Classification: CPC G  A | IPC A  G

Claim 19:
20. The method of claim 17, further comprising:
determining, by the one or more processors, two or more characteristics of additional acceleration data obtained for another observation window;
determining, by the decision tree algorithm, a probability respectively for one or more activities determined to be occurring within the another observation window based on the two or more characteristics of the additional acceleration data;
determining, among the one or more activities determined to be occurring within the another observation window and by the decision tree algorithm, an activity with a greatest probability of occurring within the another observation window based on the probability respectively determined for the one or more activities, wherein the determining the activity with the greatest probability of occurring includes determining that the activity with the greatest probability of occurring is a type of activity not associated with the consecutive steps;
in response to determining that the activity with the greatest probability of occurring is the type of activity not associated with the consecutive steps, assigning, by the one or more processors, a second class to the observation window; and
incrementing, by the one or more processors, a count of the second class in a database and stopping processing of the additional acceleration data for the another observation window without determining a step count for the another observation window.
