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.

34. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a controller;
a motion agent configured to communicate with the controller; and
a sensor configured to communicate with the motion agent, the sensor being operative to detect motion of a device having a display and provide one or more signals to the motion agent in response to the detected motion, wherein the signals result in at least partially altering content to be displayed on the display based at least in part on the detected motion. - View Dependent Claims (35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41)

42. A method, comprising:
-
determining if a device having a display has been placed in motion;
providing one or more signals to a motion control device if the device has been placed in motion; and
altering content to be displayed on the display if the device has been placed in motion, wherein the content is altered based at least in part on the motion. - View Dependent Claims (43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48)
