- Expands broad set of user context algorithms available to mobile device OEMs/ODMs
- Includes new "In a Car" and "Elevation Change" user contexts, and adds advanced pedometer feature set
- Optimized for QuickLogic's ArcticLink 3 S2 150uW programmable sensor hub platform
QuickLogic Corporation (
The two new user context algorithms are "In Car" which allows devices to detect when a user is in a car, and "Elevation change" which allows devices to detect when a user is moving to higher or lower ground, such as on stairs or hills. In addition, QuickLogic has enhanced its pedometer algorithm with a new, more advanced feature set that calculates the user's speed, distance traveled, and calories burned. For more details, please see the table below.

Algorithm Applications User Benefits
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Car -- User Experience -- Power down of wireless
-- Navigation components such as Wi-Fi to
-- Intelligent Power save power
Management -- Can enable car applications
on phone, such as GPS
navigation and music player
-- Car context can be used to
temporarily disable programs
such as fitness to save power
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elevation Change -- Health and Wellness -- Caloric impact of elevation
-- Fitness changes in health and wellness
-- Indoor Navigation programs can be counted
-- Indoor navigation requires
building floor data -
'elevation change' enables
applications to understand the
user's movement between floors
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Advanced Pedometer -- Health and wellness -- A basic step counter is the
-- Fitness 'ground floor' of determining
-- Indoor navigation the users fitness level
-- A differentiation of walking
and running can provide a more
accurate fitness level when
caloric burn is calculated

"With the addition of these new contexts in the SenseMe 2.4.5 release, QuickLogic is enabling new sets of user-level applications," said Paul Karazuba, director of marketing and media at QuickLogic. "We continue to expand and improve our algorithm library, ensuring that our customers have access to a broad and growing set of sensor-based features and capabilities."
The new algorithms are available immediately. For more information, please visit http://www.quicklogic.com/technologies/sensor-algorithms/senseme/
