Abstract
A mobile device includes an inertial sensor generating inertia signals based upon motion of the mobile device. The mobile device further includes a high power module that consumes more power than the inertial sensor. A processor is programmed to determine whether the mobile device is being carried by a user who is walking based upon the inertia signals. The processor deactivates the high power module or maintains the high power module in a low power mode based upon a determination that the mobile device is being carried by a user who is walking.
