1. A method for opening and closing a media door, comprising:
- a user moving a hand within range of a first sensor;
the user moving the hand within range of a second sensor;
a latching and timing device controlling the opening state of the media door in response to the hand moving within range of the first sensor followed by moving the hand within range of the second sensor;
the user moving the hand within range of the first sensor for a second time;
the user moving the hand within range of the second sensor for a second time; and
the latching and timing device closing the media door in response to the hand moving within range of the first sensor for a second time followed by moving the hand within range of the second sensor for a second time.

7. An electronic device, comprising:
-
a media door; first and second sensors disposed on a surface of the electronic device; a latching and timing module coupled to the media door and to the first and second sensors, wherein the logic module receives a first signal from the first sensor, followed by a first signal from the second sensor, and, responsive to the signals from the first and second sensors, opens the media door, and wherein the logic module receives a second signal from the first sensor, followed by a second signal from the second sensor, and, responsive to the second signals from the first and second sensors, closes the media door. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)
