1. A system comprising:
- a tilt sensor configured to measure tilt data representing tilt of a device about at least a first axis, a second axis, and a third axis; and
at least a first control located on the device and configured to receive user input that is different than the measured tilt data; and
a processor configured to receive a selection of the first control and further configured to output an output signal based upon the selection of the first control and the tilt data.

Abstract
Orientation-sensitive signal output, in which a neutral position of a device is automatically determined in relation to at least a first axis, an angular displacement of the device is measured about at least the first axis, and shaking of the device is detected. A selection of the first control is received, and an output signal is output based at least upon the selection and the angular displacement or based upon detecting the shaking of the device.

15. A system comprising:
-
a tilt sensor configured to measure tilt data representing tilt of a device about at least a first axis, a second axis, and a third axis; and at least a first control located on the device and configured to receive user input that is different than the measured tilt data; and a processor configured to; receive an indication that the first control is selected; after receiving the indication that the first control is selected, detect rotational movement of the device when the first control is selected based on tilt data measured by the tilt sensor when the first control is selected; and provide output based on the detected rotational movement of the device when the first control is selected. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A system comprising:
-
a tilt sensor configured to measure tilt data representing tilt of a device about at least a first axis, a second axis, and a third axis; and a processor configured to; access tilt data measured by the tilt sensor over a period of time; analyze the accessed tilt data to determine whether or not the device is being moved back and forth in a shaking motion during the period of time; and change output being displayed in response to a determination that the device is being moved back and forth in the shaking motion.
