Determine vertical direction of a touchmove

I had some issues in Ipad and solved it with two events

var ts;
$(document).bind('touchstart', function (e){
   ts = e.originalEvent.touches[0].clientY;
});

$(document).bind('touchend', function (e){
   var te = e.originalEvent.changedTouches[0].clientY;
   if(ts > te+5){
      slide_down();
   }else if(ts < te-5){
      slide_up();
   }
});
