based on second subscription information, a second application executed on the portable electronic device of the second motion state change to the third motion state, wherein the second subscription information indicates that the second application subscribes to the motion state identification service executed on the portable electronic device, and wherein the second subscription information further indicates types of motion-related information to be sent to the second application; and
