Abstract
Operational methods and systems for motion-centric user interfaces are provided. First, at least one user interface is provided. A motion of an electronic device is detected by at least one sensor. When the motion indicates that the electronic device substantially rotates in a first direction around a specific axis, a switch from a first item to a second item in the user interface is performed. The first item and the second item correspond either to different applications, or respectively correspond to an inactivation function and an activation function of an application.
