Abstract
A method and apparatus of determining a straight-driving state or a turning state of a moving object using an acceleration sensor are provided. The method of determining a turning state using a sensor includes: reading sensor output signals of different axes from an acceleration sensor while a moving object is being driven wherein the acceleration sensor is an at least two axes acceleration sensor and detects an acceleration of the moving object; and comparing the read sensor output signals of the different axes and determining whether the moving object is in a straight-driving state or in a turning state.
Claims14
A method of determining a driving state using a sensor, the method comprising:
- reading sensor output signals of different axes from an acceleration sensor while a moving object is being driven wherein the acceleration sensor is an at least two axes acceleration sensor and detects an acceleration of the moving object;
- and
- comparing the read sensor output signals of the different axes and determining whether the moving object is in a straight-driving state or in a turning state.
An apparatus for determining a turning state using a sensor, the apparatus comprising:
- an acceleration sensor including at least two axes to detect an acceleration according to a driving direction of a moving object and outputting sensor output signals of different axes while the moving object is being driven;
- and
- a determination unit comparing the sensor output signals of the different axes, output from the acceleration sensor, and determining whether the moving object is in a straight-driving state or in a left-turning state or in a right-turning state.
