Abstract

The disclosure relates to a system and method for analyzing movements of a handheld electronic device. The system comprises: memory; a microprocessor; a first module to generate movement data responsive to movements of the device; a second module providing instructions to the microprocessor to map the movement data to a string representation relating to symbols in a spatial coordinate system associated with the device and store the string representation in the memory; and a third module. The third module provides instructions to the microprocessor to analyze data relating to the string representation against data relating to a gesture string representing a gesture related to a command for the device to determine if the gesture has been imparted on the device; and if the string representation sufficiently matches the gesture string, executes a command associated with the gesture on the device.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to a system and method for analyzing motion of an electronic device. In particular, the invention relates to analyzing the motion of a device to identify gestures as input signals to the device. Background technique [0002] Current wireless handheld mobile communication devices perform a variety of functions to enable mobile users to stay in sync with information and communications, such as email, corporate data, and organizer information, for example, while they are away from their desktops. Such devices have a display and a sophisticated operating system for providing a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that presents various static and moving images to the user. [0003] One navigation device for a GUI of a handheld device is a trackball or scroll wheel. Movement of the trackball or scroll wheel is usually translated into movement of the cursor, which may include highlighting of icons. Inherently, however, usi...
