Abstract
Techniques for device connections using touch gestures are described. A method may comprise receiving a first gesture input at a first electronic device, receiving, at the first electronic device, a second gesture input from a second computing device in proximity to the first computing device, comparing the first gesture input and the second gesture input, and establishing a wireless connection between the first computing device and the second computing device if a similarity of the first gesture input and the second gesture input meets or exceeds a similarity threshold based on the comparing. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Claims34
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving a first gesture input at a first electronic device;
- receiving, at the first electronic device, a second gesture input from a second electronic device in proximity to the first electronic device;
- comparing the first gesture input and the second gesture input;
- and
- establishing a wireless connection between the first electronic device and the second electronic device if a similarity of the first gesture input and the second gesture input meets or exceeds a similarity threshold based on the comparing.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a touch-screen display;
- a processor coupled to the touch-screen display;
- and
- a memory unit coupled to the processor, the memory unit to store a gesture recognition application operative on the processor to receive a first gesture input entered via the touch-screen display, receive a second gesture input entered via a touch-screen display of an electronic device in proximity to the apparatus, compare the first gesture input and the second gesture input, and establish a wireless connection between the apparatus and the electronic device if a similarity of the first gesture input and the second gesture input meets or exceeds a similarity threshold based on the comparing.
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving a first gesture input from a first electronic device;
- receiving a second gesture input from a second electronic device;
- comparing the first gesture input and the second gesture input;
- and
- establishing a wireless connection between the first electronic device and the second electronic device if a similarity of the first gesture input and the second gesture input meets or exceeds a similarity threshold based on the comparing.
An apparatus, comprising:
- one or more wireless transceivers;
- a processor coupled to the one or more wireless transceivers;
- and
- a memory unit coupled to the processor, the memory unit to store a gesture recognition application operative on the processor to receive a first gesture input from a first electronic device, receive a second gesture input from a second electronic device, compare the first gesture input and the second gesture input, and establishing a wireless connection between the first electronic device and the second electronic device if a similarity of the first gesture input and the second gesture input meets or exceeds a similarity threshold based on the comparing.
A system, comprising:
- a first electronic device operative to receive a first gesture input via a touch interface of the first electronic device;
- a second electronic device operative to receive a second gesture input via a touch interface of the second electronic device;
- and
- a third electronic device operative to receive the first gesture input from the first electronic device and the second gesture input from the second electronic device, to compare the first gesture input and the second gesture input, and to establish a wireless connection between the first electronic device and the second electronic device if a similarity of the first gesture input and the second gesture input meets or exceeds a similarity threshold based on the comparing.
