Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to managing inputs. In some examples, one or more techniques are described, such as managing location-defined inputs, enabling certain inputs, interacting with locked objects, interacting with interface objects, virtual controller-based inputs, and gaze directed inputs.
Claims14
A method, comprising:
- at a computer system that is in communication with a display generation component and one or more input devices:
- while presenting, via the display generation component, a user interface object, detecting gaze input directed to the user interface object;
- after detecting the gaze input directed to the user interface object, detecting, via the one or more input devices, an air gesture, wherein the air gesture is detected before detecting that the gaze input is directed to a location that does not correspond to the user interface object;
- and
- in response to detecting the air gesture:
- in accordance with a determination that one or more eyes of the user were opened in conjunction with the air gesture being detected, performing an operation corresponding to the user interface object;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that one or more eyes of the user were closed for more than a threshold amount of time in conjunction with the air gesture being detected, forgoing performing the operation corresponding to the user interface object.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of a computer system that is in communication with a display generation component and one or more input devices, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- while presenting, via the display generation component, a user interface object, detecting gaze input directed to the user interface object;
- after detecting the gaze input directed to the user interface object, detecting, via the one or more input devices, an air gesture, wherein the air gesture is detected before detecting that the gaze input is directed to a location that does not correspond to the user interface object;
- and
- in response to detecting the air gesture:
- in accordance with a determination that one or more eyes of the user were opened in conjunction with the air gesture being detected, performing an operation corresponding to the user interface object;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that one or more eyes of the user were closed for more than a threshold amount of time in conjunction with the air gesture being detected, forgoing performing the operation corresponding to the user interface object.
A computer system that is in communication with a display generation component and one or more input devices, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- while presenting, via the display generation component, a user interface object, detecting gaze input directed to the user interface object;
- after detecting the gaze input directed to the user interface object, detecting, via the one or more input devices, an air gesture, wherein the air gesture is detected before detecting that the gaze input is directed to a location that does not correspond to the user interface object;
- and
- in response to detecting the air gesture:
- in accordance with a determination that one or more eyes of the user were opened in conjunction with the air gesture being detected, performing an operation corresponding to the user interface object;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that one or more eyes of the user were closed for more than a threshold amount of time in conjunction with the air gesture being detected, forgoing performing the operation corresponding to the user interface object.
