Abstract
A method can include receiving vibration signals responsive to an object contacting a location on a housing of a computing device; analyzing the vibration signals to determine the location; associating the location with a predetermined value; and transmitting the predetermined value.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving vibration signals responsive to an object contacting a location on a housing of a computing device;
- analyzing the vibration signals to determine the location;
- associating the location with a predetermined value as a response to a question;
- and
- transmitting the predetermined value via wireless communication circuitry of the computing device for compiling a plurality of the predetermined values from a number of the computing devices to determine at least a number of correct responses to the question.
2 more elements
A computing device comprising:
- a processor;
- memory accessible to the processor;
- wireless communication circuitry;
- a housing;
- a vibration sensor;
- and processor-executable instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to instruct the computing device to:
- receive vibration signals via the vibration sensor responsive to an object contacting a location on the housing;
- analyze the vibration signals to determine the location;
- associate the location with a predetermined value as a response to a question;
- and
- transmit the predetermined value via the wireless communication circuitry for compiling a plurality of the predetermined values from a number of the computing devices to determine at least a number of correct responses to the question.
8 more elements
One or more computer-readable storage media comprising computer-executable instructions executable to instruct a computing device to:
- receive vibration signals responsive to an object contacting a location on a housing of the computing device;
- analyze the vibration signals to determine the location;
- associate the location with a predetermined value as a response to a question;
- and
- transmit the predetermined value via wireless communication circuitry of the computing device for compiling a plurality of the predetermined values from a number of the computing devices to determine at least a number of correct responses to the question.
