After hitting “Start”, wait about 3 seconds before walking.  During this 3 seconds, the 

module will determine its orientation on the body.  There can be errors if the user 

does not wait 3 seconds before walking. 

 

Once started, “Start” will toggle to “Stop” 

2.

 

Start walking  

 

Preferably start in open skies 

 

Walk outdoors  

3.

 

For best results start the test in open sky where an accurate initial location can be determined 

using the iPhone’s GPS.  Starting in open sky with GPS will automate user step scaling and 

starting location.   Contact our FAE Team at 

[email protected] if your 

application will not have any GPS access.

 

4.

 

Continue walking  outdoors for about 1 minute to allow for a good initial location and 

automatic stride length learning.  

5.

 

Test by walking outdoors, indoors, in areas where GPS signal is weak or not available to test 

the DOM DST module and algorithm capabilities. 

6.

 

At end of walk press “Stop” Direction of Motion service. 

 

In the Direction of Motion Service, The DOM algorithms track and traces the user’s path when walking 

forwards, backwards and even when walking side to side.  

 

Although the DOM algorithms include running, due to the processor processing power limitations of the 

current DOM DST module running will not track accurately. 

 

Crawling and other dynamic motion have limited support in the current algorithms but can be 

developed in the future according to customer requirements.   

 

3.7

 

Stop Direction of Motion Service 

 

At end of walk press “Stop”. 

It is important to note that once you leave the Direction of Motion Service page, by hitting the back 

button or the BLE scan icon, the App will not save the map or the data.  If you’d like to save the run, take 

a screen shot and/or save the session log by selecting “Export” on the right top corner of the map.  This 

will allow you to play back the run in Playback mode detailed in the Playback Section.
