System and method for enhanced command input
First Claim
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 a controllable appliance, comprising:
- receiving via the input device of the portable electronic device a first gesture based input;
in response to the first gesture based input, causing the portable electronic device to transmit as a function of one or more characteristics associated with the first gesture based input and one or more parameters stored in a memory of the portable electronic device a series of navigation step commands to thereby control the navigation operation of the controllable appliance wherein the portable electronic device transmits a final portion of the series of navigation steps commands over a period of time that is subsequent to a completion of the first gesture based input;
receiving via the input device of the portable electronic device a second gesture based input during the period of time in which the portable electronic device is transmitting the final portion of the series of navigation step commands in response to the first gesture based input; and
in response to the second gesture based input, causing the portable electronic device to stop the transmission of any untransmitted ones of the navigation steps commands within the final portion of the series of navigation step commands that were being transmitted by the portable electronic device in response to the first gesture based input.

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.
