Simplified control input to a mobile device
First Claim
1. A mobile device, comprising:
- a processor;
a wireless transceiver;
a motion sensor;
a display; and
a memory, accessible to the processor, including processor-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising;
receiving, from the motion sensor, motion information indicative of mobile device motion;
recognizing a motion pattern indicated by the motion information;
identifying a particular function corresponding to the motion pattern;
determining whether the particular function comprises a first type of function, wherein the first type of function includes functions for remotely controlling a remotely controlled device;
responsive to determining the particular function is of the first type of function, wirelessly sending a remote control command corresponding to the particular function to the remotely controlled device; and
responsive to determining the particular function is not of the first type of function, executing the particular function via a wireless network.

Abstract
A method of operating a mobile device includes receiving, from a motion sensor, motion information indicative of mobile device motion, recognizing a motion pattern indicated by the motion information, identifying a particular function corresponding to the motion pattern, and determining whether the particular function comprises a function for remotely controlling a remotely controlled device. Responsive to determining the particular function is a function for remotely controlling a remotely controlled device, a remote control command corresponding to the particular function is wirelessly sent to the remotely controlled device. If the particular function is a function for remotely controlling a remotely controlled device, the particular function is executed via a wireless network.
