Common features

  • The screen acts as a viewing window
that the user moves to explore the map/object/document.
  • Zoom in/out by moving the terminal closer/away.
  • The reference point can be changed
by pressing a single button while moving the terminal.

Map browsing

  • Rotate the terminal for best visibility
while the map stays horizontal.
  • Double-clicking selects a place/service on the map
and/or pop-up a contextual menu.

Motion-based browsing of a 3D object

  • Double-clicking selects part of the object
and/or pop-up a contextual menu.

Browsing multiple documents (i.e. emails)

  • Jump to the previous/next document
by pressing a button while moving the terminal closer/away.

Gaming Gaming

Motion-based maze game

  • The terminal’s movements make the red ball to roll down and
progress through the make.
  • Jumping to pass holes is done applying quick bottom-up movements.

Motorbike race

  • Rotate the terminal left or right to turn. Like for a real motorbike, the
effect is proportional to the inclination.
  • Push or pull the terminal to accelerate or to brake.
  • Zoom in/out is done just by moving the display closer or away.

3D (Doom-like)

  • Move the terminal in all the directions to navigate into the game and
reduce the amount of buttons to handle.
  • Interfacing configurable by the user.
For example, tilting forward/backward the terminal results:
  • either in looking down/up
  • either in going forward/backward

Location Based Services Location Based Services

Context-based services

LIS3L02 can help GPS systems to record movements and understand the location and pointing direction of the user.

Digital compass compensation

Digital compasses have to be compensated for non horizontality:

Requires a 3 axis magnetic sensor for X, Y, and Z Use a tilt sensor to measure roll (θ θ θ θ) and pitch (φ φ φ φ)

LIS3L02 can do it with high resolution all over the sphere. This “spherical” compass introduce a world of new applications, like navigation assistance while in the pocket.

When people run, there is Z-axis movement to determine how many steps have been taken and then multiply the number of steps taken by the average stride length. With the distance known and the weight of persons, we can determine the amount of calorie burnt

Conclusions Conclusions

  • MEMS technology allows the production of a new generation of

cheaper, smaller, high performance and high reliability sensors

  • System-in Package approach is giving flexibility and more

choices for our customers (# of axis vs output mode)

  • ST is able to offer a competitive accelerometer and has a clear

product roadmap well supported by a good patent portfolio.

  • Other MEMS sensors are under development : absolute

Piezoresistive pressure sensor, Gyroscope and digital microphone.
