Abstract: A processing apparatus including one or more processors and memory determines a first context of a first user at a first location in a physical space based on sensor measurements from one or more sensors of a set of one or more devices coupled to the first user and detects movement of the first user to a second location in the physical space based on sensor measurements from one or more sensors of the devices. The processing apparatus determines a second context of the first user at the second location based on sensor measurements from one or more sensors of the devices and generates, based on the first context, the second context, and the movement of the user from the first location to the second location, a first mapping of the physical space that includes information corresponding to a spatial relationship between the first context and the second context.

Abstract: A system, computer readable storage medium and method for calibrating sensors of a human interface device having a first accelerometer and a second accelerometer. The method includes calibrating the first accelerometer, calibrating the second accelerometer, and calibrating a combined-sensor output that includes contributions from the first accelerometer and the second accelerometer to generate combined-sensor conversion values. The method further includes adjusting the calibration of the first accelerometer in accordance with the combined-sensor conversion values.

Abstract: A processing apparatus, optionally integrated into a device having a plurality of sensors including a magnetometer, generates navigational state estimates for the device. The processing apparatus has a magnetometer-assisted mode of operation in which measurements from the magnetometer are used to estimate the navigational state and an alternate mode of operation in which the navigational state of the device is estimated without measurements from the magnetometer. For a respective time period, the processing apparatus operates in the alternate mode of operation. During the respective time period, the processing apparatus collects a plurality of magnetometer measurements and determines whether they meet measurement-consistency requirements. If the measurements meet the measurement-consistency requirements, the processing apparatus transitions to the magnetometer-assisted mode of operation. If the measurements do not meet the measurement-consistency requirements, the processing apparatus continues to operate in the alternate mode of operation.

Abstract: A computer system stores calibration information corresponding to respective sets of sensor measurements associated with respective operating environments. After storing, in a first data structure, calibration information for a first operating environment, the system determines a current operating environment of the device. When the current operating environment of the device is consistent with the first operating environment and the calibration information for the first operating environment meets predefined measurement diversity criteria, the system calibrates at least one sensor for the first operating environment using the stored calibration information for the first operating environment. When the current operating environment of the device is inconsistent with the first operating environment, the system excludes the stored calibration information for the first operating environment when calibrating one or more sensors for the current operating environment.
