Abstract:
1. A device comprising: a user graspable enclosure configured to receive an acceleration corresponding to a user input; a stacked pair of upper and lower printed circuit boards positioned in the user graspable enclosure, wherein the upper and lower printed circuit boards are substantially parallel; a motion sensor pin comprising an upper portion connected to the upper printed circuit board and a lower portion coupled to the upper portion with a hinge connection, the hinge connection configured to allow the lower portion to move independently of the upper portion within a hole formed in the lower printed circuit board wherein the motion sensor pin is configured to establish an electrical connection when the lower portion contacts a conductive material formed proximate an inside edge of the hole responsive to receiving the acceleration; a compressive material configured to receive the lower portion of the motion sensor pin, wherein the lower portion of the motion sensor pin is configured to compress the compressive material prior to contacting the conductive material; and a motion detector circuit coupled with the motion sensor pin, wherein the motion detector circuit is configured to deactivate a computer device in response to detecting a constant logic state of the electrical connection for a threshold period of time.
