Abstract
The invention relates to sensing device (20) for detecting the wearing position of the device with respect to a user. The device comprises a motion sensor (21) for detecting a motion signal, a height sensor (22) for detecting a height signal and a computing unit (23). The computing unit receives the motion signal and the height signal, and based thereon determines the wearing position of the sensing device with respect to the user. In embodiments, parameters related to movement of the user are extracted from the signals, and the wearing position is detected from these parameters by means of a classification algorithm.
Claims11
A sensing device (20) for detecting a wearing position, the device comprising:
- a motion sensor (21) for detecting a motion signal (52);
- a height sensor (22) for detecting a height signal (53);
- and
- a computing unit (23);
- wherein the motion sensor and the height sensor are communicatively connected to the computing unit, and where the computing unit in response to receiving the motion signal and the height signal determines the wearing position of the sensing device with respect to a user.
A method of detecting a wearing position of a sensing device, the method comprising:
- detecting a motion signal;
- detecting a height signal;
- and
- based on the motion signal and the height signal determining the wearing position of the sensing device with respect to a user.
