Abstract
A method for detecting a drop event of an electronic device, may include: obtaining an angular velocity and a proper acceleration of the electronic device based on sensor data received from an inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor of the electronic device; obtaining centripetal acceleration of the electronic device based on the angular velocity, principal moments of inertia of the electronic device, and position of the IMU sensor within the electronic device; based on an acceleration difference between the centripetal acceleration and the proper acceleration, determining whether the electronic device is in a fall state; and based on the electronic device being determined to be in the fall state, providing an analysis result of the drop event.
