Abstract

A user interface allows one or more gestures to be devised by a user and mapped or associated with one or more commands or operations of a TV or other device. The user can select the command / operation that is to be associated with each gesture that he / she devised or created. The user is not limited to the use of pre-set gestures that were previously programmed into a system and is not limited to using pre-set commands / operations that were previously associated with pre-set gestures.
