Stabilizing Orientation Values Of An Electronic Device
DRIVE
March 5, 2014
Disclosed are methods and systems for stabilizing orientation values of an electronic device, the orientation values representing an orientation of the electronic device, the method comprising: obtaining first sensor readings from a first sensor; obtaining second sensor readings from a second sensor; evaluating the first sensor readings and the second sensor readings to determine whether the electronic device is stationary; locking the orientation values when the electronic device is stationary; collecting at least one of further first sensor readings and further second sensor readings while the orientation values are locked; determining whether the orientation of the electronic device is changing by more than a threshold amount based on one or more of the further first sensor readings and the further second sensor readings; and unlocking the orientation values for updating based on the further sensor readings when the orientation of the electronic device is changing by more than the threshold amount.
