Classification of gesture detection systems through use of known and yet to be worn sensors

An apparatus for gesture recognition, said apparatus comprising:

• means for classifying a gesture based on a movement of a body part, the movement detected by a primary sensor;
• means for determining a reliability level of a secondary sensor;
• means for obtaining corroborating information associated with the movement of the body part using the secondary sensor when the reliability level satisfies a criterion;
• and
• means for confirming or negating the classification of the gesture based on the corroborating information.

An apparatus for gesture recognition, said apparatus comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processing system coupled to the memory and configured to:
• classify a gesture based on a movement of a body part, the movement detected by a primary sensor;
• determine a reliability level of a secondary sensor;
• obtain corroborating information associated with the movement of the body part using the secondary sensor when the reliability level satisfies a criterion;
• and
• confirm or negate the classification of the gesture based on the corroborating information.

A computer program product for gesture recognition, said product comprising:

• a computer-readable medium comprising code for:
• classifying a gesture based on a movement of a body part, the movement detected by a primary sensor;
• determining a reliability level of a secondary sensor;
• obtaining corroborating information associated with the movement of the body part using the secondary sensor when the reliability level satisfies a criterion;
• and
• confirming or negating the classification of the gesture based on the corroborating information.
