Abstract
The present invention is notably directed to computerized method for detecting parking-related events from a mobile device. The latter comprising a pressure sensor and a peak detection module. The method comprises: monitoring pressure sensor data from the pressure sensor, the pressure sensor data representative of a pressure variation over a period of time; and comparing the monitored pressure sensor data with reference pressure data corresponding to pressure variations over time as occurring inside a vehicle when, on the one hand, opening a door and, on the other hand, closing a door of this vehicle, to detect a corresponding pressure variation in the monitored pressure sensor data, in order to determine whether a vehicle has parked or has started, wherein the steps of monitoring and comparing are performed by the peak detection module, in the vehicle. The present invention is further directed to related devices and computer program products.
