Week 6 In Class Progress

In class today, the programmers worked on coming up with conditions that define what position the device is in. Some of the conditions that need to be tested are listed below.

• Static Postures
• Falling (an unintentional transition to the lying position)
• Standing
• Sitting
• Bending
• Lying
• Both linear acceleration and angular velocity are used to determine whether or not a transition is intentional
• Dynamic Transitions
• Walking on stairs
• Walking
• Sitting
• Jumping
• Laying down
• Running
• Running on the stairs
• Quickly sitting up and down
• Quickly sitting down in a reclined position
• Falling
• Forward
• Backward
• Right
• Left
• Inclined fall (down the stairs)
• Do height and weight have an effect on the acceleration values?
• yes, however, the program will be using relative distances between values and thus the actual values themselves can be different
