Enhanced user interaction with a device

摘要

Enhancing user interaction with the device is provided comprising the steps of receiving a user input which may be touch input such as a swipe, drag or tap, receiving a signal comprising information indicating a motion and/or orientation of a sensor during a period of time occurring before, during, and/or after occurrence of the user input and performing an operation depending on the user input and the motion and/or orientation of the sensor. The device and the motion unit may be provided as separate devices where the motion unit may be attached to the user or worn as a ring for instance. The motion unit may be incorporated into or attached to the input object so the result of the input is influenced by motion of the input object. An operation is performed depending on a touch input and the determined characteristics of the motion and may also depend on the timing of the motion relative to the input.
