METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETECTING MOVEMENT OF PORTABLE DEVICE BASED ON ACCELEROMETER, PORTABLE DEVICE, AND MACHINE-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for operating a portable device on the basis of an accelerometer.

SOLUTION: An accelerometer attached to a portable device detects a movement of the portable device. In response, a machine-executable code is executed within the portable device to perform one or more predetermined user-configurable operations. The accelerometer of the portable device constantly or periodically monitors the movement of the portable device. As a result, orientations of the portable device prior to the movement and after the movement are determined on the basis of the movement data provided by the accelerometer attached to the portable device.
