Systems, methods, apparatuses, computer readable medium for controlling electronic devices

A system for controlling an electronic device by a user, the system comprising:

• a microprocessor running control software for:
• receiving a first signal indicative of a first action of the user;
• receiving a second signal indicative of motion or position of a part of the user's body;
• and
• generating a command signal for the electronic device based on a user gesture performed by the user, and
• a communication link for communicating the command signal to the electronic device;
• wherein the first signal is generated based on a body part of the user that is distinct from the body part providing the second signal, and
• wherein the user gesture comprises a combination of the first action and the motion or position of a part of the user's body, and
• wherein the control software recognizes the user gesture when a period of limited activity (POLA) of specified minimum duration is detected based on the second signal prior to the user gesture.
