Abstract
A user controls a function of a mobile terminal with the aid of a motion sensor integrated in a headset. A motion sensor in the headset detects movement of the user'"'"'s head and transmits head movement signals to the mobile. The mobile terminal uses the head movement signals received from the headset to control a function of the mobile terminal. For example, the mobile terminal may lock or unlock the mobile terminal based on the user'"'"'s head movement. The mobile terminal may also accept, decline, initiate, or terminate a call based on the user'"'"'s head movement. Head movement may also be used to navigate desktop icons and menus to perform tasks such as starting programs and selecting music for play back.
