Abstract

Aspects of the disclosure relate to methods, apparatus, and systems for triggering an action while a device is separated from a user and traveling toward a target. A system includes a device and a triggering apparatus. The device is configured to measure a magnetic field strength, a device acceleration, and/or a device angular velocity while the device is separated from a user and traveling toward a target, and send the measured magnetic field strength, the measured acceleration, and/or the measured angular velocity to the triggering apparatus while the device is separated from the user and traveling toward the target. The triggering apparatus is configured to receive the measured magnetic field strength, the measured acceleration, and/or the measured angular velocity from the device, and determine whether to trigger an action based on an analysis of the measured magnetic field strength, the measured acceleration, and/or the measured angular velocity.
