1. A motion and position sensitive method for configuring user interfaces of a mobile device, the method comprising:
- measuring one or more motion or position attributes of the mobile device using a motion sensor to produce a first value based on change in level of movement or position;
comparing the first value with one or more threshold values associated with the change in level of movement or position; and
adjusting one or more user interfaces of the mobile device to be locked or illuminated in accordance with a plurality of lock state or illumination intensity scenarios, respectively,wherein the first value is between a first predetermined set of threshold values and a second predetermined set of threshold values which define the occurrence of at least two events related to change in level of movement or position.

Abstract
A motion sensitive illumination method for a mobile device is provided. The method comprises measuring a first motion attribute of the mobile device using a motion sensor to produce a first value; comparing the first value with a threshold value; and adjusting illumination intensity of an illuminating mechanism that illuminates a user interface component of the mobile device, when the first value is not approximately equal to a first threshold value.
