Abstract
In some implementations, a handheld mobile device detects possible impact with or from another object, and in response, provides notice of the possible impact and provides information on evasive action to avoid the impact.
Claims18
A method of a handheld mobile device, the method comprising:
- receiving internal motion data that represents a direction and a speed of the handheld mobile device;
- receiving external motion data that represents a direction and a speed of an external object;
- determining a relative motion of the handheld mobile device and the external object from the data that represents the direction and the speed of the handheld mobile device and the data that represents the direction and the speed of external object;
- determining a risk of an impact between the handheld mobile device and the external object in an immediate vicinity from the relative motion of the handheld mobile device and the external object;
- and
- changing output of the handheld device when the risk of the impact between the handheld mobile device and the external object in the immediate vicinity is greater than a predetermined threshold.
3 more elements
A handheld mobile device comprising:
- a determiner of a relative motion of the handheld mobile device and an external object from data that represents a direction and a speed of the handheld mobile device and from data that represents a direction and a speed of the external object;
- a receiver of internal motion data that represents the direction and the speed of the handheld mobile device, the receiver being operably coupled to the determiner;
- a receiver of external motion data that represents the direction and the speed of the external object, the receiver being operably coupled to the determiner;
- a determiner of a risk of an impact between the handheld mobile device and an object in an immediate vicinity from the relative motion of the handheld mobile device and the external object;
- and
- a changer of output of the handheld device when the risk of the impact between the handheld mobile device and the external object in the immediate vicinity is greater than a predetermined threshold.

An apparatus in a handheld mobile device, the apparatus comprising:
- a determiner of a relative motion of the handheld mobile device and an external object from data that represents a direction and a speed of the handheld mobile device and from data that represents a direction and a speed of the external object;
- a receiver of internal motion data that represents the direction and the speed of the handheld mobile device, the receiver being operably coupled to the determiner;
- a receiver of external motion data that represents the direction of the external object and the speed of the external object, the receiver being operably coupled to the determiner;
- a determiner of a risk of an impact between the handheld mobile device and the external object in an immediate vicinity from the relative motion of the handheld mobile device and the external object;
- and
- a changer of output of the handheld device when the risk of the impact between the handheld mobile device and the external object in the immediate vicinity is greater than a predetermined threshold.
