ST accelerometers track activity of objects and people before reporting to mother

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND: STMicroelectronics announced that its accelerometer is helping to track motion in the innovative Mother and Motion Cookies from Sen.se, a designer of smart connected devices for the Internet of Things.

Sen.se's Mother is a caring, adaptable, and programmable device that instantly turns objects into smart and understanding things. Sen.se Mother is the head of a family of as many as 24 small connected sensors - the Motion Cookies - that blend into your daily life to make it more serene, healthy, and pleasurable.

Motion Cookies, the first essential members of the ever-growing Mother family, use an ST ultra-low-power, high-performance "nano" LIS3DH accelerometer to detect and understand the movements of objects and send the data to the Mother.

The small and slick Motion Cookies, which can be attached to almost anything, leverage the smart embedded functions and advanced power saving of ST's accelerometer. The result: Sen.se's ultra-efficient Motion Cookies can store 10 days' worth of data when they are away from the Mother, and have a battery life of a year, or several months in mobility.

ST has its MEMS sensors enabling motion-activated user interfaces in many popular consumer smart devices, with leadership in all major mobile operating systems.
