In an example, a system for detecting an object in an area over a screen of a mobile device may comprise a light source and a photodetector tilted toward the screen. Since a field of view of the photodetector and a radiation field of the light source may be directed toward the screen, the system may detect that a user performed a non-contacting gesture in the area over the screen. In another example, a system for detecting multiple modes of finger gestures may detect at least one of a signature gesture, a thumb joystick mode, or a thumb mouse mode. The system can execute a calendar application upon detecting that a user gestured in the shape of a letter "C". When detecting a thumb gesture, the system may utilize a sensor having a reduced range relative to the range needed for hand gestures and, thereby, reduce power consumption. |
