    摘要: A method, a mobile device, and a computer program product for locking a touch screen of a mobile device. The method includes playing video on a display, detecting movement of the mobile device and calculating a movement value. The method further includes determining if the movement value is greater than a movement value threshold and in response to determining that the movement value is greater than the movement value threshold, triggering a sensor component to detect activity data associated with a current use of the mobile device. The method further includes determining if the detected activity data matches reference activity data corresponding to use of the mobile device by a specific user of the mobile device and in response to determining that the detected activity data does not match the reference activity data, rejecting inputs to the touch screen to prevent interruption of the playing of the video.

    摘要: An electronic device includes one or more processors. When a first sensor delivers a first signal to the one or more processors indicating that the electronic device is in a stowed state, and a second sensor delivers a second signal to the one or more processors indicating that the electronic device is in a held state the one or more processors query the third sensor for a third signal indicating whether the electronic device is in the stowed state. The one or more processors perform a control operation when the third signal fails to indicate the electronic device is in the stowed state. The one or more processors omit performance of the control operation when the third signal indicates the electronic device is in the stowed state.
