ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR IDENTIFYING MOVING DIRECTION OF ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND OPERATING METHOD FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18463599 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR IDENTIFYING MOVING DIRECTION OF ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND OPERATING METHOD FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device that includes a geomagnetic sensor and a posture sensor. The device also has a processor that can obtain magnetic field vectors from the geomagnetic sensor and posture information from the posture sensor. The processor corrects the magnetic field vectors based on the posture information to achieve a desired posture for the device. It then identifies interference vectors based on the corrected magnetic field vectors and a magnetic north vector. By rotating a straight line connecting the magnetic field measurement points, the processor determines a rotation angle where the extending lines of the interference vectors converge at one point. The traveling direction of the device is identified based on this rotation angle.
