MOVEMENT-BASED INTERFACES FOR PERSONAL MEDIA DEVICE

摘要

A media device including a least one sensor that generates a sensor signal based on at least one of a position, orientation, and movement of the media device. The media device also includes a processor that receives the sensor signal and controls one or more operations of the media device based at least in part on the sensor signal. The media device may include a database or data store having one or more known movement patterns where each movement pattern is associated with an operation of the media device. The processor compares the sensor signal with the one or more known movement patterns to determine the associated operation of the media device. The comparing function may include employing a pattern recognition algorithm or technique.
