7. The method of claim 6, wherein validating the mechanical movement comprises comparing the light pattern with the one or more predefined light patterns.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the mechanical movement comprises a number of a plurality of oscillations of the spring loaded pendulum, and a time interval between each of the plurality of oscillations.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein recording the mechanical movement comprises recording at least one of an acoustic pattern using a microphone, an electrical pulse pattern using a set of electrical contacts, and a light pattern using a light emitting diode and a photodiode.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the movement pattern provided by the user comprises shaking of the electronic device.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the spring-loaded pendulum is housed in a soundproof compartment within the electronic device.

12. A system for powering ON an electronic device, the system comprising:
a spring-loaded pendulum housed within the electronic device;
at least one processor; and
a computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
recording a mechanical movement of the spring-loaded pendulum in response to a movement pattern provided by a user using the electronic device during a switched OFF state of the electronic device;
validating the mechanical movement against one or more pre-stored patterns; and
powering ON the electronic device from the switched OFF state based on a validation.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein the mechanical movement triggers an acoustic pattern, wherein the one or more pre-stored patterns correspond to one or more pre-defined acoustic patterns, and wherein validating the mechanical movement comprises comparing the acoustic pattern with the one or more predefined acoustic patterns.

14. The system of claim 12, wherein the mechanical movement generates an electrical pulse pattern, wherein the one or more pre-stored patterns correspond to one or more pre-defined electrical pulse patterns, and wherein validating the mechanical movement comprises comparing the electrical pulse pattern with the one or more predefined electrical pulse patterns.

15. The system of claim 12, wherein the mechanical movement triggers a light pattern, wherein the one or more pre-stored patterns correspond to one or more pre-defined light patterns, and wherein validating the mechanical movement comprises comparing the light pattern with the one or more predefined light patterns.

16. The system of claim 12, wherein the mechanical movement comprises a number of a plurality of oscillations of the spring loaded pendulum, and a time interval between each of the plurality of oscillations.

17. The system of claim 12, wherein recording the mechanical movement comprises recording at least one of an acoustic pattern using a microphone, an electrical pulse pattern using a set of electrical contacts, and a light pattern using a light emitting diode and a photodiode.

18. The system of claim 12, wherein the movement pattern provided by the user comprises shaking of the electronic device.

19. The system of claim 12, wherein the spring-loaded pendulum is housed in a soundproof compartment within the electronic device.

20. An electronic device, comprising:
a spring-loaded pendulum and a microphone housed within a soundproof compartment;
a set of electrical contacts operable by the spring-loaded pendulum;
at least one processor; and
a computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
recording an acoustic pattern via the microphone and an electrical pulse pattern via the set of electrical contacts, wherein the acoustic pattern and the electrical pulse pattern are triggered by a mechanical movement of the spring-loaded pendulum, and wherein the mechanical movement is in response to a movement pattern provided by a user using the electronic device during a switched OFF state of the electronic device;
validating the movement pattern by comparing the acoustic pattern with one or more predefined acoustic patterns and by comparing the electrical pulse pattern with one or more predefined electrical pulse patterns; and
powering ON the electronic device from the switched OFF state based on a validation.
