Abstract: The system comprises the ability to detect certain gestures made by sliding a finger or stylus on a touch sensitive screen on a handheld device, even when a so called “screen lock” is active where the gesture is used to unlock the device and trigger the desired function associates with the gesture.
Abstract: A computer device with a sensor subsystem for detecting off-surface objects, that carries out continued processing of the position and shape of objects detected in the vicinity of the device, associates these positions and shapes with predetermined gesture states, determines if the object is transitioning between gesture states and provides feedback based on the determined transition between the gesture states.
