Abstract
A method for detecting a gesture includes detecting a first input object, a second input object, and a movement of the first input object, a movement of the second input object in a sensing region during a first time period. The method further includes detecting a third input object and movement for the third input object in the sensing region during a second time period, the second time period occurring after the first time period, and the third input object only detected after the first time period. The method further includes identifying a first gesture based on the movement of the first input object, the movement of the second input object, and the movement of the third input object, and outputting gesture information identifying the first gesture.
