Abstract
An input device is provided, such as for a vehicle, whereby a gesture may be provided to present an application associated with the gesture, even if another application is being displayed by an output. If a gesture does not match, the gesture may be processed as an input to the other application currently displayed. A time shift algorithm may be utilized to determine if the received gesture matches the gesture associated with the other application. Additionally, a dedicated close gesture may be utilized to dismiss a currently displayed application.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a processor, comprising memory for storing instructions for execution by the processor;
- an output component that presents a representation of the output of the processor;
- an input component that receives a gesture provided by a user and provides a logical representation of the gesture to the processor;
- and
- wherein the processor, receives the logical representation of the gesture, and compares the logical representation of the gesture to a representation of a model gesture, wherein the representation of a model gesture is associated with a first application;
- and
- wherein the processor upon determining that the logical representation of the gesture matches the representation of the model gesture associated with the first application, outputs a representation of the first application to the output component for presentation by the output component.
A method, comprising:
- presenting a representation of an output of a processor on an output device;
- receiving a gesture provided by a user to an input device;
- comparing the gesture with a model gesture, wherein the model gesture is associated with a first application;
- and
- upon the gesture being determined to match the model gesture, causing the output device to display the first application.
A system comprising:
- means to present a representation of an output of a processor on a device;
- means to receive a gesture provided by a user;
- means to compare the gesture with a model gesture, wherein the model gesture is associated with a first application;
- and
- means to, upon determining that the gesture matches the model gesture, present a representation of the first application.
