Claim 0:
1. A computer system comprising:
a processor; and
a memory device storing instructions executable on the processor to cause the computer system to perform operations comprising:
detecting a repeated change in orientation between a first range of orientation values and a second range of orientation values for the computer system over a period of time;
detecting a temperature for at least a portion of the computer system over the period of time;
determining a user activity currently being performed by a user of the computer system based on the temperature and the repeated change in orientation between the first range of orientation values and the second range of orientation values detected together over the period of time corresponding with a stored data pattern indicative of the user activity, the stored data pattern indicating a pattern of orientation and temperature that, when detected together over the period of time, corresponds with the user activity; and
initiating a settings change in the computer system based on the determined user activity.
