1. An electronic device, comprising: a processor; a transceiver; a first sensor that is configured to generate a first signal when the electronic device is moved in a first direction, wherein the first signal comprises movement parameter information; and a memory having stored therein a number of instructions which, when executed by the processor, causes the electronic device to perform operations comprising: comparing the first signal, received from the first sensor, with a device control rule, wherein the device control rule is associated with movement of the electronic device in the first direction; initiating or altering an operation performed by the electronic device based on information generated by the comparison of the first signal with the device control rule; and transmitting a device control signal, using the transceiver, to an external electronic device, wherein the device control signal is derived from information generated by the comparison of the first signal generated from movement of the electronic device in the first direction with the device control rule, which is associated with movement of the electronic device in the first direction, wherein initiating or altering the operation performed by the electronic device causes the electronic device to act as an intermediary which transfers communication signals between a first external electronic device and a second external electronic device.
