Abstract
A method of operating a touchless user interface on an electronic device is disclosed. The electronic device is configured to determine information regarding the position and/or movement of an input object. The method has the steps of: deciding that an engagement gesture has been performed; deciding that a related input gesture has been performed; and carrying out an operation on the device on the basis of the input gesture only if the engagement gesture has been recognized and if the input gesture is one of a subset of possible input gestures determined by the engagement gesture.
