DEVICE ROTATION FOR SIM SELECTION
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A device configured to select an operating configuration of the device in accordance with an orientation of the device, the device comprising:
- at least one sensor configured to sense the orientation of the device; and
a processing portion configured to;
determine that the sensed orientation is one of a first orientation and a second orientation; and
configure the device to an operating configuration associated with the sensed orientation, wherein;
the device is configured to a first operating configuration when the device is determined to be in the first orientation; and
the device is configured to a second operating configuration when the device is determined to be in the second orientation.

Abstract
A device having multiple configurations, wherein each configuration allows operation of the device according to features that may be different than other configurations. Each of the configurations is controlled by a separate SIM card. The device is configured to select an operating configuration, and associated SIM card, in response to detecting an orientation of the device. As the orientation of the device changes, the device selects an operating configuration in accord with user intent.
