1. A handheld computing device comprising:
- a motion detection sensor(s), to detect motion of the computing device in one or more of six (6) fields of motion and to generate an indication of such motion; and
a motion control agent, responsive to motion indications received from the one or more motion detectors, to selectively generate control signals to modify one or more of the operating state and/or the displayed content of the computing device based, at least in part, on the motion indications.

Abstract
A handheld computing device is introduced comprising a motion detection sensor(s) and a motion control agent. The motion detection sensor(s) detect motion of the computing device in one or more of six (6) fields of motion and generate an indication of such motion. The motion control agent, responsive to the indications of motion received from the motion sensors, generate control signals to modify one or more of the operating state and/or the displayed content of the computing device based, at least in part, on the received indications.

18. A storage medium comprising a plurality of executable instructions which, when implemented by a computing device, cause the machine to implement a motion control agent to receive indication(s) that the computing device is being physically manipulated in one or more of six (6) fields of motion and to generate control signals to modifying one or more of the operating state and/or displayed content of the computing device in response to such indication(s).

26. A method for controlling a handheld computing device, the method comprising:
-
receiving indications of motion of the computing device in one or more of six (6) fields of motion from motion detection sensor(s) integrated with the computing device; and
modifying an operating state and/or displayed content of the computing device in response to receiving such indication(s) of motion. - View Dependent Claims (33)
