Other uses?
Seeing as the accelerometers are being utilized, another algorithm could look for the tell tale signs of other calamities, like:-
1. Speed goes from zero to 70mph and back to zero very quickly.
Action. Inform emergency services, with GPS location, and a pre-record voice message giving your personal details, and/or rare blood type, allergies, etc.
2. Gone from vertical to horizontal while falling at 9.81m/s/s and then remained motionless for five seconds.
Action Bleep loudly, cos they've either dropped it and not noticed, or they might have collapsed, in which case run the possible emergency action when the annoying bleep gets no response.
3. Falls at a rate consistent with being dropped in liquid
Action Text Apple informing them you have voided your warranty.
Perhaps, not too well thought out, but I hope you get the gist of it.
Anyone got any proper ideas?
