Patent Images
1. A portable communication device comprising:
- a display visually exposed through at least part of a specified surface of the portable communication device;
a sensor; and
a processor configured to;
present a notification signal with respect to an incoming event;
detect, via the sensor, a motion of the portable communication device while the notification signal is presented;
determine that the specified surface faces downward based at least in part on the detected motion; and
adjust the notification signal based at least in part on the determining.

Abstract
Provided is a mobile terminal having a sensor detecting movement thereof and an event processing method. The mobile terminal includes: an orientation detector for monitoring, in response to detection of an event, movement of the mobile terminal for a preset time duration to identify an orientation of the mobile terminal; and a controller for processing the event in an operating mode corresponding to the identified orientation. As a result, the user can readily switch operating modes of the mobile terminal by changing orientations thereof.
