1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by one or more processors of a mobile computing device, information from one or more sensors of the mobile computing device;
determining, by the one or more processors and based on at least some of the information received from the one or more sensors, a direction of a display of the mobile computing device relative to a field of view of a user of the mobile computing device; and
adjusting, by the one or more processors and based on the direction of the display of the mobile computing device relative to the field of view of the user of the mobile computing device, an infrared (IR) range of an IR transceiver configured to detect gesture inputs.

Abstract
A method for prevention of false gesture trigger inputs on a mobile communication device is disclosed herein. The method includes providing a relative positioning sensor output to a controller for enabling/disabling or adaptively adjusting detection of gesture inputs on the mobile communication device based on an angular position or motion of the mobile communication device relative to a directional trigger beam or alternatively relative to environmental conditions impacting the mobile communication device.

9. A mobile computing device comprising:
-
an infrared (IR) transceiver configured to detect gesture inputs; one or more sensors; a display; and one or more processors configured to; receive information from the one or more sensors; determine, based on at least some of the information received from the one or more sensors, a direction of the display of the mobile computing device relative to a field of view of a user of the mobile computing device; and adjust, based on the direction of the display of the mobile computing device relative to the field of view of the user of the mobile computing device, an IR range of the IR transceiver. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
