Abstract
A method and system for utilizing a multi-part gesture for operating an electronic personal display is disclosed. One example couples at least one gesture recognitions sensor with the electronic personal display. A multi-part gesture is recognized at the at least one gesture recognition sensor. The multi-part gesture includes a first gesture part invoking a pre-defined set of digital reading operations to be performed on a digital content item rendered on the electronic personal display and at least a second gesture part invoking a specific digital reading operation from the pre-defined set of digital reading operations. Once determined, the specific digital reading operation is performed on the electronic personal display.
Claims21
A method for utilizing a multi-part gesture for operating an electronic personal display, said method comprising:
- coupling at least one gesture recognitions sensor with the electronic personal display;
- recognizing a multi-part gesture at the at least one gesture recognition sensor, wherein the multi-part gesture comprises:
- a first gesture part invoking a pre-defined set of digital reading operations to be performed on a digital content item rendered on the electronic personal display;
- at least a second gesture part invoking a specific digital reading operation from the pre-defined set of digital reading operations;
- and
- performs the specific digital reading operation on the electronic personal display.
An electronic reader (eReader) with multi-part gesture recognition comprising:
- at least one gesture recognition sensor coupled with the eReader;
- a monitoring module to monitor the gesture recognition sensor for a multi-part gesture related to a digital reading operation and provide an output when the multi-part gesture is detected, the multi-part gesture comprising:
- a first gesture part to delineate a pre-defined set of menu command options;
- and
- at least a second gesture part to select a specific command from the pre-defined set of menu command options;
- and
- a gesture correlater to correlate the first gesture part received from the monitoring module with the pre-defined set of menu command options and to correlate the second gesture part received from the monitoring module with the specific command from the pre-defined set of menu command options;
- and
- an operation module to receive the output from the monitoring module and perform the digital reading operation on a digital content item rendered on the eReader.
A method for utilizing a multi-part gesture for operating an electronic reader (eReader), said method comprising:
- receiving a first gesture part of a multi-part gesture from at least one gesture recognition sensor coupled with the eReader;
- correlating the first gesture part with a predefined gesture invoking a pre-defined set of menu command options;
- receiving a second gesture part of the multi-part gesture from the at least one gesture recognition sensor coupled with the eReader;
- correlating the second gesture part of the multi-part gesture with a predefined gesture denoting a digital reading operation to be performed on a digital content item rendered on the eReader;
- and
- performing the digital reading operation on the eReader.
