Systems and methods of mapping a gesture to respective actions of respective applications

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a band of a wrist-wearable device, cause the one or more processors to:

• sense, with a plurality of sensors arranged in the band, first electrical signals travelling through a wrist of a user when wearing the band;
• output, from the plurality of sensors, signals comprising information indicating a first movement of at least one of the wrist, a hand, and fingers of the user;
• determine a first gesture of the user based at least in part on the information indicating the first movement of at least one of the wrist, the hand, and the fingers of the user;
• generate a first flag of a plurality of flags that identifies the first gesture of the user, wherein:
• each respective flag of the plurality of flags is mapped to a plurality of actions associated with the respective flag, including:
• a first action associated with a first end user application at an electronic device that is communicatively coupled to the wrist-wearable device;
• and
• a second action associated with a second end user application at the electronic device that is communicatively coupled to the wrist-wearable device, wherein the second end user application is distinct from the first end user application;
• and
• output the first flag that identifies the first gesture;
• sense, with the plurality of sensors arranged in the band, second electrical signals travelling through the wrist of the user when wearing the band;
• output, from the plurality of sensors, signals comprising information indicating a second movement, distinct from the first movement, of at least one of the wrist, the hand, and the fingers of the user;
• determine a second gesture, distinct from the first gesture, of the user based at least in part on the information indicating the second movement of at least one of the wrist, the hand, and the fingers of the user;
• map the first flag to the second gesture of the user, wherein the first flag is mapped to the first gesture and the second gesture;
• and
• output the first flag that identifies the second gesture of the user.

A method of operating a band of a wrist-wearable device, the method comprising:

• sensing, with a plurality of sensors arranged in the band, first electrical signals travelling through a wrist of a user when wearing the band;
• outputting, from the plurality of sensors, signals comprising information indicating a first movement of at least one of the wrist, a hand, and fingers of the user;
• determining a first gesture of the user based at least in part on the information indicating the first movement of at least one of the wrist, the hand, and the fingers of the user;
• generating a first flag of a plurality of flags that identifies the first gesture of the user, wherein:
• each respective flag of the plurality of flags is mapped to a plurality of actions associated with the respective flag, including:
• a first action associated with a first end user application at an electronic device that is communicatively coupled to the wrist-wearable device;
• and
• a second action associated with a second end user application at the electronic device that is communicatively coupled to the wrist-wearable device, wherein the second end user application is distinct from the first end user application;
• and
• outputting the first flag that identifies the first gesture;
• sensing, with the plurality of sensors arranged in the band, second electrical signals travelling through the wrist of the user when wearing the band;
• outputting, from the plurality of sensors, signals comprising information indicating a second movement, distinct from the first movement, of at least one of the wrist, the hand, and the fingers of the user;
• determining a second gesture, distinct from the first gesture, of the user based at least in part on the information indicating the second movement of at least one of the wrist, the hand, and the fingers of the user;
• mapping the first flag of the plurality of flags to the second gesture of the user, wherein the first flag is mapped to the first gesture and the second gesture;
• and
• outputting the first flag that identifies the second gesture of the user.
