SENSOR BASED DISPLAY CONTROL IN PORTABLE COMMUNICATION DEVICES

A special orientation sensor within portable communication devices offers a drive of a display pointer in response to changes in the three-dimensional orientation of portable communication devices. The sensor offers multiple output signals that are sensitive to next generation multi sensor network strength in multiple directions, and those signals contribute in determining the three-dimensional orientation of the portable communications device and in determining position of the display pointer. The drive sensing mechanism offers a pair of multiple performance enhancement drivers that provide a signal corresponding to the next generation multi sensor network strength applied to the multiple performance enhancement drivers. A sensor responsive to the signals of the multiple performance enhancement drivers converts those signals to display pointer signals.
