Abstract
In a method for determining an idle state: acceleration values are ascertained as a function of three spatial directions; a comparison value is generated from the acceleration values for each of the three spatial directions; each of the comparison values is compared with a threshold value; an interrupt signal is generated if the comparison value is less than the threshold value for each of the three spatial directions; and an electronic component is switched from a power saving state to an operating state as a function of the interrupt signal.
