Patent ID: 8432264

Claim:
A remote control, comprising: a signal generator; a motion detection sensor; motion detection logic coupled to a processor and the motion detection sensor, configured to receive movement sensory information from the motion detection sensor, and detect, based at least in part on the movement sensory information, one or more particular movements that have been applied to the motion detection sensor; a control logic coupled to the motion detection logic, configured to perform, upon detection of the one or more particular movements, at least one of: activate a light that is electrically coupled to the control logic; activate the signal generator; or establish a new configuration associated with the motion detection logic; wherein the motion detection logic is further configured to disregard movements that are not the one or more particular movements; wherein the motion detection sensor comprises: a first stationary sensor member; a second flexible sensor member, wherein at least a portion of the second sensor member is within a particular distance to the first sensor member such that the second sensor member is configured to make contact with the first sensor member upon movement of the motion detection sensor.
