Abstract
A method for detecting a manipulation of a mobile device, comprises the following steps: a) determining, by means of a sensor, the orientation of the vertical direction in a reference frame tied to the mobile device at a plurality of successive instants; b) calculating, for each instant, the angle formed by the orientation of the vertical direction in the reference frame and a reference orientation, and c) detecting a manipulation when the angle exceeds a first threshold. An apparatus for detecting a manipulation of a mobile device comprises: a sensor for measuring the orientation of a vertical direction in a reference frame tied to the mobile device, and a processor connected to the sensor configured or programmed to implement such a method. A mobile phone comprising such an apparatus is also provided.
