1. A method for detecting movement near an electronic device, the method comprising:

  • providing an electronic device having movement detection circuitry for detecting contactless movement of an object near the electronic device, wherein the device includes a memory for storing one or more predefined state parameters that correspond to one or more predefined movements to be detected by the movement detection circuitry;

    detecting movement of an object near the movement detection circuitry;

    generating detected state information, wherein the detected state information corresponds at least in part to the detected movement of the object;

    comparing the one or more predefined state parameters with the detected state information; and

    generating a signal to control one or more user selectable operations of the electronic device based at least in part on the detected movement of the object.
