1. A method, comprising:
- storing different modes of operation of a remote control device with each mode of operation corresponding to an electronic device;
detecting different orientations of the remote control device;
providing a signal to a processor indicating an orientation;
assuming a mode of operation that corresponds to the orientation; and
controlling the electronic device that corresponds to the mode of operation such that the different orientations of the remote control device control different electronic devices.

Abstract
Methods, systems, devices, and memory are disclosed for remote controlling consumer electronics devices. Different orientations of a remote control device are detected. A signal is provided to a processor, and the signal indicates an orientation. The processor changes a mode of operation of the remote control device that corresponds to the orientation such that different orientations of the remote control device control different electronic devices.

9. A system, comprising:
-
a processor communicating with memory and executing instructions that cause the processor to; store different modes of operation of a remote control device with each mode of operation corresponding to an electronic device; receive an orientation of different orientations of the remote control device; assume a mode of operation of the different modes of operation that corresponds to the orientation; and control the electronic device that corresponds to the mode of operation such that the different orientations of the remote control device control different electronic devices. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
