CONTROLLING DEVICES' BEHAVIORS VIA CHANGES IN THEIR RELATIVE LOCATIONS AND POSITIONS

摘要

A mechanism is provided for allowing a user to manipulate the behavior of an electronic device by training the device to react to user-taught gestures in a certain manner. A user performs a characteristic gesture with the electronic device and/or changes the device position. When a user gesture movement is detected, a determination is then made as to whether the device behavior requested by the user movement was correctly presented to the user. If the device behavior is not correctly presented to a user, the user is allowed to train the electronic device to react to a user gesture movement by associating the user gesture movement with a particular device behavior.
