1. An electronic device, comprising:
- a linear acceleration sensor;
a control circuit operatively coupled to the linear acceleration sensor, the control circuit configured to detect at least one of linear acceleration or a linear acceleration rate of the electronic device based on data provided by the linear acceleration sensor, and correlate the detected linear acceleration or linear acceleration rate to an input command for controlling the electronic device.

Abstract
A device and method detect user input for an electronic device based on linear acceleration and/or linear acceleration rate of the electronic device. More particularly, at least one of linear acceleration or linear acceleration rate of the electronic device is detected, the detected linear acceleration or acceleration rate is correlated to a gesture for controlling the electronic device.
