Controlling a computer system using epidermal electronic devices

A computer program product comprising:

• a computer readable storage medium readable by a processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by the processing circuit for performing a method comprising:
• detecting movement of a first epidermal electronic device relative to a second epidermal electronic device based on electronic signals of the first and second epidermal electronic devices, the first epidermal electronic device being associated with a first portion of a body of a user and the second epidermal electronic device being associated with a second portion of the body of the user;
• determining movement of the first portion of the body of the user relative to the second portion of the body of the user based on the detected movement of the first epidermal electronic device relative to the second epidermal electronic device;
• identifying a computer-recognizable input event correlated to the determined movement;
• and
• performing a computer function associated with the computer-recognizable input event, wherein a third epidermal electronic device is associated with a third portion of the body of the user, wherein the movement of the first portion of the body of the user relative to the second portion of the body of the user composes a gesture, wherein the composed gesture correlates to a plurality of different computer-recognizable input events, each associated with different trigger gesture properties, and wherein the method further comprises:
• detecting a trigger gesture as movement of the third epidermal electronic device based on movement of the third portion of the body of the user;
• determining the gesture composed by the movement of the first portion of the body of the user relative to the second portion of the body of the user;
• identifying the computer-recognizable input event, from the plurality of different computer-recognizable input events to which the composed gesture correlates, based on one or more properties of the trigger gesture;
• and
• triggering performance of the computer function associated with the identified computer-recognizable input event.

A computer system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor in communication with the memory, wherein the computer system is configured to perform a method, the method comprising:
• detecting movement of a first epidermal electronic device relative to a second epidermal electronic device based on electronic signals of the first and second epidermal electronic devices, the first epidermal electronic device being associated with a first portion of a body of a user and the second epidermal electronic device being associated with a second portion of the body of the user;
• determining movement of the first portion of the body of the user relative to the second portion of the body of the user based on the detected movement of the first epidermal electronic device relative to the second epidermal electronic device;
• identifying a computer-recognizable input event correlated to the determined movement;
• and
• performing a computer function associated with the computer-recognizable input event, wherein a third epidermal electronic device is associated with a third portion of the body of the user, wherein the movement of the first portion of the body of the user relative to the second portion of the body of the user composes a gesture, wherein the composed gesture correlates to a plurality of different computer-recognizable input events, each associated with different trigger gesture properties, and wherein the method further comprises:
• detecting a trigger gesture as movement of the third epidermal electronic device based on movement of the third portion of the body of the user;
• determining the gesture composed by the movement of the first portion of the body of the user relative to the second portion of the body of the user;
• identifying the computer-recognizable input event, from the plurality of different computer-recognizable input events to which the composed gesture correlates, based on one or more properties of the trigger gesture;
• and
• triggering performance of the computer function associated with the identified computer-recognizable input event.
