USER CONTEXT AND ACTIVITY DETECTION DEVICE AND METHOD

A user context and/or activity detection device envisages a pressure sensor, configured to provide a pressure signal; an electrostatic-charge-variation sensor, configured to provide a charge-variation signal indicative of a variation of electrostatic charge associated with the user; and a processing unit, which is coupled to the pressure sensor and to the electrostatic-charge-variation sensor so as to receive the pressure signal and the charge-variation signal and is configured to jointly process the pressure signal and charge-variation signal for detecting changes in level or altitude.
