Abstract
Gesture functionality is provided in a computing environment. In example embodiments, a gesture input is received. A style difference is identified between a known gesture input of a set of known gesture inputs and the received gesture input. The set of known gesture inputs is caused to be modified to include the style difference by updating a database that stores the set of known gesture inputs.
Claims20
A method to provide gesture functionality, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, a gesture input;
- identifying, by the computing device, a style difference between a known gesture input of a set of known gesture inputs and the received gesture input;
- learning, by the computing device, to recognize the received gesture input as the known gesture input based on identifying the style difference;
- and
- causing, by the computing device, an action that corresponds to the known gesture input to be performed within a networked environment.
A computing device comprising:
- at least one user interface to receive a gesture input;
- and
- a gesture engine implemented at the computing device to:
- identify a style difference between a known gesture input of a set of known gesture inputs and the received gesture input;
- learn to recognize the received gesture input as the known gesture input based on identifying the style difference;
- and
- cause an action that corresponds to the known gesture input to be performed within a networked environment.
One or more computer-readable storage media having stored thereon instructions that are executable by a computing device to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a gesture input;
- identifying a style difference between a known gesture input of a set of known gesture inputs and the received gesture input;
- learning to recognize the received gesture input as the known gesture input based on identifying the style difference;
- and
- causing an action that corresponds to the known gesture input to be performed within a networked environment.
