Abstract
In a method for detecting a repetitive three-dimensional gesture by a computing device, a three-dimensional gesture sensor detects a plurality of positions corresponding to a finger movement. The computing device determines whether the plurality of positions contain a gesture cycle by: comparing at least two non-adjacent positions in the plurality of positions; and upon determining that the at least two non-adjacent positions match, determining that the plurality of positions contain the gesture cycle. Upon determining that the plurality of positions contains the gesture cycle, the computing device creates a gesture cycle record for the gesture cycle, creates a repetitive gesture record for a repetitive gesture, and stores the gesture cycle record in the repetitive gesture record.
