Wireless Communication Device Responsive to Orientation and Movement
First Claim
1. A method of a wireless communication device for activating an event, the method comprising:
- detecting a substantially vertical orientation of the wireless communication device;
detecting a movement of the wireless communication device subsequent to detecting a substantially vertical orientation of the wireless communication device; and
performing a function of the wireless communication device in response to detecting a substantially vertical orientation and a movement of the wireless communication device.

Abstract
A wireless communication device responsive to orientation and movement comprising a housing, a cellular transceiver capable of communicating with a cellular communication network, a WLAN transceiver capable of communicating with a remote device via an ad hoc network, a sensor and a processor. The sensor detects a substantially vertical orientation of the wireless communication device. The sensor also detects a movement of the wireless communication device subsequent to detecting the substantially vertical orientation of the wireless communication device. The processor performs a function of the wireless communication device in coordination with the remove device via the WLAN transceiver. The processor performs this function in response to detecting the substantially vertical orientation and the movement of the wireless communication device.
