Gesture control based on prosthetic nerve signal detection

摘要

Methods and systems are disclosed herein for a media guidance application which may control a user device, which may receive a radio-frequency signal from a user device, corresponding to an electromyography signature received from a user. The media guidance application may also cross-reference the electromyography signature with first and second databases to determine an attempted user motion and a media guidance application operation corresponding to the electromyography signature. In response to determining the media guidance application operation to be performed, the media guidance application may perform said media guidance application operation on the user device.

1. A method for controlling a user device, the method comprising:
receiving an RF signal from a user device, wherein the RF signal corresponds to an electromyography (EMG) signature received from a user; comparing the EMG signature with a first database listing EMG signatures that corresponds to different attempted user motions to determine an attempted user motion that corresponds to the user EMG signature; comparing the attempted user motion that corresponds to the user EMG signature with a second database listing media guidance application operations to determine a media guidance application operation that corresponds to the attempted user motion; and in response to determining the media guidance application operation to be performed, performing the media guidance application operation on the user device,
wherein the attempted user motion relates to motion of an appendage that is no longer attached to the user, andwherein the media guidance application operation provides media guidance data to the user.
