Abstract: A method for calibrating a magnetometer of an electronic device can include detecting a change in a magnetism of the electronic device, collecting a first magnetic field data from the magnetometer at sampling frequency of at least 1 hertz, generating an elliptical calibration model based at least partially on the collected first magnetic field data, collecting a second magnetic field data from the magnetometer, and fitting the collected second magnetic field data to a sphere using the elliptical calibration model.

Abstract: Ear buds may have optical proximity sensors and accelerometers. Control circuitry may analyze output from the optical proximity sensors and the accelerometers to identify a current operational state for the ear buds. The control circuitry may also analyze the accelerometer output to identify tap input such as double taps made by a user on ear bud housings. Samples in the accelerometer output may be analyzed to determine whether the samples associated with a tap have been clipped. If the samples have been clipped, a curve may be fit to the samples. Optical sensor data may be analyzed in conjunction with potential tap input data from the accelerometer. If the optical sensor data is ordered, a tap input may be confirmed. If the optical sensor data is disordered, the control circuitry can conclude that accelerometer data corresponds to false tap input associated with unintentional contact with the housing.

Abstract: In some implementations, a mobile device can analyze motion sensor data and proximity sensor data during a voice call to determine whether the mobile device is on a stationary object or worn on a user's body (e.g., in the lap or pocket of a user of the mobile device). The mobile device can adjust the transmit power level of the telephony transceiver during the voice call based on the determination.

Abstract: A modular electronic device system that can include a computing device in electronic communication with an input device. Various types of sensor contained in either or both of the computing device and input device are used to determine orientation and hinge angle between the computing device and input device. Input settings can be changed according to the data from the various sensors. The input device can also include an elongated tail that is configured to attach to the computing device. The elongated tail can allow multiple physical configurations for ease of use.

Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for head dimension estimation for spatial audio applications. In an embodiment, a method comprises: obtaining, using one or more processors of an audio headset worn on a user's head, acceleration samples and rotation rate samples over a specified time window while the user rotates their head, the acceleration samples and rotation rate samples measured using motion sensors in the headset; determining a function that relates the acceleration samples to the rotation rate samples; comparing the function to a plurality of reference functions, where each reference function corresponds to a different head dimension in a nominal range of head dimensions; and estimating a dimension of the user's head based on the comparing.

Abstract: Performing a combination localization technique includes determining a target localization parameter, selecting a combination localization technique in accordance with the target localization parameter, including a first localization technique associated with a first power error time profile, and a second localization technique associated with a second power error time profile. A device location is determined using the first localization technique for a first time period in accordance with the first power error time profile, and an updated device location is determined using the second localization technique in response to a triggering condition. A further updated device location is determined using the first localization technique following the first time period based on the updated device location. At least one of a combined energy value and a combined maximum error rate for the combination localization technique satisfies the target localization parameter.
