Handheld electronic device having gesture-based control and a method of using same
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- determining from a motion signal a movement type associated with a movement of an electronic device from a number predetermined types of movement, the movement type being determined to be a repetitive movement;
determining whether a cadence parameter is greater than or equal to a first cadence reference level, the cadence parameter being an average duration of a period between repetitive movements; and
performing a first command when the cadence parameter is greater than or equal to the first cadence reference level.

Abstract
The present disclosure describes a handheld electronic device having a gesture-based control and a method of using the same. In one embodiment, there is provided a method, comprising: determining from a motion signal a movement type associated with a movement of the electronic device from a number predetermined types of movement; determining whether a cadence parameter is greater than or equal to a first cadence reference level, wherein the cadence parameter is dependent on the movement type; performing a first command when the cadence parameter is greater than or equal to the first cadence reference level; and performing a second command is performed when the cadence parameter is less than the first cadence reference level.

6. A method, comprising:
-
determining, from a motion signal, when a repetitive movement of an electronic device has occurred; determining a cadence parameter associated with the repetitive movement, the cadence parameter being an average duration of a period between repetitive movements; performing a first command when the cadence parameter is greater than or equal to a first threshold; and performing a second command when the cadence parameter is less than the first threshold. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9)

10. A method, comprising:
-
determining a rate of repetitive movement of an electronic device by determining an average duration of a period between repetitive movements; increasing a rate of reproduction of media when the rate of movement is greater than or equal to a first threshold; and decreasing the rate of reproduction of media when the rate of movement is less than the first threshold. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
