Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: storing a plurality of acceleration profiles, each acceleration profile corresponding to a sequence of acceleration forces a mobile device would be subjected to when carried with a user during one of a plurality of activities corresponding to the plurality of acceleration profiles, each acceleration profile being further associated with a geographical location when user input was received to launch one of a plurality of user applications that are associated with the plurality of acceleration profiles, wherein a particular acceleration profile of the acceleration profiles is generated based on analysis of a plurality of devices that are distinct from the mobile device; after the acceleration profiles have been stored, receiving accelerometer data from an accelerometer in the mobile device and determining a geographical location of the mobile device; correlating the accelerometer data and the determined geographical location with the sequence of acceleration forces and the geographical location for one acceleration profile in the plurality of acceleration profiles; and activating the user application of the mobile device that is associated with the correlated one acceleration profile.
