Abstract
A method and system for cyclic motion gesturing is provided. The method includes receiving at a motion sensor coupled with a processor a first motion associated with an e-reader, receiving a second motion associated with an e-reader at the motion sensor, the second motion being a counter motion of the first motion, wherein the first and second motions are associated with moving the e-reader form a first point in space to a second point in space and then back to the first point in space within a predetermined period of time, determining the first and second motions indicate a multi-motion command gesture corresponding to a first function performable on the e-Reader and automatically performing the first function on the e-reader in response to the multi-motion command gesture.
