Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a device configured to detect whether the device is in a bag or being taken out of the bag. The device determines whether the device is in a bag or being taken out of the bag based on motion measurements generated by a motion sensor and electrostatic charge measurements generated by an electrostatic charge sensor. By using both distance measurements and motion measurements, the device is able to detect whether the device is in the bag or being taken out of the bag with high efficiency, accuracy, and robustness.
