The following types of interaction are enabled by using the sensors on -the device:

-
    -
  1. Tapping the device (for -example, double tap) to perform a given function. Tapping interaction -is not recommended for touch devices since the tap might also be interpreted -as a touch action if you tap on the touch screen area.

  2. -
  3. Changing the screen -orientation on the device from portrait to landscape as the device is rotated.

  4. -
  5. Silencing an incoming -call when the device orientation is changed from screen down (for example -on a table) to screen up and back again).

  6. -
  7. Changing application -settings based on the ambient light conditions, e.g. bright sunshine or night -time.

  8. -
  9. In a map application, -changing the orientation of a map based on the device's compass orientation.

  10. -
  11. Allowing movement gestures, -such as device rotation, to trigger an action.

  12. -
  13. Trigger an action when -the device comes in close proximity to the user's hand or head.

  14. -
-

The supported sensor interactions are configurable on the device. The users -should be given the option to set their desired interactions.

-

Apart from sensing actions, the device can give tactile (vibrating) feedback -to acknowledge that the interaction has been successful.

Using -sensor interaction in C++ applications

The APIs to use for sensor -interaction are the Sensor channel API and the Sensor definitions API.

For -implementation information and description of the APIs, see the API specification for -the sensor APIs.

Sensors channels come in three types based on the kind -of data that is delivered on the sensor channel: event, status, and continuous -data. For more information, see Definitions -for the sensor APIs.
