SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PERFORMING A DEVICE ACTION BASED ON A DETECTED GESTURE

摘要

Systems and methods for performing an action based on a detected gesture are provided. The systems and methods provided herein may detect a direction of an initial touchless gesture and process subsequent touchless gestures based on the direction of the initial touchless gesture. The systems and methods may translate a coordinate system related to a user device and a gesture library based on the detected direction such that subsequent touchless gestures may be processed based on the detected direction. The systems and methods may allow a user to make a touchless gesture over a device to interact with the device independent of the orientation of the device since the direction of the initial gesture can set the coordinate system or context for subsequent gesture detection.

1. A method for performing an action, comprising:
detecting, by a first gesture detection sensor coupled to or integrated in a device, motion of a control object moving over the device; determining, by one or more processors of the device, a direction of movement of the control object; detecting, by a second gesture detection sensor, a touchless gesture performed over the device; and performing, by one or more processors, an action based on the detected touchless gesture and the determined direction of movement.
