Abstract

Apparatuses, methods, and computer program products are provided to sense orientations pr sequence of orientations, i.e. gestures, of mobile devices. The orientation or sequence of orientations control components and / or functions of the mobile device. Indications may be provided to a user to inform the user that the mobile device is in a particular orientation, or that the user has successfully performed a sequence of orientations corresponding to a functionality of the mobile device. The orientation or sequence of orientations may be performed while the mobile device is in a locked or idle state in order to control components and / or functions of the mobile device. A low energy sensor may activate the mobile device after a particular orientation is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to user interfaces and controls for mobile devices. Background technique [0002] Mobile devices such as mobile terminals used in communication over telecommunication networks are implemented with more and more functions. For example, a mobile terminal can be used for gaming, as a clock or alarm clock, and for other functions. Usually, the functions of the mobile terminal are controlled through user input devices, such as keypads or soft keys. However, input devices may often be locked to prevent inadvertent contact with the mobile terminal from activating functions of the terminal. When the input device of the mobile terminal is locked, in order to use any function of the mobile terminal, the user must first unlock the input device by pressing a series of keys or the like. It may be desirable to allow the use of functions of the mobile terminal without unlocking the input device. [0003] When the mobile terminal move...
