Effects of gravity on gestures

摘要

Techniques involving an effect of gravity on gestures are described. In one or more implementations, the techniques describe gestures that are usable to provide inputs and therefore initiate operations of a computing device, such as a mobile communications device having telephone functionality. The techniques described herein may be employed to reduce an effect of gravity on an input that describes the gesture. A variety of different gestures are contemplated, such as gestures that are recognized as involving acceleration, e.g., acceleration.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
recognizing an input received by a computing device as describing acceleration; reducing an effect of gravity from the input by the computing device; and identifying a gesture from the input that has the effect of gravity reduced by comparing an order of a plurality of crossings of positive and negative thresholds for one or more of the x, y, or z axis described by the input with a description of the gesture that specifies an order of a plurality of crossings of positive and negative thresholds for one or more of the x, y, or z axis, the gesture effective to cause an operation to be performed by the computing device.
