Patent attributes
A method, system, and computer-readable medium for fall detection of a user are disclosed. In a first aspect, the method comprises determining whether first or second magnitude thresholds are satisfied. If the first or second magnitude thresholds are satisfied, the method includes determining whether an acceleration vector of the user is at a predetermined angle to a calibration vector. In a second aspect, the system comprises a processing system and an application that is executed by the processing system. The application determines whether first or second magnitude thresholds are satisfied. If the first or second magnitude thresholds are satisfied, the application determines whether an acceleration vector of the user is at a predetermined angle to a calibration vector.
