( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

If it's acceptable to require button press/release, then the user presses the button before starting the swipe, then releases it at the end of the swipe. Then you compare the start and end positions. The axis with the largest change in position, and its direction, is your swipe. Example, from 1,4 to 20,100 is an up swipe.

This would be like swiping on a virtual touch screen. the button press being like your finger contacting the screen, and the release being like your finger lifting off the screen.

Otherwise, you could try filtering out "swipes" shorter than some threshold, then "decode" the remaining (large) swipes the same as above.

You will need to experiment to determine the threshold.

It is possible to devise an adaptive algorithm for distinguishing random hand movement from intentional swipes by tracking the largest "small" movement over a sliding wondow window of a few minutes, then accepting a movement significantly larger as a control swipe. Again, you will have to experiment.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
