Abstract

A user-mountable electronic device includes a housing, an accelerometer located within the housing, and at least one processor located within the housing. The accelerometer measures acceleration of the user-mountable electronic device and is configured to generate an output in response to detecting acceleration of the user-mountable electronic device that is greater than a minimum acceleration threshold. The at least one processor controls operation of the user-mountable electronic device. The at least one processor is configured to receive the output generated by the accelerometer and, in response thereto, to transition from a dormant or standby state of the user-mountable electronic device to an active state of the user-mountable electronic device.
