Claim Text:
1. A motion aware mobile device comprising: a processor; a motion context logic implemented in the processor to determine a motion context of the device, the motion context automatically identifying absent user input a geographic location of the device, a type of user activity, a user's environment, and a relative location of the device with respect to the user's body based in part on data from a motion sensor, the relative location indicating that the device is in an in-use location on the user's body based on the data from the motion sensor or a not-in-use location based on an orientation of the device, wherein the type of user activity identified in the motion context includes distinguishing types of user activities selected from among: standing, sitting, walking, jogging; a context-based action logic to automatically manage the device based on the motion context via a context-based action logic engine; and a gesture command logic to identify a motion command and to automatically determine an appropriate action based on the context-based action logic engine, the identification automatically tightened or loosened to change a definition of a gesture command based on the motion context of the device.
