Patent ID: 8854299

Claim:
An electronic device, comprising: a first face; a second face; an application launch input element; a memory configured to store a plurality of applications; and a processor coupled with the memory and configured to identify, in response to a trigger of the application launch input element, whether the first face, the second face, or another face of the electronic device is pointed in a predetermined direction; wherein the processor is configured to activate a different application of the plurality of applications when the first face is pointed in the predetermined direction when the application launch input element is triggered than when the second face is pointed in the predetermined direction when the application launch input element is triggered, and wherein the processor is configured to: display, on a display device of the electronic device, a user interface displaying a list including names of a first face direction orientation corresponding to the first face, a first application of the plurality of applications linked to the first face direction orientation, a second face direction orientation corresponding to the second face, and a second application of the plurality of applications linked to the second face orientation; display, in the user interface, an indication of a current face direction orientation of the electronic device adjacent a name of the first face direction orientation that is the current face direction orientations; detect a change of the current face direction orientation from the first face direction orientation to the second face direction orientation; and cause the indication to move, in the displayed list, from adjacent the name of the first face direction orientation to adjacent a name of the second face direction orientation after detecting the change of the current face direction orientation.
