Methods and systems for altering virtual button arrangements presented on one or more displays of an electronic device

An electronic device, comprising:

• a device housing;
• one or more displays presenting one or more user actuation targets defining one or more virtual buttons in a predefined arrangement relative to a first end of the device housing;
• one or more sensors detecting a reversal of a direction of gravity relative to the device housing;
• and
• one or more processors, operable with the one or more sensors, the one or more processors causing, in response to the one or more sensors detecting the reversal of the direction of gravity relative to the device housing, the one or more displays to present the one or more user actuation targets defining the one or more virtual buttons in another predefined arrangement that is different from the predefined arrangement.

An electronic device, comprising:

• a device housing;
• one or more displays presenting one or more user actuation targets defining one or more virtual buttons in a predefined arrangement relative to a first end of the device housing;
• one or more sensors detecting an object tapping or pushing a portion of the device housing along a direction of gravity when the electronic device is in an enclosed condition;
• and
• one or more processors, operable with the one or more sensors, the one or more processors causing, when the portion of the device housing is a distal portion of the device housing from the first end of the device housing, the one or more displays to present the one or more user actuation targets defining the one or more virtual buttons in another predefined arrangement that is different from the predefined arrangement.
