Patent ID: 8456420

Claim:
A method for traversing a list to execute a selected list item, the method comprising: determining a list traversal organization to map the list with audible indicators; determining navigation data, the navigation data indicative of a direction and a speed with which to traverse the list, wherein determining the navigation data comprises: determining whether a clockwise tilt with respect to a stationary navigation state is associated with a forward direction of list traversal or a reverse direction of list traversal; receiving sensor data indicative of a tilt of a sensor; and interpreting the sensor data indicative of the tilt of the sensor to determine the navigation data; determining audible indicators based upon the navigation data and representative of list items within the list being traversed, wherein an audio content of the audible indicators is based upon the direction and the speed with which the list is being traversed and is based upon the list traversal organization; outputting the audible indicators in an order with which the list items within the list are being traversed to indicate at least the direction, wherein the periodicity of the outputting in combination with the list items represented by the audible indicators being output is representative of a navigation speed with which the list is being traversed; receiving a selection signal to indicate selection of the selected list item; and executing the selected list item.
