Device Comprising a Detector for Detecting an Uninterrupted Looping Movement
First Claim
1. Device (1) comprisinga detector (4) for detecting an uninterrupted looping movement (21-23), anda processor (6) for, in response to a detection of at least a part of the uninterrupted looping movement (21-23), generating a pre-indication signal on the basis of the at least the part of the uninterrupted looping movement, and performing at least a first function (31,32,35) or a second function (33,34,36,37,38) to be selected in dependence of a pre-indication signal, the first and second functions (31-38) being different functions.

Abstract
Devices (1) comprising detectors (4) for detecting uninterrupted looping movements are provided with processors (6) for in response to detections of parts of uninterrupted looping movements (21-23) performing first functions (31,32,35) or second functions (33,34,36,37,38) to be selected in dependence of pre-indication signals, to improve an efficiency of the devices (1) and to increase their possibilities. The first functions comprise scrolling functions in first directions and the second functions comprise scrolling functions in different second directions. The pre-indication signals may originate from further generators (7), or the detectors (4) are arranged to further detect further movements (24-27) and the generators (41)—that are already used for in response to the detections of the parts of the uninterrupted looping movements (21-23) generating indication signals destined for the processor (6) and defining durations and speeds of the parts of the uninterrupted looping movements (21-23)—are further arranged to, in response to detections of the further movements (24-27), generate the pre-indication signals.
