Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system and method is provided for detecting and measuring impacts in a wireless device. The wireless device has a processor coupled to a memory and an acoustic transducer. The method comprises acquiring data from the acoustic transducer, the data acquisition including the processor taking samples of an electrical input signal supplied to an input of the processor by the acoustic transducer; saving the acquired data in the memory; detecting whether an impact has occurred; and halting data acquisition after the impact is detected.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method in a wireless device, the method comprising: in response to a trigger indicating that the wireless device is in freefall, activating and acquiring data from an acoustic transducer of the wireless device; determining whether an impact of the wireless device has occurred; and if it is determined that an impact of the wireless device has occurred, storing the data acquired by the acoustic transducer in a memory of the wireless device for subs…
