Method of controlling mobile device with touch-sensitive display and motion sensor, and mobile device

A method of controlling a mobile device configured with a touch-sensitive display and a motion sensor, comprising:

• detecting a contact with the touch-sensitive display;
• selecting a widget in a starting page and dragging the widget when the contact starts corresponding to the widget;
• detecting a rotation or a movement with the motion sensor;
• transitioning the mobile device from the starting page to a destination page according to the rotation or the movement upon detection, wherein speed of the transition from the starting page to the destination page is in proportion to speed of the rotation or speed of the movement;
• and
• moving the widget from the starting page to the destination page when the contact terminates in the destination page.

A mobile device, comprising:

• a touch-sensitive display;
• a motion sensor;
• a memory;
• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more modules stored in the memory and configured for execution by the one or more processors, the one or more modules including instructions to perform a plurality of tasks, the tasks comprising:
• detecting a contact with the touch-sensitive display while the mobile device is in a first state to determine whether the detected contact corresponds to a predefined icon;
• detecting a rotation or a movement with the motion sensor while the mobile device is in the first state to determine whether the detected rotation or the detected movement corresponds to a predefined gesture;
• and
• transitioning the mobile device to a second state when the detected contact corresponds to the predefined icon, and the detected rotation or the detected movement corresponds to the predefined gesture.

A method of controlling a mobile device configured with a touch-sensitive display and a motion sensor, comprising:

• detecting a contact with the touch-sensitive display while the mobile device is in a user-interface lock state to determine whether the contact corresponds to a predefined icon;
• detecting a rotation or a movement with the motion sensor while the mobile device is in a first user-interface lock state to determine whether the rotation or the movement corresponds to a predefined gesture, wherein the predefined icon moves along a bar according to the rotation or the movement;
• transitioning the mobile device from the first user-interface lock state to a second user-interface lock state when the contact is continuously maintained, and the rotation or movement corresponds to the predefined gesture;
• and
• transitioning the mobile device from the second user-interface lock state to a predefined state when the predefined icon moves to the end of the bar according to the rotation or the movement.
