First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for using motion to control a mobile application, the method comprising:
- detecting physical movement of a mobile device using one or more motion sensors in the mobile device;
determining whether the movement of the mobile device exceeds a predetermined toggle threshold; and
toggling a recording feature on the mobile device based on the toggle threshold determination wherein the recording feature is arranged to initiate or terminate a message.

Abstract
One aspect of the invention pertains to a method for using motion to control an application on a mobile device. Physical movement or acceleration of a mobile device is detected using a motion sensor in the mobile device. A determination is made as to whether the movement of the mobile device exceeds a predetermined toggle threshold. A feature (e.g., a recording function, a talk function, a rendering or listen function, etc.) on the mobile device is toggled or activated based on the toggle threshold determination.

33. The method for using motion to control a mobile application, the method comprising:
-
receiving a media message at a mobile device; alerting a user of the mobile device about the incoming message; detecting physical movement of the mobile device using one or more motion sensors in the mobile device; determining whether the movement of the mobile device exceeds a predetermined threshold; and rendering the media message for review by the user wherein the physical movement of the mobile device and the exceeding of the predetermined threshold causes the rendering of the media message.

34. The method for using motion to control a mobile application, the method comprising:
-
receiving a media message at a mobile device; alerting a user of the mobile device about the incoming message; detecting physical movement of the mobile device using one or more motion sensors in the mobile device; determining whether the movement of the mobile device exceeds a predetermined toggle threshold; and activating a previously deactivated microphone on the mobile device, thereby enabling the user to respond to the incoming message wherein the physical movement of the mobile device and the exceeding of the toggle threshold causes the activation of the microphone.
