Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for interfacing with a user based on the detection of a state, such as a stationary state, of the apparatus and providing a response based on the state of the apparatus are described herein. An example method of interfacing with a user includes: detecting a user in proximity of an apparatus; entering a first mode of the apparatus responsive to detection of the user in proximity; receiving motion data from one or more sensors of the apparatus responsive to movement of the apparatus; and detecting a stationary state of the apparatus based on the motion data; and entering a second mode responsive to detection of the stationary state.
