Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9958935A1] A controller prevents implementation of certain computer functions based on the orientation of the display. For example, in in-car personal computer applications, when the display is visible by the operator of the motor vehicle, based on information from a display position sensor, the computer system is prevented from implementing certain functions, such as television functions. However, if a vehicle motion sensor indicates that the vehicle is, in fact, not moving, the operator may be allowed to view prohibited applications such as television.
