Apparatus, method, and program product for detecting input gestures

A method comprising:

• detecting, by use of a processor, an input;
• determining a centric position of the input, wherein a vertical axis and a horizontal axis of a virtual coordinate plane extend through the centric position of the input such that an origin of the virtual coordinate plane is positioned within the centric position of the input;
• and
• determining that the input comprises a circular gesture if the input intersects at least a positive point on a first axis extending through the origin, a negative point on the first axis, a positive point on a second axis extending through the origin, and a negative point on the second axis.

A program product comprising a computer readable storage medium that stores code executable by a processor, the executable code comprising code to perform:

• detecting an input;
• determining a centric position of the input, wherein a vertical axis and a horizontal axis of a virtual coordinate plane extend through the centric position of the input such that an origin of the virtual coordinate plane is positioned within the centric position of the input;
• and
• determining that the input comprises a circular gesture if the input intersects at least a positive point on a first axis extending through the origin, a negative point on the first axis, a positive point on a second axis extending through the origin, and a negative point on the second axis.
