1. A method for using a portable electronic device, having an input device for receiving a gesture based input from a user, to control a navigation operation of an appliance, comprising:
- receiving via the input device of the portable electronic device the gesture based input; and
causing the portable electronic device to transmit a navigation step command to thereby control the navigation operation of the appliance;
wherein the navigation step command transmitted by the portable electronic device comprises a direction command that is transmitted from the portable electronic device, wherein the transmission of the direction command is repeated a variable number of times at a variable rate, and wherein the variable number of times and the variable rate are determined using one or more movement characteristics associated with the gesture based input and one or more parameters stored in a memory of the portable electronic device.

Abstract
A portable electronic device having an input device for receiving a gesture based input from a user is used to control a navigation operation of an appliance. The portable electronic device receives via the input device the gesture based input and uses one or more parameters stored in a memory of the portable electronic device and one or more characteristics associated with the gesture based input to cause the portable electronic device to transmit a navigation step command to thereby control the navigation operation of the appliance.

22. A method for using a portable electronic device, having an input device for receiving a gesture based input from a user, to control a navigation operation of an appliance, comprising:
-
receiving via the input device of the portable electronic device the gesture based input; and causing the portable electronic device to transmit a navigation step command to thereby control the navigation operation of the appliance; wherein the navigation step command transmitted by the portable electronic device comprises a sequence of variable direction delta values, wherein each of variable direction delta values in the sequence is transmitted by the portable electronic device at a fixed interval, and wherein each of variable direction delta values is determined using one or more movement characteristics associated with the gesture based input and one or more parameters stored in a memory of the portable electronic device. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43)
