Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for interacting with an electronic and/or computer device comprising a control surface, at least one peripheral surface and a plurality of capacitive electrodes positioned at least along the control surface and arranged to detect control objects in a vicinity of said control surface and said at least one peripheral surface, which method comprising steps for (i) detecting (40, 41, 42, 43) a sequence of actions comprising a plurality of elementary actions performed at least partially sequentially, by at least one control object, at least partially in contact with or opposite said at least one peripheral surface and (ii) triggering (44), based on said sequence of actions, of at least one function in said device.The invention also relates to an interface and device implementing this method.
