Abstract:
1. A method in a device having a display, the method comprising: generating at least one sensor signal using at least one sensor in the device; generating a first display orientation context value for longer than a set period of time that indicates how the device is oriented based on the at least one sensor signal; generating a second display orientation context value for shorter than the set period of time after generating the first display orientation context value based on the at least one sensor signal, the second display orientation context value differing from the first display orientation context value; generating a third display orientation context value that indicates that the device is laying flat based on the at least one sensor signal after generating the second display orientation context value; and selecting an orientation for an image on the display while the device is laying flat by using the first display orientation context value instead of the second display orientation context value.
