Abstract
Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for surface determination via bone conduction. According to one aspect, a user device can identify a surface via bone conduction. The user device can identify one or more controllable devices to control using the surface. The user device can detect a user interaction, such as a gesture, performed by a user on the surface. The user device can provide an instruction to the controllable device(s) to cause the controllable device(s) to perform one or more operations in response to the user interaction with the surface.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- identifying, by a user device, a surface via bone conduction;
- identifying, by the user device, a controllable device to control using the surface;
- detecting, by the user device, a user interaction with the surface;
- and
- providing, by the user device, an instruction to the controllable device to cause the controllable device to perform an operation in response to the user interaction with the surface.
A user device comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform operations comprising:
- identifying a surface via bone conduction,
- identifying a controllable device to control using the surface,
- detecting a user interaction with the surface, and
- providing an instruction to the controllable device to cause the controllable device to perform an operation in response to the user interaction with the surface.
A computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor of a user device, cause the user device to perform operations comprising:
- identifying a surface via bone conduction;
- identifying a controllable device to control using the surface;
- detecting a user interaction with the surface;
- and
- providing an instruction to the controllable device to cause the controllable device to perform an operation in response to the user interaction with the surface.
