Abstract
An electronic device includes one or more sensors, one or more processors operable with the one or more sensors, and a user interface component operable with the one or more processors in at least a first mode of operation and a second mode of operation that is different from the first mode of operation. The one or more processors operate the user interface component in the first mode of operation in response to a first trigger input, and transition operation of the user interface component from the first mode of operation to the second mode of operation upon the one or more sensors detecting a second trigger input occurring while the one or more processors operate the user interface component in the first mode of operation.
