Fall detection is a feature that monitors and records falls and impacts of mobile devices based on information collected by the device's accelerometer. This provides information to protect device integrity in various environments. As a result, instances of device mishandling can be identified, allowing for more effective management and reducing costs associated with damage and maintenance.
Prerequisites
Android 5+
Pulsus Agent 4.9.67+
Device with accelerometer
To view information related to device falls, simply access the device list and select a device for which you want fall information. From the details of the selected device, you can navigate to the "Fall Detection" tab.
Clicking on the "Fall Detection" tab will display a list of all detected falls and impacts for the device, showing the following information:
Column Descriptions
Event Date: This shows the date and time the event was detected.
Fall: This indicates whether a fall was detected or if it's still in progress. Each event has a descriptive tooltip for its icon. The three possible states for this field are:
Fall not detected
Device in freefall
Fall detected
Impact: This field uses an icon to show if the device experienced an impact.
Fall Duration: When available, this field displays how long the device was falling.
Intensity: This shows the fall's intensity in "g" units. This value compares to the acceleration of gravity. For example, a fall of "10g" means it was 10 times the acceleration of gravity. To help understand the value, there are three intensity levels, shown in the tooltips:
Light impact intensity: Impacts with an intensity of up to 30g.
Moderate impact intensity: Impacts with an intensity of up to 50g.
Strong impact intensity: Impacts with an intensity above 50g.
Location: This is a link to view the fall/impact location on a map. If the location is approximate, an alert icon will indicate it.
