The invention comprises novel input means for portable devices such as smartphones, PDAs, tablets, and the like. One or more sensors of the device are adapted to allow movements of the device itself to represent user actions to some degree of precision. These actions may comprise inter alia translating, rotating, accelerating (linearly or rotationally), shaking, flipping, sliding, various gestures, or the like. Other movements are further possible as will be clear to one skilled in the art. These movements may be used to control such actions as scrolling, paging, zooming, scaling, rotating, translating, opening, closing, and other operations of use in a GUI or other environment, for purposes of manipulating digital objects. |
