Abstract
An electronic device may be controlled using nerve analysis by measuring a nerve activity level for one or more body parts of a user of the device using one or more nerve sensors associated with the electronic device. A relationship can be determined between the user's one or more body parts and an intended interaction by the user with one or more components of the electronic device using each nerve activity level determined. A control input or reduced set of likely actions can be established for the electronic device based on the relationship determined.
Claims22
A method for controlling an electronic device using nerve analysis, comprising:
- a) measuring a nerve activity level for one or more body parts of a user of the device using one or more nerve sensors associated with the electronic device;
- b) determining a relationship between the user's one or more body parts and an intended interaction by the user with one or more components of the electronic device using each nerve activity level determined in a);
- and
- c) establishing a control input or reduced set of likely actions for the electronic device based on the relationship determined in b).
An electronic device, comprising:
- one or more nerve sensors;
- a processor operably coupled to the one or more nerve sensors;
- and
- instructions executable by the processor configured to:
- a) measure a nerve activity level for one or more body parts of a user of a computer program of the electronic device using the one or more nerve sensors;
- b) determine a relationship between the user's one or more body parts and an intended interaction by the user with one or more components of the electronic device using each nerve activity level determined in a);
- and
- c) establish a control input or reduced set of likely actions for the electronic device based on the relationship determined in b).
A computer program product, comprising:
- a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied in said medium for controlling a computer program running on an electronic device using nerve analysis, said computer product having:
- a) computer readable program code means for measuring a nerve activity level for one or more body parts of a user of the computer program using one or more nerve sensors associated with the electronic device;
- b) computer readable program code means for determining a relationship between the user's one or more body parts and an intended interaction by the user with one or more components of the electronic device using each nerve activity level determined in a);
- and
- c) computer readable program code means for establishing a control input for the computer program based on the relationship determined in b).
