DISPLAY ORIENTATION CHANGE FOR WIRELESS DEVICES
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method for controlling an orientation of a display on a wireless device comprising:
- using at least one acceleration measurement to determine a first orientation of the wireless device;
using at least one image to determine a second orientation of the wireless device;
comparing the first orientation and the second orientation;
when the first orientation and the second orientation do not match, selecting a display orientation corresponding to a default orientation;
when the first orientation and the second orientation match, selecting either one as the display orientation; and
providing the display on the wireless device in accordance with the display orientation.
