Patent Images
1. An electronic device that is controlled by movement of a wearable remote control device, wherein the electronic device is a mobile telephone and comprising:
- a local wireless interface to receive control inputs from the remote control device, the control inputs including a scroll control input corresponding to a first movement of the remote control device and a select control input corresponding to asecond movement of the remote control device;
a controller that interprets the control inputs and controls the electronic device to carry out a function corresponding to the received control inputs such that at least one scroll control input prompts the controller to scroll through an ordered sequence of entries to increment a corresponding entry value and audibly output the entry value of acurrent one of the entries as the entries are incremented; and
call circuitry that enables the electronic device to establish a call over a network, and the control inputs are used by the controller to navigate a contact list for initiating a call.

Abstract
An electronic device may be controlled with a remote control device. The remote control device may be moved in a first manner to cause the electronic device to scroll through an ordered sequence. The remote control device may be moved in a second manner to cause the electronic device to select an entry from the ordered list. During scrolling of the ordered sequence, audio feedback regarding the nature of an associated entry may be provided to the user.
