  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18114629 Titled 'Gesture Tutorial for a Finger-Wearable Device'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a method performed on an electronic device with processors, memory, a display, and a communication interface to interact with a finger-wearable device. The method involves displaying instructional content related to a specific gesture and object, and determining the user's engagement level with that object. The method also involves obtaining finger manipulation data from the finger-wearable device and determining if the gesture associated with the object is performed. If the engagement level meets a certain criterion, an indication is displayed to show that the gesture is directed towards the object.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method is performed at an electronic device with one or more processors, a non-transitory memory, a display, and a communication interface provided to communicate with a finger-wearable device. The method includes displaying first instructional content that is associated with a first gesture. The first instructional content includes a first object. The method includes determining an engagement score that characterizes a level of user engagement with respect to the first object. The method includes obtaining finger manipulation data from the finger-wearable device via the communication interface. The method includes determining that the finger-wearable device performs the first gesture based on a function of the finger manipulation data. The method includes, in response to determining that the finger-wearable device performs the first gesture, in accordance with a determination that the engagement score satisfies an engagement criterion, displaying an indication indicating that the first gesture is directed to the first object.
