Abstract
System and methods for controlling a user experience are described. In an aspect, an interface can comprise an interface device for rendering content to a user, a sensor having a gesture zone associated therewith configured to detect a dexterous gesture of a user within the gesture zone and generate a sensor signal representing the dexterous gesture. A processor may be provided in communication with the sensor and the interface device. The processor receives the sensor signal, analyzes the sensor signal to determine a control action associated with the detected dexterous gesture of the user, and configures the user interface based upon the determined control action of the user.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, from one or more sensors, data corresponding to a gesture of a user;
- determining a user profile associated with the user;
- determining, based on the user profile, a control action corresponding to the gesture;
- determining, based on a proximity to the one or more sensors, a device from among a plurality of devices for applying the control action;
- and
- modifying, based on the control action, a user experience associated with the device.
A method comprising:
- receiving, from one or more sensors, first data corresponding to a gesture of a user;
- receiving an indication to associate the gesture with a control action;
- storing an association of the gesture with the control action in a user profile associated with the user;
- receiving, from the one or more sensors, second data corresponding to the gesture;
- determining, based on a proximity to the one or more sensors, a device from among a plurality of devices for applying the control action;
- and
- modifying, based on the control action, a user experience associated with the device.
A method comprising:
- receiving, from one or more sensors, data corresponding to a gesture of a user;
- determining a user profile associated with the user;
- determining, based on the user profile, a control action corresponding to the gesture;
- determining a device from among a plurality of devices for applying the control action;
- and
- modifying, based on the control action, a user experience associated with the device, wherein determining the device comprises determining, based on a proximity of the device to the sensor, the device.
