Patent ID: 8232879

Claim:
A method of controlling the operation of an Integrated Circuit, comprising: receiving a first motion input at a directional sensing mechanism, the directional sensing mechanism being integral to the Integrated Circuit; translating the received first motion input into a first electrical signal; providing the first electrical signal to the Integrated Circuit for controlling the operation of the Integrated Circuit; receiving a second motion input at the directional sensing mechanism, the second motion input being different from the first motion input; translating the received second motion input into a second electrical signal that is different from the first electrical signal; and providing the second electrical signal to the Integrated Circuit, wherein the first and second motions correspond to a predetermined sequence of motions, wherein the first and second electrical signals are analyzed together and prior to performing a control operation of the Integrated Circuit, wherein the Integrated Circuit and the directional sensing mechanism reside on an RFID device holder and the Integrated Circuit is used to generate a cancellation field transmitted by an antenna of the RFID device holder to obfuscate an electrical signal transmitted by an RFID device contained in the RFID device holder, and wherein the Integrated Circuit is allowed to transmit an electrical signal to an external source unless at least one of the first and second electrical signals are received.
