Abstract
A method, a mobile device, and a computer program product for detecting if a mobile device is in an airplane environment. The method includes receiving motion sensor data from a motion sensor and calculating a velocity value based on the motion sensor data. The method further includes determining if the velocity value is greater than a velocity value threshold and in response to determining that the velocity value is greater than the velocity value threshold, a barometric pressure sensor measures barometric pressure data associated with a current environment of the mobile device. The method further includes receiving the barometric pressure data from the barometric pressure sensor and determining if the barometric pressure data matches reference barometric pressure data. In response to determining that the barometric pressure data matches the reference barometric pressure data, an airplane mode of the mobile device is enabled.
