First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- receiving first information from a first acceleration detector incorporated at a first portion of a computation device, the first portion comprising a display to provide video/graphic images, and being coupled to a second portion of the computation device;
determining an orientation of the first portion based upon the first information; and
performing a first operation at the computational device based upon the orientation.

Abstract
Information from an accelerometer integrated at a computation device is received. An orientation of a display of the computation device, or other attribute, can be determined based upon the received information based upon an assumed reference, such as a desktop surface that is perpendicular to a gravitational vector, or based upon information from another accelerometer, such as an accelerometer within a base portion of a laptop computer. An operation is performed based upon the information.
