1. A method, comprising:
- receiving a first input signal from a first sensor configured to detect only a single gesture;
receiving a second input signal from the first sensor after receiving the first input signal;
classifying the first input signal and the second input signal as intentional signals;
determining timing information indicative of a time difference between receiving the first input signal and receiving the second input signal;
determining whether the first input signal and the second input signal are relevant to a single command or multiple commands based on the timing information;
selecting a device from a plurality of devices to provide one or more output signals to based on a count of input signals received during a first gesture time window initiated in response to receiving the first input signal, wherein each device of the plurality of devices is associated with a respective number and a number of the device matches the count of the input signals; and
providing, to the device, the one or more output signals based on determining whether the first input signal and the second input signal are relevant to the single command or the multiple commands.

5. A method for communication, comprising:
-
receiving a plurality of candidate inputs from a first sensor configured to detect only a single gesture; classifying the plurality of candidate inputs as one or more intentional inputs; counting a number of the one or more intentional inputs; selecting a target device of a plurality of devices based on the number of the one or more intentional inputs, wherein each device of the plurality of devices is associated with a respective number and a number of the target device matches the number of the one or more intentional inputs; and providing a signal to the selected target device in response to the classified one or more intentional inputs. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A method, comprising:
-
receiving a first plurality of candidate inputs from a sensor configured to detect only a single gesture; classifying the first plurality of candidate inputs as one or more first intentional inputs; counting a number of the one or more first intentional inputs; selecting a target device of a plurality of devices based on the number of the one or more first intentional inputs, wherein each device of the plurality of devices is associated with a respective number and a number of the tar et device matches the number of the one or more first intentional inputs; receiving a second plurality of candidate inputs; classifying the second plurality of candidate inputs as one or more second intentional inputs; determining a command for controlling the target device based on the one or more second intentional inputs; and providing a signal indicative of the command to the target device in response to the one or more second intentional inputs. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)

17. A method, comprising:
-
receiving a first plurality of candidate inputs from a first sensor configured to detect only a single gesture; determining a type of the first sensor; determining a first timing threshold based on the type of the first sensor; classifying one or more of the first plurality of candidate inputs as intentional inputs based on the first timing threshold; and providing an output signal to a device of a plurality of devices based on the one or more of the first plurality of candidate inputs classified as intentional inputs, wherein each device of the plurality of devices is associated with a respective number and a number of the device matches a number of the first plurality of candidate inputs classified as intentional inputs. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
