1. An electronic mobile device comprising:
- a display for displaying a graphical element;
a tilt sensor configured to measure a tilt angle of the mobile device; and
a processor configured to;
store the measured tilt angle as a reference tilt angle;
subsequently determine a delta tilt angle as the difference between a currently measured tilt angle and the reference tilt angle;
compare the delta tilt angle to different thresholds; and
alter the position of the displayed element on the display at a rate that is based on the number of the thresholds the delta tilt angle has exceeded.

Abstract
An electronic mobile device includes a display, a tilt sensor and a processor. The display is for displaying a graphical element. The tilt sensor is configured to measure a tilt angle of the mobile device. The processor is configured to store the measured tilt angle as a reference tilt angle, subsequently determine a delta tilt angle as the difference between a currently measured tilt angle and the reference tilt angle, compare the delta tilt angle to different thresholds, and alter the position of the displayed element on the display at a rate that is based on the number of the thresholds the delta tilt angle has exceeded.
