Apparatus, methods, and computer program products providing context-dependent gesture recognition

摘要

At least some exemplary embodiments of the invention enable the use of context-dependent gestures, for example, in order to assist in the automation of one or more tasks. In one exemplary embodiment, an apparatus senses a predefined gesture and, in conjunction with context information (e.g., location information), performs a predefined action in response to the gesture. As non-limiting examples, the gesture may involve movement of the apparatus (e.g., shaking, tapping) or movement relative to the apparatus (e.g., using a touch screen). In one exemplary embodiment of the invention, a method includes: obtaining context information for an apparatus, wherein the context information includes a predefined context; and in response to sensing a predefined movement associated with the predefined context, performing, by the apparatus, a predefined action, wherein the predefined movement includes a movement of or in relation to the apparatus.
