Abstract

This disclosure relates generally to digital devices, and more particularly to system and method for dynamically triggering a digital device within a closed space based on its position. In one embodiment, a method is provided for dynamically triggering the device within the closed space. The method comprises accessing information related to the closed space and multiple sensor parameters, compartmentalizing the closed space into one or more compartments based on the information, determining a position of the device with respect to the one or more compartments based on the sensor parameters, and triggering the device based on the position of the device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A system for dynamically triggering a device within a closed space, the system comprising:
a plurality of sensors configured to capture multiple sensor parameters; and a processor configured to:
access information related to the closed space and the multiple sensor parameters;
compartmentalize the closed space into one or more compartments based on the information;
determine a position of the device with respect to the one or more compartments based on the multiple sensor parameters; and
trigger the device based on the position of the device.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of sensors comprises at least of a GPS sensor, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, and an altimeter.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the multiple sensor parameters comprises at least one of a location of the device, a linear acceleration of the device in each of three coordinate axis, an angular velocity of the device, and an altitude of the device.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to access the information by at least one of accessing the information from a user via a user interface, and accessing the information from a storage medium or from an external source over a communication network.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the closed space comprises an interior space of an automobile, and wherein the information comprises at least one of a make of the automobile, a model of the automobile, a dimension of the automobile, and coordinates of each of a plurality of zones of the automobile.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to compartmentalize by:
creating grid space of the closed space; and identifying the one or more compartments from the grid space.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to determine the position of the device by mapping the position of the device onto the one or more compartments.

8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to determine the position of the device by correlating the multiple sensor parameters.

9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to trigger the device when the position of the device is in at least one of a pre-defined compartment of the one or more compartments.

10 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to trigger the device by at least one of powering the device ON or OFF, providing a notification, activating or deactivating one or more features in the device, activating a customized mode of the device, and activating a regulatory mode of the device.

11 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the one or more features comprises at least one of one or more cellular services, one or more non-cellular signal transmitting services, one or more non-cellular signal receiving services.

12 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to create a user profile based on inputs from a user, wherein user profile comprises customized settings with respect to activation and deactivation of one or more features of the device.

13 . A method for dynamically triggering a device within a closed space, the method comprising:
accessing, via a processor, information related to the closed space and multiple sensor parameters; compartmentalizing, via the processor, the closed space into one or more compartments based on the information; determining, via the processor, a position of the device with respect to the one or more compartments based on the sensor parameters; and triggering, via the processor, the device based on the position of the device.

14 . The method of claim 1 , wherein accessing the information comprises at least one of accessing the information from a user via a user interface, and accessing the information from a database.

15 . The method of claim 1 , wherein compartmentalizing comprises
creating grid space of the closed space; and identifying the one or more compartments from the grid space.

16 . The method of claim 1 , wherein triggering comprises triggering the device when the position of the device is in at least one of a pre-defined compartment of the one or more compartments, and wherein triggering comprises at least one of powering the device ON or OFF, providing a notification, activating or deactivating one or more features in the device, activating a customized mode of the device, and activating a regulatory mode of the device.

17 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising creating a user profile based on inputs from a user, wherein user profile comprises customized settings with respect to activation and deactivation of one or more features of the device.

18 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions for:
accessing information related to a closed space and multiple sensor parameters; compartmentalizing the closed space into one or more compartments based on the information; determining a position of the device with respect to the one or more compartments based on the sensor parameters; and triggering the device based on the position of the device.
