Abstract

In a method for motion detection of an electronic device, data on a touch screen of the electronic device is shared to a user. The method prevents the touch screen from being touched inadvertently when the electronic device is handed to or is picked up by the user. The method determines whether a movement of the electronic device is generated, wherein the movement is a motion generated when the electronic device is handed to the user. When the movement is generated, the method further locks a display of the touch screen, and determines whether the movement is finished. When the movement is finished, the method unlocks the display of the touch screen.
