Zusammenfassung:	An embodiment method for controlling at least one functionality of an electronic device on the basis of a gesture of a user comprises detecting, by a sensor, a variation of electrostatic charge of the user during the execution of the gesture and generating a charge variation signal. The gesture includes moving at least one foot upward and, subsequently, downward. The method further includes, by a processing unit, acquiring the charge variation signal, detecting, in the charge variation signal, a characteristic identifying the gesture of moving the foot upward, detecting, in the charge variation signal, a characteristic identifying the gesture of moving the foot downward, and controlling the functionality of the electronic device only in the event that both the first and the second characteristics have been detected.
