Smartphone sensors deliver useful information for applications such as indoor and outdoor navigation. An integral part of such applications is the detection of the orientation and movement direction of a smartphone user. Until now, movement direction detection using smartphones typically relies on GPS, which is often not available indoors. Alternatively, other approaches use sensors such as accelerometer and compass instead. These approaches rely on carrying the smartphone in a predefined orientation, or knowing the orientation of the smartphone in relation to the orientation of the user. In this paper, we present an approach to detecting the orientation and movement direction of users carrying smartphones inside the trouser pocket. This approach first determines the orientation of the smartphone's top using compass and orientation sensor. Second, this approach determines the orientation of the smartphone's screen, and the user's movement direction by observing compass and accelerometer during at least two steps the user takes. After these two steps, the approach is capable of continuously aligning smartphone orientation and user orientation. With our approach, the user is free to change direction, movement speed, or to stop moving at all. The smartphone can be placed in the trouser pocket arbitrarily. And the smartphone is free to wobble in the trouser pocket. How well our approach works, is investigated based on experimental measurements.
