DISPLAYING GUI ELEMENTS ON NATURAL USER INTERFACES
First Claim
1. A computing system for displaying a GUI element on a natural user interface on a display, the computing system comprising:
- a display configured to display a natural user interface of a program executed on the computing system;
a gesture sensor configured to detect a gesture input directed at the natural user interface by a user; and
a processor configured to execute;
a gesture-recognizing module configured to recognize a registration phase, an operation phase, and a termination phase of the gesture input; and
a gesture assist module configured to display a GUI element overlaid upon the natural user interface, the GUI element being first displayed in response to recognition of the registration phase by the gesture-recognizing module, and including a visual or audio operation cue to prompt the user to carry out the operation phase of the gesture input, and a selector manipulatable by the user via the operation phase of the gesture.

Abstract
A computing system for displaying a GUI element on a natural user interface is described herein. The computing system includes a display configured to display a natural user interface of a program executed on the computing system, and a gesture sensor configured to detect a gesture input directed at the natural user interface by a user. The computing system also includes a processor configured to execute a gesture-recognizing module for recognizing a registration phase, an operation phase, and a termination phase of the gesture input, and a gesture assist module configured to first display a GUI element overlaid upon the natural user interface in response to recognition of the registration phase. The GUI element includes a visual or audio operation cue to prompt the user to carry out the operation phase of the gesture input, and a selector manipulatable by the user via the operation phase of the gesture.

11. A method for displaying a GUI element on a natural user interface on a display, the method comprising:
-
displaying, on a display, a natural user interface of a program executed on the computing system; recognizing, at a gesture-recognizing module executable by a processor, a registration phase of a gesture input directed at the natural user interface by a user; displaying a GUI element associated with the registration phase for a first time, by a gesture assist module executable by the processor, the displaying including overlaying the GUI element upon the natural user interface in response to the recognition of the registration phase, and the GUI element including a visual or audio operation cue to prompt the user to carry out the operation phase of the gesture input, and a selector manipulatable by the user via performance of the operation phase of the gesture; recognizing an operation phase of the gesture input at the gesture-recognizing module; and updating the natural user interface, responsive to recognition of the operation phase, to provide the user with feedback regarding an effect of the operation phase. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that are executable by a processor to:
-
display, on a display, a natural user interface of a program executed on the computing system; recognize, at a gesture-recognizing module, a registration phase of a gesture input directed at the natural user interface by a user; display a GUI element associated with the registration phase for a first time, by a gesture assist module, the displaying including overlaying the GUI element upon the natural user interface in response to the recognition of the registration phase, and the GUI element including a visual or audio operation cue to prompt the user to carry out the operation phase of the gesture input, and a selector manipulatable by the user via performance of the operation phase of the gesture; recognize an operation phase of the gesture input at the gesture-recognizing module; and update the natural user interface, responsive to recognition of the operation phase, to provide the user with feedback regarding an effect of the operation phase. - View Dependent Claims (20)
