Abstract

The present invention is notably directed to a computerized method for deriving step counts from a hardware component (115 - 120) for a consumer good (4, 10) carried or worn by a user. The hardware component comprises a pressure sensor (116) and a detection module (140), the detection module configured to access data (116D) from the pressure sensor. The method comprising, at the detection module (140): sampling (S20) pressure sensor data from the pressure sensor, the pressure sensor data representative of temporal pressure oscillations; identifying (S30), from the sampled pressure sensor data, a signal corresponding to pressure oscillations characteristics of pressure waves induced by steps taken by the user (3) of the consumer good (10), while travelling on foot; and deriving (S38) a step count from the identified signal. The present invention is further directed to hardware components (115 - 120) and computer program products, configured to perform steps such as described above.
