System for Adaptively Orienting a Display Image on a Device
First Claim
1. A system for adaptively orienting a display image on a device for presenting data acquired via one or more cables connected to a particular side of said device, comprising:
- a sensor for detecting orientation of said device and providing a device orientation representative signal indicating whether said device is in a first orientation or a second orientation substantially different to said first orientation;
a display screen for presenting display images on said device;
a display generator for automatically generating a display image on said display screen oriented to be upright in said first and second orientations of said device, in response to said orientation representative signal; and
a command processor for adaptively selecting functions assigned to user selectable buttons positioned on both sides of said display screen of said device, said functions assigned to each user selectable button changing as said device moves between said first and second orientations based on a position of said user selectable button relative to the display image.

Abstract
A system adaptively orients a display image on a device for presenting data acquired via one or more cables connected to a particular side of the device. The system includes a sensor for detecting orientation of the device and providing a device orientation representative signal indicating whether the device is in a first orientation or a second orientation substantially different to the first orientation. A display screen presents display images on the device. A display generator automatically generates a display image on the display screen oriented to be upright in the first and second orientations of the device, in response to the orientation representative signal. A command processor adaptively selects functions assigned to user selectable buttons positioned on both sides of the display screen of the device, in response to the orientation representative signal.
