Gesture Input Using an Optical Input Device
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- detecting first information, indicating that a first action is to be performed, from an optical user input device, the first information being provided by the optical user input device in response to gesture input from a user;
detecting further information from an input device; and
using the further information to disambiguate, subsequent to detection of the first information, second information provided by the optical user input device to determine whether the second information indicates termination of the gesture input or continuation of the gesture input.

Abstract
A method, an apparatus and a computer program, the method including detecting first information, indicating that a first action is to be performed, from an optical user input device, the first information being provided by the optical user input device in response to gesture input from a user; detecting further information from an input device; and using the further information to disambiguate, subsequent to detection of the first information, second information provided by the optical user input device to determine whether the second information indicates termination of the gesture input or continuation of the gesture input.

16. An apparatus, comprising:
-
processing circuitry; and at processing circuitry; and at least one memory storing a computer program comprising instructions that are configured to, with the processing circuitry, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following; detecting first information, indicating that a first action is to be performed, from an optical user input device, the first information being provided by the optical user input device in response to gesture input from a user, detecting further information from an input device; and using the further information to disambiguate, subsequent to detection of the first information, the second information provided by the optical user input device to determine whether the second information is indicative of termination of the gesture input or continuation of the gesture input. - View Dependent Claims (17, 20, 22, 24, 25, 26, 34)

27. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a computer program comprising instructions configured to working with processing circuitry, cause at least the following to be performed:
-
detecting first information, indicating that a first action is to be performed, from an optical user input device, the first information being provided by the optical user input device in response to gesture input from a user; detecting further information from an input device; and using the further information to disambiguate, subsequent to detection of the first information, second information provided by the optical user input device to determine whether the second information indicates termination of the gesture input or continuation of the gesture input. - View Dependent Claims (28, 31)
