Different sensors in smartphone
Accelerometer
 Capacitive type hardware sensor
 Measures the acceleration force in m/s2 that is applied to a device on all three
physical axes
 Common uses like motion detection (shake, tilt, etc.)
Microstructure of Accelerometer
Gyroscope
 Measures angular rate using Coriolis effect
 Similar to accelerometer
 Measures a device's rate of rotation in rad/s around each of the three physical
axes (x, y, and z)
 Common uses like rotation detection (spin, turn, etc.)
Gyroscope Structure
IR based proximity sensor
 Working principle
 Obstacle Sensing Circuit or IR Sensor Circuit
 common use phone position during a call
Common uses of other sensors
 Ambient light sensors used for Controlling screen brightness.
 The digital compass that's usually based on a sensor called magnetometer
provides mobile phones with a simple orientation in relation to the Earth's
magnetic field.
 As a result, your phone always knows which way is North so it can auto rotate
your digital maps depending on your physical orientation.
 Fingerprint sensor changed the smartphone security
