Abstract
Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, systems and method of disconnecting a wireless communication link. For example, a wireless communication device may include a controller to receive placement-related information indicating a change in one or more placement-related attributes of the wireless communication device, during communication over a wireless communication link, and based on the orientation-related information to disconnect the wireless communication link.
Claims30
An apparatus comprising:
- a controller to receive from one or more sensors placement-related information indicating a change in one or more placement-related attributes of a wireless communication device, during communication over a wireless communication link, and based on said placement-related information to disconnect said wireless communication link, wherein said change in said one or more placement-related attributes comprises at least one change selected from the group consisting of a first change, during a predefined time period, in a velocity of said wireless communication device in a first direction, a second change, during said predefined time period, in a velocity of said wireless communication device in a second direction, perpendicular to said first direction, and a third change, during said predefined time period, in a velocity of said wireless communication device in a third direction, perpendicular to said first and second directions.
An apparatus comprising:
- a controller to receive from one or more sensors placement-related information indicating a change in one or more placement-related attributes of a wireless communication device, during communication over a wireless communication link, said one or more placement-related attributes comprise at least one attribute selected from the group consisting of a pitch of said wireless communication device, a yaw of said wireless communication device, and a roll of said wireless communication device, and based on said placement-related information to select to disconnect said wireless communication link if at least one criterion is met, said at least one criterion is selected from the group consisting of:
- a change of said pitch during a predefined time period is greater than a pitch threshold, and a change of said yaw during the predefined time period is greater than a yaw threshold;
- a change of said roll during the predefined time period is greater than a roll threshold, and said change of said yaw is greater than said yaw threshold;
- and
- said change of said roll is greater than said roll threshold and said change of said pitch is greater than said pitch threshold.
