You need Acceleration sensor and Orientation sensor as well to accuratelly recognize the move described in your video.

So, I would recommend to collect the data from mentioned sensors and describe movement (acceleration and orientation should have separate 3D functions) with few mathematical functions/graphs. Then , within certain accuracy, check whether repeated move matches expected behaviour on all axis.

You will need this for reference on the axis:

Looks like no change (or very small) should occur on Y-axis to describe move from your video.
