Abstract

Methods and systems are disclosed for detecting physical interaction with an electronic device. Gyroscopic data may be received from gyroscopic sensors incorporated within the electronic device. A set of frequency bands may be defined for each axis of the plurality of axes. A frequency in which each value of the gyroscopic data is included in the gyroscopic data may be determined. The values associated with each frequency of a frequency band may be aggregated to generate a magnitude for the frequency band. A probability may be determined using the modified magnitude associated with each frequency band. If the probability exceeds a threshold then an indication that the user is physically interacting with the electronic device may be transmitted to a remote device.
