Abstract
Various embodiments of a system and methods for touch gesture recognition are described. A software developer may create a set of custom touch gestures by training a gesture development tool. A new touch gesture may be input to the tool by repeatedly executing the gesture on a touch-enabled device or by depicting parameters of the gesture in a graphical language. A developer may provide a software command associated with the gesture. A unique, software-recognizable gesture descriptor may be created to represent each gesture. The gesture descriptor, a unique identifier of the gesture descriptor and the command associated with the gesture may all be stored as an entry in a configuration file. The file may be embedded in a software application and may be used by a gesture classification module to translate user touch gestures applied to the software application into commands to be executed by the software application.
