System and method for cyclic motion gesture
First Claim
1. A method executed in a processor of a computing device, the computing device further including a memory storing instructions and a display screen having touch functionality, the method comprising:
- receiving at a motion sensor coupled with said processor a first motion associated with an e-reader;
receiving a second motion associated with said e-reader at said motion sensor, said second motion being a counter motion of said first motion;
wherein said first and second motions are associated with moving said e-reader form a first point in space to a second point in space to a third point in space and then back to said first point in space within a predetermined period of time;
determining said first and second motions indicate a multi-motion command gesture corresponding to a first function performable on said e-reader; and
automatically performing said first function on said e-reader in response to said multi-motion command gesture.

Abstract
A method and system for cyclic motion gesturing is provided. The method includes receiving at a motion sensor coupled with a processor a first motion associated with an e-reader, receiving a second motion associated with an e-reader at the motion sensor, the second motion being a counter motion of the first motion, wherein the first and second motions are associated with moving the e-reader form a first point in space to a second point in space and then back to the first point in space within a predetermined period of time, determining the first and second motions indicate a multi-motion command gesture corresponding to a first function performable on the e-Reader and automatically performing the first function on the e-reader in response to the multi-motion command gesture.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores instructions for a computing device, the computing device including a processor, a memory and a display screen having touch functionality, the instructions being executable by the processor to cause the computing device to perform operations that include:
-
receiving at a motion sensor coupled with said processor a first motion associated with an e-reader; receiving a second motion associated with said e-reader at said motion sensor, said second motion being a counter motion of said first motion; wherein said first and second motions are associated with moving said e-reader form a first point in space to a second point in space to a third point in space and then back to said first point in space within a predetermined period of time; determining said first and second motions indicate a multi-motion command gesture corresponding to a first function performable on said e-reader; and automatically performing said first function on said e-reader in response to said multi-motion command gesture. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computing device comprising:
-
a memory that stores a set of instructions; a display screen having touch functionality; a processor that access the instructions in memory, the processor configured to; receive at a motion sensor coupled with said processor a first motion associated with an e-reader; receive a second motion associated with said e-reader at said motion sensor, said second motion being a counter motion of said first motion; wherein said first and second motions are associated with moving said e-reader form a first point in space to a second point in space to a third point in space and then back to said first point in space within a predetermined period of time; determine said first and second motions indicate a multi-motion command gesture corresponding to a first function performable on said e-reader; and automatically perform said first function on said e-reader in response to said multi-motion command gesture. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
