Abstract

An apparatus and method for identifying gestures performed on a touch-sensing surface. In one embodiment, a gesture recognition unit processes an input signal to determine input metrics associated with contacts at the touch-sensing surface. The gesture recognition unit identifies a gesture based on comparing at least one of the input metrics with a threshold value associated with the gesture.
