Determine wearing position of a wearable device

A method for determining a wearing position of a wearable device, comprising:

• receiving motion data from the wearable device associated with an individual, wherein the motion data comprises a first data segment and a second data segment, the first data segment associated with walking, and the second data segment associated with non-walking,
• wherein the first data segment associated with walking are indicative of first activities performed with both a dominant hand and a non-dominant hand of the individual at a same time, and
• wherein the second data segment associated with non-walking are indicative of second activities performed using only the dominant hand of the individual;
• determining first characteristic data associated with the first data segment and second characteristic data associated with the second data segment;
• and
• determining, by a computing device, the wearing position of the wearable device associated with the individual based on the first characteristic data and a match between the second characteristic data and an activity signature associated with a time of day.

A method for determining a wearing position of a wearable device, comprising:

• receiving motion data from the wearable device associated with an individual,
• wherein the motion data comprises a first data segment and a second data segment,
• wherein the first data segment being associated with a first activity performed using a dominant side and a non-dominant side of the individual at a same time,
• wherein the second data segment being associated with a second activity, the second activity being associated with a dominant hand of the individual, and performed using both hands of the individual, and
• wherein the second data segment are indicative of second activities performed using only the dominant side of the individual;
• determining first characteristic data associated with the first data segment and second characteristic data associated with the second data segment;
• and
• determining, by a computing device, the wearing position of the wearable device associated with the individual based on the first characteristic data and a match between the second characteristic data and an activity signature associated with a time of day, wherein the wearing position indicates whether the individual is left-handed or right-handed.
