Summary:A system and method for changing the weighting accelerometer filtering based upon motion sensor measurements. Using measurements from motion sensors, one or more features can be extracted. This information is used by an algorithm to assign a most appropriate test feature class to be the class of the state of motion at a particular moment in time. This information is used to provide more accurate positioning information, and can also be used to power down the motion sensor at various times, providing an improvement in battery efficiency.
