Method and system for gesture identification
First Claim
1. A method for gesture identification comprising:
- determining a first gesture is performed on a surface sensing region, wherein the first gesture comprises at least one input object;
determining a first action corresponding to the first gesture, the first action being a scroll of at least a portion of the sensing region;
issuing, based on performing the first gesture, a first report reporting the first gesture and the first action;
determining, within a first predefined length of time subsequent to performing the first gesture, a presence of the at least one input object in an above surface sensing region;
determining a second action corresponding to the first gesture and the at least one input object being in the above surface sensing region within the predefined length of time,wherein determining the second action comprises;
determining an ending position of the at least one input object on the surface sensing region at the end of the performance of the first gesture;
determining an above surface position of the at least one input object during the performance of the second gesture; and
determining a slope between the ending position and the above surface position with respect to the surface sensing region, the slope corresponding to a vertical distance divided by a horizontal distance between the ending position and the above surface position, the horizontal distance being with respect to the surface sensing region,wherein the second action is determined, based on the slope, to be a continuance of the scroll in the first action; and
issuing a second report reporting the second action.

Abstract
A method for gesture identification includes determining a first gesture is performed on a surface sensing region. The first gesture includes at least one input object. The method further includes determining a first action corresponding to the first gesture, and issuing, based on performing the first gesture, a first report reporting the first gesture and the first action. The method further includes determining, within a first predefined length of time subsequent to performing the first gesture, a presence of the at least one input object in an above surface sensing region, determining a second action corresponding to the first gesture and the at least one input object being in the above surface sensing region within the predefined length of time, and issuing a second report reporting the second action.
