METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING INTERACTION MODE Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC H04B1/40 

FIELD: physics, computer engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used in electronics. The apparatus comprises a processor, memory storing computer program code, the memory and the computer program code configured to, while interacting with the processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following: operating in a first interaction mode; receiving, from a charger, charger attribute information; determining that the apparatus is in a first orientation; determining a second interaction mode based, at least in part, on the charger attribute information and the first orientation, the second interaction mode differing from the first interaction mode; terminating operation of the first interaction mode; operating in the second interaction mode; determining that the apparatus is in a second orientation; determining a third interaction mode based, at least in part, on charger attribute information and the second orientation, the third interaction mode differing from the second interaction mode at least by content provided to the user; terminating operation of the second interaction mode; and operating in the third interaction mode.

EFFECT: broader functional capabilities.
