MOTION DETECTION METHOD FOR MANAGING RUGGED PLATFORM CONFIGURATIONS

Disclosed methods and systems for dynamically configuring an information handling system may employ or perform operations including receiving motion data from a plurality of system sensors including at least a global positioning system (GPS) receiver and an accelerometer and repeatedly, e.g., every five seconds, identifying a current motion state of the system in real time based on the motion data. The current motion state may be selected from a group of motion states that may include a moving vehicle (MV) motion state, indicating the system is located within a moving vehicle, and a stationary motion state, indicating the system is stationary or substantially stationary. A configuration of the system may then be tuned in accordance with the current motion state. Tuning the system configuration may include configuring the system in accordance with a safe driving configuration responsive to identifying the MV motion state as the current motion state.
