Methods, apparatuses and computer program products for determining speed of movement of a device and device pose classification

An apparatus comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory including computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following:
• receive one or more determined acceleration values during one or more time periods in response to detected cyclic motion of a user moving with the apparatus;
• transform the acceleration values to one or more corresponding frequency components associated with the acceleration values;
• and
• determine a speed of the cyclic motion of the user based in part on comparing a spectrum of the frequency components to one or more spectrums of distribution associated with respective one or more speeds of training data.

A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:

• program code instructions configured to cause receipt of one or more determined acceleration values during one or more time periods in response to detected cyclic motion of a user moving with an apparatus;
• program code instructions configured to transform the acceleration values to one or more corresponding frequency components associated with the acceleration values;
• and
• program code instructions configured to determine a speed of the cyclic motion of the user based in part on comparing a spectrum of the frequency components to one or more spectrums of distribution associated with respective one or more speeds of training data.
