1. A method implemented by a computing device comprising a processor, and a memory, a motion detection sensor and a proximity sensor coupled to the processor, the method comprising:

  • measuring, using the motion detection sensor, motion data representing a detected motion of the computing device at regular intervals;

    measuring, using the proximity sensor, proximity data representing a proximity of the computing device to an object at regular intervals over a duration of the detected motion;

    matching the measured motion data and measured proximity data to a gesture, the gesture comprising a pattern of motion representing changes in position of the computing device over the duration of the gesture and a pattern of proximity representing changes in proximity of the computing device to an object over the duration of the gesture;

    determining an action associated with the gesture based on a context of the computing device when at the time the motion as detected; and

    performing the action associated with the gesture.
