I think you grossly overestimate how much latency another variable to the decision logic would add. Keep in mind that this is computed onboard, not by bluetooth to the phone or anything. So it can be done by a dedicated chip checking 100 times a second if accelerator value ~= 0G and a proximity sensor detects nothing.
- Piskvorrr 8y agoThe previous comment noted that "phones have [suitable sensors]". Duplicating those in the board would work, but even then - checking every 10 ms will mean a far higher battery drain (and yes, we've just complicated everything at least one order of magnitude, this point still stands).
