Method and system for controlling an electronic device
First Claim
1. A method for controlling an electronic device comprising:
- detecting motion of said electronic device using an initiating device disposed within said electronic device, said initiating device comprising;
a controller;
a position determining component coupled with said controller; and
a motion detecting component coupled with said controller;
determining a geographic location of said electronic device in response to said detecting motion;
comparing said geographic location with a pre-defined zone; and
generating a command for controlling said electronic device in response to said comparing.

Abstract
The present invention is a method and system for controlling an electronic device. In one embodiment, a controller is coupled with a position determining component, and a motion detecting component. In one embodiment, the motion detecting component detects motion of the electronic device and generates a signal to the controller indicating the motion. The controller, in response to the signal, causes the position determining component to determine the geographic location of the electronic device. The geographic location is compared with a pre-defined zone and, in response to the comparing, a command is generated for controlling the electronic device.
