Abstract
A multiple proximity sensors based electronic device is disclosed. The electronic device includes a plurality of proximity sensors, which are configured to iteratively capture at least one proximity parameter at predefined time intervals. A processor within the electronic device analyzes the at least one proximity parameter and determines, for each of the plurality of proximity sensors, a rate of change of the associated at least one proximity parameter in response to the analyzing. The processor further computes a stability factor for the electronic device based on the determined rate of change of the associated at least one proximity parameter for each of the plurality of proximity sensors. The processor further compares the stability factor with a stability threshold and determines a fall probability of the electronic device based on the comparison.
