Detecting a gesture
First Claim
1. A method for detecting a gesture comprising:
- detecting a first input object, a second input object, and a movement of the first input object, a movement of the second input object in a sensing region during a first time period;
detecting the first input object leaving the sensing region during a second time period, the second time period occurring after the first time period;
detecting a third input object and movement for the third input object in the sensing region during a third time period, the third time period occurring after the first time period and after the second time period, and the third input object only detected after the first time period;
identifying a first gesture based on the movement of the first input object, the movement of the second input object, and the movement of the third input object; and
outputting gesture information identifying the first gesture,wherein the second input object remains in the sensing region for the first time period, the second time period, and at least a portion of the third time period.

Abstract
A method for detecting a gesture includes detecting a first input object, a second input object, and a movement of the first input object, a movement of the second input object in a sensing region during a first time period. The method further includes detecting a third input object and movement for the third input object in the sensing region during a second time period, the second time period occurring after the first time period, and the third input object only detected after the first time period. The method further includes identifying a first gesture based on the movement of the first input object, the movement of the second input object, and the movement of the third input object, and outputting gesture information identifying the first gesture.
