Abstract

An activity tracking device, such as a step-counting device includes an interface configured to receive one or more acceleration signals and signal processing circuitry. The signal processing circuitry generates an indication of condition of an accelerometer, such as a body position of the accelerometer, based on one or more accelerometer signals, generates an event signal, such as an event flag, based on one or more accelerometer signals and the indication of the condition of the accelerometer, and generates an activity signal, such as step flag based on the event signal, the indication of the condition of the accelerometer and one or more acceleration signals. The signal processing circuitry may generate a noise signal based on one or more acceleration signals and generate the activity signal based on the noise signal.
