Abstract:
1. A method, at a computing device that includes a first processor operatively coupled to a second processor, comprising: determining by the second processor that an accelerometer reading of the computing device is above a threshold, the threshold based on a combination of a static value and a dynamically-determined value, wherein the dynamically-determined value is based on a recent history of accelerometer readings; waking up the first processor from an inactive mode of operation to an active mode of operation, in response to the determining by the second processor; determining by the first processor in response to waking up that a gyroscope reading of the computing device is substantially similar to a predefined movement gesture, wherein the predefined movement gesture comprises a second movement that occurs within a predetermined time period after a first movement; and launching a software application, in response to the determining by the first processor.
