Abstract

Electronic unit, and method for providing input to the electronic unit, the unit comprising a sensor being capableof sensing direction of a movement over the sensor, and the method comprising the steps of: sensing the direction of a movement, categorising the sensed direction into a chosen number of categories, said categories each being related to one or more signs, e.g. characters, on the ending of said movement, providing the related sign or command to the electronic unit as input.
