METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DISTRIBUTED USER INTERFACES USING WEARABLE DEVICES TO CONTROL MOBILE AND CONSUMER ELECTRONIC DEVICES

摘要

A method for communicating control information by a wearable device is disclosed. The method includes determining a first movement according to a first degree of freedom as being gesture-related and a second movement according to a second degree of freedom as being gesture-related; generating a first set of possibly performed gestures based on the first movement; generating a second set of possibly performed gestures based on the second movement; inferring, from the first and second sets, whether the first movement is representative of an intended command; and transmitting information based on the inference. An apparatus for performing the method is also disclosed.
