1. A method, comprising:
- at an electronic device with one or more processors, memory, and a touch-sensitive display;
receiving data relating to device movement and data relating to device orientation;
receiving a touch input on the touch-sensitive display;
processing the received data relating to device movement and the received data relating to device orientation to determine whether the electronic device is in one of a first or second state based on the received data relating to device movement and data relating to device orientation, wherein the first state occurs when a user is looking at the electronic device;
if it is determined that the electronic device is in the first state, processing the touch input as an intentional touch input;
if it is determined that the electronic device is in the second state, processing the touch input as an unintentional touch input; and
in response to detecting a first change in the received data relating to device movement and the received data relating to device orientation, determining that the device has changed from the second state to the first state.

Abstract
The various methods and devices described herein relate to devices which, in at least certain embodiments, may include one or more sensors for providing data relating to user activity and at least one processor for causing the device to respond based on the user activity which was determined, at least in part, through the sensors. The response by the device may include a change of state of the device, and the response may be automatically performed after the user activity is determined.

1. A method, comprising:
at an electronic device with one or more processors, memory, and a touch-sensitive display; receiving data relating to device movement and data relating to device orientation; receiving a touch input on the touch-sensitive display; processing the received data relating to device movement and the received data relating to device orientation to determine whether the electronic device is in one of a first or second state based on the received data relating to device movement and data relating to device orientation, wherein the first state occurs when a user is looking at the electronic device; if it is determined that the electronic device is in the first state, processing the touch input as an intentional touch input; if it is determined that the electronic device is in the second state, processing the touch input as an unintentional touch input; and in response to detecting a first change in the received data relating to device movement and the received data relating to device orientation, determining that the device has changed from the second state to the first state. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)

8. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing executable program instructions, which, when executed by an electronic device with one or more processors, memory, and a touch-sensitive display, cause the electronic device to:
-
receive data relating to device movement and data relating to device orientation; receive a touch input on the touch-sensitive display; process the received data relating to device movement and the received data relating to device orientation to determine whether the electronic device is in one of a first or second state based on the received data relating to device movement and the received data relating to device orientation, wherein the first state occurs when a user is looking at the electronic device; if it is determined that the electronic device is in the first state, process the touch input as an intentional touch input; if it is determined that the electronic device is in the second state, process the touch input as an unintentional touch input; and in response to detecting a first change in the received data relating to device movement and the received data relating to device orientation, determine that the device has changed from the second state to the first state. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. An electronic device, comprising:
-
one or more processors; a touch-sensitive display; and memory storing one or more programs to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs comprising instructions for; receiving data relating to device movement and data relating to device orientation; receiving a touch input on the touch-sensitive display; processing the received data relating to device movement and the received data relating to device orientation to determine whether the electronic device is in one of a first or second state based on the received data relating to device movement and the received data relating to device orientation, wherein the first state occurs when a user is looking at the electronic device; if it is determined that the electronic device is in the first state, processing the touch input as an intentional touch input; if it is determined that the electronic device is in the second state, processing the touch input as an unintentional touch input; and in response to detecting a first change in the received data relating to device movement and the received data relating to device orientation, determining that the device has changed from the second state to the first state. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
