1. A device comprising:
- a first application;
a second application different from the first application;
a user interface configured to display the first application;
a controller communicatively connected to the user interface, the controller having memory for storing the first application and the second application on the device; and
at least one sensing device communicatively connected to the controller, the at least one sensing device being configured to detect user actions related to movement of the device,the controller being configured to cause the user interface to switch from displaying the first application to displaying the second application in response to the at least one sensing device detecting both an initial motion of the device and a subsequent motion of the device after the initial motion is detected.

10. A method of &
- witching between at least two applications on a device within a three-dimensional space, the device having a controller, a user interface, and at least one sensing device, the method comprising;
providing at least two applications, the at least two include a first application and a second application; activating the first application; displaying the first application on the user interface; detecting an initial motion of the device via the at least one sensing device; detecting a subsequent motion of the device after detecting the initial motion via the at least one sensing device; and in response to detecting the subsequent motion after detecting the initial motion; activating the second application; and displaying the second application on the user interface. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A system comprising:
-
at least two applications; a controller; and at least one sensing device communicatively connected to the controller, the at least one sensing device being configured to detect movement of a device in a three-dimensional space, the at least two applications including a first application associated with at least one of a first movement of the device and a second movement of the device within the three-dimensional space and a second application associated with at least one of a third movement of the device and a fourth movement of the device within the three-dimensional space, and the controller being configured to activate the first application in response to the at least one sensing device detecting the first movement of the device before detecting the second movement of the device associated with the first application, the controller being further configured to switch from the first application and to activate the second application in response to the at least one sensing device detecting the third movement of the device and detecting the fourth movement of the device after the third movement is detected. - View Dependent Claims (18)
