Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: receiving a time value and at least three streams of data sample values from one or more sensors of a wireless communication device (WCD) that is transported by a mobile thing (MT), each data sample value indicative of movement of the WCD at a corresponding time value; recognizing a particular set of data sample values as a reference for defining an orientation of the WCD in a coordinate system; computing reference data based upon the recognition of the particular set, the reference data defining a relationship between each set of subsequent non-reference data sample values and the particular reference set of data sample values in the coordinate system; calculating movement data in the coordinate system of one or more other non-reference data sample values based upon the reference data; and determining a mobile thing motion activity (MTMA) associated with the MT based upon the movement data.
