INPUT METHODS PERFORMED AT WEARABLE DEVICES, AND SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240338171 titled 'INPUT METHODS PERFORMED AT WEARABLE DEVICES, AND SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes systems and methods for controlling electronic devices using a wrist-wearable device that detects in-air gestures performed by the user.
- The wrist-wearable device worn by the user detects in-air gestures and communicates with electronic devices.
- When an in-air gesture is recognized as a control command, the wrist-wearable device determines the electronic device to execute the command and provides instructions for it.
- The user receives feedback through the wrist-wearable device and/or the electronic devices confirming the execution of the control command.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Detection of in-air gestures by a wrist-wearable device.
- Communication between the wrist-wearable device and electronic devices.
- Selection of the electronic device to perform the control command.
- Providing instructions for the selected electronic device.
- Feedback to the user regarding the execution of the control command.
Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in smart home systems, wearable technology, virtual reality, and augmented reality devices.
Problems Solved: This technology solves the problem of providing a hands-free and intuitive way to control electronic devices through in-air gestures.
Benefits:
- Enhanced user experience with hands-free control.
- Improved accessibility for individuals with mobility impairments.
- Efficient control of multiple electronic devices using a single wearable device.
Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized in smart home automation, gaming consoles, healthcare devices, and industrial applications to enhance user interaction and control.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the wrist-wearable device differentiate between different in-air gestures? 2. What are the potential security implications of using in-air gestures to control electronic devices?
Original Abstract Submitted
systems and method for controlling an electronic device using a worn wrist-wearable device are disclosed. a method includes detecting, by a wrist-wearable device worn by a user, an in-air gesture performed by the user. the wrist-wearable device is communicatively coupled with one or more electronic devices. the method includes, in response to a determination that the in-air gesture is associated with a control command (i) determining an electronic device of the one or more electronic devices to perform the control command, and (ii) providing instructions to the electronic device selected to perform the control command. the instructions cause the electronic device to perform the control command. the method further includes providing an indication via the wrist-wearable device and/or the one or more electronic devices that the control command was performed.
