TLDR
In this article, the authors described a system for processing touch inputs with respect to a multipoint sensing device and identifying at least one multipoint gesture based on the data from the multi-point sensing device.
Abstract: 
Methods and systems for processing touch inputs are disclosed. The invention in one respect includes reading data from a multipoint sensing device such as a multipoint touch screen where the data pertains to touch input with respect to the multipoint sensing device, and identifying at least one multipoint gesture based on the data from the multipoint sensing device.

Method and apparatus for recognizing gestures on a computer system

Arnaud Gourdol
TL;DR: In this paper, a stroke is input by a user onto a computer screen, and the stroke is smoothed by reducing the number of points that represent the stroke, and angles between adjacent segments of the smoothed stroke and derivatives of the angles are calculated.
