PROCESSING OF GESTURES RELATED TO A WIRELESS USER DEVICE AND A COMPUTING DEVICE

摘要

In a general aspect, a computer-readable storage medium can be configured to store instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform a process. The instructions can include instructions to detect a gesture defined by an interaction of a user with a surface of a computing device, and initiate a wireless operation associated with a wireless module of the computing device when a representation of the gesture matches a gesture signature stored in a gesture database.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
changing a gesture detection module of a computing device from an operational mode to a learning mode; defining, while the gesture detection module is in the learning mode, a first gesture signature based on a gesture including a first interaction of a user with the computing device, the first interaction including tapping the computing device with a wireless device; associating the first gesture signature with a first wireless operation, the first wireless operation including at least initiating a wireless connection sequence; changing the gesture detection module from the learning mode to the operational mode; defining, while the gesture detection module is in the operational mode, a representation of the gesture based a second interaction of the user with the computing device, the second interaction including tapping the computing device with the wireless device; matching the representation of the gesture with a corresponding gesture signature from a plurality of gesture signatures, including:
resolving a conflict identified during the matching, between the first gesture signature and a second gesture signature different from the first gesture signature, or between the first wireless operation and a second wireless operation, based on a specified threshold condition associated with at least one characteristic of the representation of the gesture compared with a characteristic of the first gesture signature; andwhen a conflict is not identified during the matching, matching the representation of the gesture with the first gesture signature; and initiating, while the gesture detection module is in the operational mode, the first wireless operation in response to resolving the conflict and matching the representation of the gesture with the first gesture signature.
