METHOD FOR ENTERING COMMANDS AND/OR CHARACTERS FOR A PORTABLE COMMUNICATION DEVICE EQUIPPED WITH A TILT SENSOR

The invention relates to a method for entering commands and/or characters for a portable communication device equipped with an input device comprising a tilt sensor, comprising the steps of determining (S1) a motion of said portable communication device through measurements of said tilt sensor calculated in reference to a neutral position of said tilt sensor; and deducing (S2) from said motion an associated command and/or character. According to the invention, said method further comprises a preliminary calibration step (S0) triggered by a user of said portable communication device, consisting in defining said neutral position as being the current position of the sensor at the time of triggering said calibration step.
