Electronic Device with a Motion Sensor

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20250093642 titled 'Electronic Device with a Motion Sensor

Original Abstract Submitted

in a head-mounted device, position and motion sensors may be included to determine the orientation of the head-mounted device. a motion sensor may experience error that accumulates over time, sometimes referred to as drift. to mitigate the effect of drift in a motion sensor, a reference orientation for the motion sensor may be reset when a qualifying motion is detected. the qualifying motion may be detected using one or more criteria such as a total change in angular orientation or rate of change in angular orientation. the reference orientation for the motion sensor may also be reset when a duration of time elapses without a qualifying motion being detected.
