Abstract

On a computing device having a motion sensor interface, a first tap a first point is detected via the motion sensor interface. A second tap is detected via the motion sensor interface at a second point within a fixed time interval of detecting the first tap. In response to determining that the second point is inside a fixed radius of the first point, the first tap and the second tap are processed as an instance of a first gesture. Otherwise, in response to determining that the second point is outside the fixed radius of the first point, the first tap and the second tap are processed as an instance of a second gesture.
