DIRECTIONAL SENSING MECHANISM AND COMMUNICATIONS AUTHENTICATION
First Claim
1. A method of controlling the operation of an electronic device, comprising:
- receiving an indication of a movement of the electronic device;
receiving, at the electronic device, an input from a utility;
determining that the movement corresponds to a predetermined and valid movement and that the input meets a predetermined input requirement; and
in response to determining that the first movement corresponds to a predetermined and valid movement and that the input meets a predetermined input requirement, providing an indication via the electronic device.

Abstract
The present invention is directed toward a communication device in communication with a motion sensing mechanism or other utility. The motion sensing mechanism or other utility is adapted to provide data to the communication device. The data is used to selectively allow or restrict the communication device'"'"'s ability to transmit messages, which may include sensitive data, to a second electronic device. Thus, the motion sensing mechanism or other utility is utilized to limit access to data on the communication device to only instances when the utility provides the communication device with a recognized data input.
