Abstract
Various arrangements are described for ignoring inadvertent remote control key presses. A remote control may detect a first key press, the first key press being linked with a first command. The remote control may measure an orientation of the remote control with respect to a direction of gravity. The remote control may compare the measured orientation of the remote control with threshold orientation angles. The first command may be ignored based on comparing the measured orientation of the remote control with the threshold orientation angles.
