1. A method comprising:
- receiving an indication of a motion event from a motion sensor;
determining a motion gesture of the motion event;
determining a motion property of the motion event, wherein the motion property includes at least one of a speed, force, frequency, orientation, acceleration, smoothness, or abruptness;
determining a motion context of the motion event; and
enabling provision of a user interface effect based on the motion property of the motion event and the motion context of the motion event, wherein the motion context includes a condition of a device, wherein the condition includes two or more of a dark environment, a bright environment, a temperature, a pulse rate, a grip force, or a sustained speed of motion;
wherein enabling provision of a user interface effect based on the motion property of the motion event and the motion context of the motion event comprises enabling provision of a first user interface effect in response to a first motion event having a first motion gesture, a first motion property having a first value, and a first motion context, and enabling provision of a second user interface effect in response to a second motion event having the first motion gesture, the motion property having a second value different than the first value, and the first motion context, the first user interface effect and the second user interface effect being different from each other.

Abstract
A method for providing a mechanism by which different user interface effects may be performed for different motion events may include receiving an indication of a motion event at a motion sensor, determining a motion gesture of the motion event, determining a motion property of the motion event, and enabling provision a user interface effect based on the motion property of the motion event. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also provided.

8. An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
-
receive an indication of a motion event from a motion sensor; determine a motion gesture of the motion event; determine a motion property of the motion event, wherein the motion property includes at least one of a speed, force, frequency, orientation, acceleration, smoothness, or abruptness; determine a motion context of the motion event; and enable provision of a user interface effect based on the motion property of the motion event and the motion context of the motion event, wherein the motion context includes a condition of a device, wherein the condition includes two or more of a dark environment, a bright environment, a temperature, a pulse rate, a grip force, or a sustained speed of motion; wherein causing the apparatus to enable provision of a user interface effect based on the motion property of the motion event and the motion context of the motion event comprises causing the apparatus to enable provision of a first user interface effect in response to a first motion event having a first motion gesture, a first motion property having a first value, and a first motion context, and causing the apparatus to enable provision of a second user interface effect in response to a second motion event having the first motion gesture, the motion property having a second value different than the first value, and the first motion context, the first user interface effect and the second user interface effect being different from each other. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable program code instructions stored therein, the computer-executable program code instructions comprising program code instructions to:
-
receive an indication of a motion event from a motion sensor; determine a motion gesture of the motion event; determine a motion property of the motion event, wherein the motion property includes at least one of a speed, force, frequency, orientation, acceleration, smoothness, or abruptness; determine a motion context of the motion event; and enable provision of a user interface effect based on the motion property of the motion event and the motion context of the motion event, wherein the motion context includes a condition of a device, wherein the condition includes two or more of a dark environment, a bright environment, a temperature, a pulse rate, a grip force, or a sustained speed of motion; wherein the program code instructions to enable provision of a user interface effect based on the motion property of the motion event and the motion context of the motion event comprises program code instructions to enable provision of a first user interface effect in response to a first motion event having a first motion gesture, a first motion property having a first value, and a first motion context, and program code instructions to enable provision of a second user interface effect in response to a second motion event having the first motion gesture, the motion property having a second value different than the first value, and the first motion context, the first user interface effect and the second user interface effect being different from each other. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
