First Claim
Patent Images
1. A portable electronic device, comprising:
- a motion component that outputs motion information as a function of at least one movement of the device;
a directional component that outputs direction information as a function of an orientation of the device; and
at least one processor configured to process at least the motion information and the direction information to track at least one gesture undergone by the device and configured to superimpose digital graffiti corresponding to the at least one gesture onto at least one digital canvas.

Abstract
The subject disclosure provides a device, computer readable storage medium, and method for converting gestures undergone by a device into digital graffiti. The disclosure includes ascertaining an orientation of the device and a path traversed by the device. Gestures undergone by the device are identified as a function of the orientation and the path. Digital graffiti corresponding to the gestures are then superimposed onto a digital canvas.
