Abstract

An electronic system includes: a control unit configured to: detect a motion applied to a device with a display in a mode; select another mode of the display based on the device motion; and a user interface, coupled to the control unit, configured to apply a screen motion to the another mode of the display.

Claims

1. An electronic system comprising:

a control unit configured to;

detecting a motion applied to a device with a display in a mode;

selecting another mode of the display based on the device motion; and

a user interface, coupled to the control unit, configured to applying a screen motion to the another mode of the display.

2. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is configured to detect a device motion.

3. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit configured to detect a screen motion.

4. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit configured to select an application mode.

5. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit configured to select a Timeline mode.

6. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit configured to select an application drawer mode.

7. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit configured to select yet another mode of the display based on the screen motion.

8. A method of operation of an electronic system comprising:

detecting, with a control unit, a motion applied to a device with a display in a mode;

selecting another mode of the display based on the device motion; and

applying a screen motion to the another mode of the display.

9. The method as claimed in claim 8 wherein detecting a motion includes detecting a device motion.

10. The method as claimed in claim 8 wherein detecting a motion includes detecting a screen motion.

11. The method as claimed in claim 8 wherein selecting another mode of the display based on the device motion includes selecting an application mode.

12. The method as claimed in claim 8 wherein selecting another mode of the display based on the device motion includes selecting a Timeline mode.

13. The method as claimed in claim 8 wherein selecting another mode of the display based on the device motion includes selecting an application drawer mode.

14. The method as claimed in claim 8 further comprising selecting yet another mode of the display based on the screen motion.

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium including stored thereon instructions to be executed by a control unit comprising:

detecting a device motion to a device with a display in a mode;

selecting another mode of the display; and

applying a screen motion to the another mode of the display.

16. The medium as claimed in claim 15 wherein detecting a motion includes detecting a device motion.

17. The medium as claimed in claim 15 wherein detecting a motion includes detecting a screen motion.

18. The medium as claimed in claim 15 wherein selecting another mode of the display based on the device motion includes selecting an application mode.

19. The medium as claimed in claim 15 wherein selecting another mode of the display based on the device motion includes selecting a Timeline mode.

20. The medium as claimed in claim 15 wherein selecting another mode of the display based on the device motion includes selecting an application drawer mode.
