Abstract
Various methods and systems are provided to allow a user to perform finger gesture motions, such as making typing, swiping, tapping, or other types of finger motions to provide device input, such as typing, clicking, or selecting data into a webpage, application, operating system, or toolbar, that was normally performed by the user having to use a keyboard, mouse, stylus, microphone, touchscreen, or another input device.
Claims21
(canceled)
A system comprising:
- a non-transitory memory;
- and
- one or more hardware processors coupled to the non-transitory memory and configured to execute instructions to cause the system to perform operations comprising:
- receiving an input of a gesture motion made by a user and provided by a sensor associated with a user device;
- creating a current gesture mapping based on the gesture motion;
- determining that the current gesture mapping corresponds with a stored gesture mapping that is associated with an action for the user device, wherein the stored gesture mapping is prioritized based on a frequency the stored gesture mapping is accessed;
- and
- performing the action associated with the stored gesture mapping that corresponds with the current gesture mapping.

A non-transitory machine readable medium having stored thereon machine-readable instructions executable to cause a machine to perform operations comprising:
- receiving an input of a gesture motion made by a user and provided by a sensor associated with a user device;
- creating a current gesture mapping based on the gesture motion;
- determining that the current gesture mapping corresponds with a stored gesture mapping that is associated with an action for the user device, wherein the stored gesture mapping is prioritized based on a frequency the stored gesture mapping is accessed;
- and
- performing the action associated with the stored gesture mapping that corresponds with the current gesture mapping.
