ABSTRACT:
A method for detecting steps taken by a person in locomotion on foot having a step-detection apparatus carried on the person. The step-detection apparatus generates a signal in response to locomotion of the person. The signal is compared to the timing characteristics of human gait to identify steps taken. The step-detection apparatus can be carried in a front pants pocket of the person.
