METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR OPERATING A PORTABLE DEVICE BASED ON AN ACCELEROMETER

摘要

Methods and apparatuses for operating a portable device based on an accelerometer are described. According to one embodiment of the invention, it is determined whether a portable device is moving using an accelerometer arranged on the portable device. Machine-executable codes are executed in the portable device based on movement data provided by the accelerometer so as to perform one or more preconcerted user-controllable operation(s). Other methods and apparatuses are also described.
