Abstract
An embodiment provides a method, including: receiving at a sensor of an information handling device image input; determining, using one or more processors, a predetermined gesture within the image input; capturing additional gesture input associated with the predetermined gesture; and processing an image rendered on a display device according to the additional gesture input associated with the predetermined gesture. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Claims18
A method, comprising:
- displaying an image on a display device of an information handling device;
- receiving, at a back facing sensor of the display device, image input;
- determining, using one or more processors, a predetermined gesture within the image input, wherein the predetermined gesture within the image input comprises one or more patterns including a corner, and wherein the corner of the one or more patterns is associated with a corresponding corner of the image displayed on the display device;
- activating, based on the predetermined gesture, an image processing mode for processing the image displayed on the display device;
- capturing, using the back facing sensor and after the activating, additional gesture input associated with the predetermined gesture;
- and
- processing the image displayed on the display device according to the additional gesture input.

An information handling device, comprising:
- a display device including a back facing sensor;
- one or more processors;
- a memory device storing instructions accessible to the one or more processors, the instructions being executable by the one or more processors to:
- display, on the display device, an image;
- receive, at the front facing sensor, image input;
- determine, using the one or more processors, a predetermined gesture within the image input wherein the predetermined gesture within the image input comprises one or more patterns including a corner, and wherein the corner of the one or more patterns is associated with a corresponding corner of the image displayed on the display device;
- activate, based on the predetermined gesture, an image processing mode for processing the image displayed on the display device;
- capture, using the back facing sensor and after activating the image processing mode, additional gesture input associated with the predetermined gesture;
- and
- process the image displayed on the display device according to the additional gesture input.
