Based on the multidimensional acceleration data (1102; 1112), at least one correction quantity (314) may be determined taking into account a rotation of the local coordinate system (306) relative to the global coordinate system (300) during the multidimensional motion. The speed (318; 1118) of the multidimensional motion may be determined based on an integration of the multidimensional acceleration data (320; 1102; 1112) and in consideration of the at least one correction quantity (314).en621patentEP50965
