Apparatus and method for classifying a motion of a movable personal appliance

The present disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for classifying the movement of a mobile personal device (11) having an inertial sensor (13). The apparatus (10) may have, among other things, a movement pattern recognition device (14) configured to discriminate between two or more movement patterns (15, 15, 15,..., 15) contained in a set (15) of movements. patterns of the mobile personal device (11), and an interface (16) for providing at least one inertial sensor data (17, 17, 17,..., 17) from the inertial sensor (13) to the pattern recognition device of movement. (14), representing at least one piece of data from the inertial sensor (17, 17, 17,..., 17) a movement of the mobile personal device (11). The movement pattern recognition device (14) may have a neural network (18) configured to receive at least one data from the inertial sensor (17, 17, 17,..., 17) and to map the at least one data of the inertial sensor (17, 17, 17,..., 17) to at least one movement pattern (15, 15, 15,..., 15) contained in the set (15) of movement patterns, where the at least one mapped movement pattern (15, 15, 15,..., 15) is associated with at least one class member (101A, 101B, 102A, 102B,..., nA, nB) of one or more classes (101, 102, 103, 104) such that at least one member of the class (101A, 101B, 102A, 102B,... , nA, nB) is selected based on the movement of the mobile personal device (11).
