Angular and linear movement detection and compensation for user equipment

A user equipment (UE), comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors operatively coupled to the memory, the memory and the one or more processors configured to:
• determine one or more grip points associated with the UE based at least in part on a grip type;
• estimate an axis associated with an angular motion based at least in part on the grip type and the one or more grip points;
• determine, based at least in part on the axis, the angular motion using at least one gyroscope of the UE;
• adjust at least one measurement from at least one sensor that is associated with the UE and used to measure relative position, based at least in part on the angular motion, wherein the relative position is with respect to an external object to be classified as animate or inanimate;
• and
• classify the external object as animate or inanimate based at least in part on the at least one measurement after adjusting.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions for wireless communication, the set of instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a user equipment (UE), cause the UE to:
• determine one or more grip points associated with the UE based at least in part on a grip type;
• estimate an axis associated with an angular motion based at least in part on the grip type and the one or more grip points;
• determine, based at least in part on the axis, the angular motion using at least one gyroscope of the UE;
• adjust at least one measurement from at least one sensor that is associated with the UE and used to measure relative position, based at least in part on the angular motion, wherein the relative position is with respect to an external object to be classified as animate or inanimate;
• and
• classify the external object as animate or inanimate based at least in part on the at least one measurement after adjusting.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• means for determining one or more grip points associated with the apparatus based at least in part on a grip type;
• means for estimating an axis associated with an angular motion based at least in part on the grip type and the one or more grip points;
• means for determining, based at least in part on the axis, the angular motion using at least one gyroscope;
• means for adjusting at least one measurement from at least one sensor that is associated with the apparatus and used to measure relative position, based at least in part on the angular motion, wherein the relative position is with respect to an external object to be classified as animate or inanimate;
• and
• means for classifying the external object as animate or inanimate based at least in part on the at least one measurement after adjusting.
