Abstract: The hand which a user is using to hold an electronic device can be determined by analyzing data captured by one or more motion sensors on the device. The curvature to the motion can be indicative of handedness, and processing motion features using a classifier algorithm can enable the determination of handedness with a corresponding confidence. In some embodiments, motion data is collected over a monitoring window, and handedness values are accepted when the handedness value remains the same with at least a minimum confidence for at least a minimum number of window periods. A determination of handedness enables an operating system and/or applications executing on the device to adjust one or more operational or interface aspects in order to make it easier for the user to operate the device using the hand currently holding the device.

Abstract: A device that operates a user interface (UI) that depends on the position of the user's head. The device estimates the head position using motion sensors. The device establishes an initial estimated position of the head and tracks the device's movement from an initial reference position to determine the new position of the head. If the head crosses a position threshold the device may partially re-center the head to avoid large errors.
