(57) Abstract :
The disclosure relates to a system and method for analyzing movements of a handheld electronic device. The system comprises:
memory; a microprocessor; a first module to generate movement data responsive to movements of the device; a second module
providing instructions to the microprocessor to map the movement data to a string representation relating to symbols in a spatial
coordinate system associated with the device and store the string representation in the memory; and a third module. The third module
provides instructions to the microprocessor to analyze data relating to the string representation against data relating to a gesture string
representing a gesture related to a command for the device to determine if the gesture has been imparted on the device; and if the
string representation sufficiently matches the gesture string, executes a command associated with the gesture on the device.
