Gravity sensor (G-sensor) principle and application

With the hot sales of Wii game consoles, the electronics industry has also begun to pay attention to the application and market demand of MEMs (micro-electromechanical systems). More and more products require acceleration kinetic energy detection, such as game consoles. Because the acceleration kinetic energy detection (G-Sensor) function is added, the game can be operated with the swing of the body, which can give people a more immersive feeling.

Of course, the application of G-Sensor is not limited to this. It can also be used in mobile phones. HTC's Touch Diamond is a good example. The built-in G-Sensor allows the phone to automatically adjust the position of pictures when browsing photos as the body is upright or horizontal. It can also be built into notebook computers to detect the horizontal or height difference of the notebook body. When it reaches a certain level, it will automatically separate the head from the disk to protect the hard drive.
