According to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, stationary detection mechanism 608 can include a state machine. An exemplary state machine is shown in FIG. 8. Therein, the ACTIVE state is, in this example, the default state during which the 3D pointing device 400 is moving and being used to, e.g., provide inputs to a user interface. The 3D pointing device 400 can enter the ACTIVE state on power-up of the device as indicated by the reset input. If the 3D pointing device 400 stops moving, it may then enter the INACTIVE state. The various state transitions illustrated in FIG. 8 can be triggered by any of a number of different criteria including, but not limited to, data output from one or both of the rotational sensors 502 and 504, data output from the accelerometer 506, time domain data, frequency domain data or any combination thereof. State transition conditions will be generically referred to herein using the convention “ConditionstateA→stateB”. For example, the 3D pointing device 400 will transition from the ACTIVE state to the INACTIVE state when conditionactive→inactive occurs. For the sole purpose of illustration, consider that conditionactive→inactive can, in an exemplary 3D pointing device 400, occur when mean and/or standard deviation values from both the rotational sensor(s) and the accelerometer fall below first predetermined threshold values for a first predetermined time period. When in the ACTIVE state, data received from the motion sensors (e.g., rotational sensor(s) and/or accelerometer) can be separated into first data associated with intentional movement introduced by a user and second data associated with unintentional movement introduced by a user (tremor) using one or more processing techniques such as linear filtering, Kalman filtering, Kalman smoothing, state-space estimation, Expectation-Maximization, or other model-based techniques. The first data can then be further processed to generate an output associated with the intended movement of the handheld device (e.g., to support cursor movement) while the second data can be used as tremor input for, e.g., user identification, as described in more detail below.
Time-Domain AR coefficients (e.g. RPLR or iterative INVFREQZ method) Normalized autocorrelation lags, AR coefficients (e.g. RPLR), Keenan, Tsay, or Subba Rao tests, features of the pure distribution of the time series, time reversal invariance, asymmetric decay of the autocorrelation function Frequency- PSD of rotational sensors - features (e.g. peak frequencies, Domain moments), PSD coefficients PSD of accelerometers - features (e.g. peak frequencies, moments), PSD coefficients Cross-spectral analysis of rotational sensor data with accelerometer data Higher-Order HOS (Bispectrum, trispectrum) - exploit Statistics non-gaussianity of tremor Hinich statistical tests Volterra series modeling Time- Parameters extracted from STFT, Wigner-Ville Frequency and/or (Choi-Williams) TF distributions.
