The following data is captured from the magnetic sensor of a device. This data has a time factor. The device is at times in motion and other times still
How can one detect (using formula) if there is a significant change in the magnetic field so as to differentiate between the device being in motion and the device being still.
Columns are as follows (x signal, y signal, z signal, timestamp) Note: we may combine x,y,z into one field using a formula sqrt(x^2 + y^2 + z^2)

Since we don't have any information on the orientation of the device, I only looked at the norm of the magnetic field. Here is a plot:
As you can see, there are intervals over which the norm of the magnetic field is relatively constant (from 50 to 100 and around 130).
EDIT
Given we have not much additional information on the underlying physical process, the most reasonable thing to do seems to me to just look at some moving variances (see for instance here, here, here, here). What I mean is that you fix some window timeframe and look at how much the data oscillates in that window. If the oscillation is sufficiently low, then the field you are measuring is almost constant in norm, which could mean that you are almost stationary.
