1. A device comprising:
- a body having a processing component and an orientation detecting component; and
a cover disposed on said body,wherein said orientation detecting component is operable to detect a first orientation of the device and to generate an orientation signal based on the detected first orientation of the device, andwherein said processing component is operable to operate in one of an inactive mode or an active mode based on the orientation signal, the inactive mode expending less power than the active mode.

Abstract
A device has a body having a processing component and an orientation detecting component, and a cover disposed on the body. The processing component can operate in an inactive mode and can operate in an active mode, wherein the inactive mode expends less power than the active mode. The orientation detecting component can detect a first orientation and can generate an orientation signal based on the detected first orientation. The processing component can operate in one of the inactive mode or the active mode based on the orientation signal.

7. A method comprising:
-
operating a processing component of a device in an inactive mode, the inactive mode expending a first amount of energy per unit of time; detecting, via an orientation detecting component, a first orientation of the device; generating, via the orientation detecting component, an orientation signal based on the detected first orientation of the device; operating the processing component in one of an active mode or the inactive mode based on the orientation signal, the active mode expending a less power than the active mode. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A non-transitory, tangible, computer-readable media having computer-readable instructions stored thereon, for use with a computer and being capable of instructing the computer to perform the method comprising:
-
operating a processing component of a device in an inactive mode, the inactive mode expending a first amount of energy per unit of time; detecting, via an orientation detecting component, a first orientation of the device; generating, via the orientation detecting component, an orientation signal based on the detected first orientation of the device; operating the processing component in one of an active mode or the inactive mode based on the orientation signal, the active mode expending a less power than the active mode. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
