Controlling method and system for handheld communication device and recording medium using the same
First Claim
1. A method for controlling a handheld electronic device to perform a function by using a sensor to detect a tilting state of the handheld electronic device, comprising:
- detecting the tilting state of the handheld communication device by using the sensor;
determining whether the tilting state of the handheld electronic device is changed from a face up state to a face down state, wherein the face up state corresponds to a first range and the face down state corresponds to a second range; and
controlling the handheld electronic device to perform the function only when the handheld electronic device is determined to change from the face up state to the face down state.

Abstract
A controlling method and a controlling system for a handheld communication device are provided. In the present method, a tilting state of the handheld communication device is detected by using a G-sensor when a notice is activated. Then, whether the tilting state is changed from a face up state to a face down state is determined. The handheld communication device is controlled to perform a function when the tilting state is confirmed to be changed from the face up state to the face down state. Accordingly, the handheld communication device may be controlled to perform a function timely according to the positioned state of the device without going through complicated procedures, so as to provide a more intuitive and convenient way to control the handheld communication device.
