Abstract

A method is provided for detecting gesture inputs in response to a consecutive reciprocating movement before a detecting device, wherein, the consecutive reciprocating movement is made of a first type of gesture and a second type of gesture, each capable of being recognized by the detecting device to output a different control signal. The method comprises the steps of receiving the consecutive reciprocating movement starting with a first type of gesture among the two types, wherein, the first type of gesture and the second type of gesture occur alternately, and outputting control signals corresponding to the first type of gesture with times number equaling to the number of the first of type gesture contained within the consecutive reciprocating movement.
