Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for enabling use of remote devices with pre-defined gestures

An apparatus comprising a processor and a memory including computer program code, the memory and the computer program code configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to:

• receive operation information from a remote device, wherein the operation information indicates at least one operation that may be invoked by the remote device;
• associate at least one pre-defined gesture with the at least one operation;
• receive user input;
• determine that the user input corresponds to the at least one pre-defined gesture;
• and
• cause transmission of indication information to the remote device, wherein the indication information provides an indication to the remote device to perform the at least one operation associated with the pre-defined gesture.

Computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium having program code portions means stored thereon, the program code portions being a computer readable medium and configured when said program product is run on a computer or network device, to:

• receive operation information from a remote device, wherein the operation information indicates at least one operation that may be invoked by the remote device;
• associate at least one pre-defined gesture with the at least one operation;
• receive user input;
• determine that the user input corresponds to the at least one pre-defined gesture;
• and
• cause transmission of indication information to the remote device, wherein the indication information provides an indication to the remote device to perform the at least one operation associated with the pre-defined gesture.
