The two new user context algorithms are "In Car" which allows devices to detect when a user is in a car, and "Elevation change" which allows devices to detect when a user is moving to higher or lower ground, such as on stairs or hills. In addition, QuickLogic has enhanced its pedometer algorithm with a new, more advanced feature set that calculates the user's speed, distance traveled, and calories burned. For more details, please see the table below.

"With the addition of these new contexts in the SenseMe 2.4.5 release, QuickLogic is enabling new sets of user-level applications," said Paul Karazuba, director of marketing and media at QuickLogic.

"We continue to expand and improve our algorithm library, ensuring that our customers have access to a broad and growing set of sensor-based features and capabilities."
