Patent ID: 8064955

Claim:
A communication device comprising: an on-chip gyrating circuit that generates a motion parameter based on motion of the communication device; an RF transceiver that generates an outbound RF signal from an outbound symbol stream, that transmits the outbound RF signal to a remote station of a wireless network, and that generates an inbound symbol stream from an inbound RF signal received from the remote station; and a processing module coupled to process the motion parameter to produce motion data, to convert outbound data into the outbound symbol stream, to convert the inbound symbol stream into inbound data, to compare current motion data to past motion data, to detect when a difference between the current motion data and the past motion data compares unfavorably to a motion change threshold, and to include the motion data in the outbound data when the difference between the current motion data and the past motion data compares unfavorably to the motion change threshold.
