Abstract:
1. A media device comprising: a proximity sensor for detecting that the media device is being gripped and generating an activation signal based on detecting that the media device is being gripped; a sensor for generating a sensor signal based on a position, orientation, and movement of the media device; a data store including a plurality of movement patterns of the media device, each movement pattern being associated with an application that may be executed by the media device; a processor for i) activating an application based on a received movement pattern and ii) controlling one or more operations of the activated application the media device based at least in part on the activation signal, the sensor signal, and one or more additional received movement patterns; a vibration data store storing a plurality of vibration patterns, wherein each of the vibration patterns is associated with one or more elements of the activated application; an audio data store storing a plurality of audio patterns, wherein each of the audio patterns is associated with one or more elements of the activated application; a vibration source for generating one of the one or more vibration patterns, wherein generating a vibration pattern occurs when the element associated with the vibration pattern is selected using one of the one or more additional received movement patterns; and an audio source for generating one or more audio patterns, wherein generating an audio pattern occurs when the element associated with the audio pattern is selected using one of the one or more additional received movement patterns.
