PRESENTING AUXILIARY CONTENT IN A GESTURE-BASED SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method in a computing system for presenting auxiliary content in a manner that provides contextual orientation to a user, the method comprising:
- receiving, from an input device capable of providing gesture input, an indication of a user inputted gesture that corresponds to an indicated portion of electronic content presented via a presentation device associated with the computing system;
determining by inference an indication of auxiliary content, based upon content contained within the indicated portion of the presented electronic content and a set of factors; and
presenting the indicated auxiliary content in conjunction with the corresponding presented electronic content as an auxiliary presentation that accompanies at least a portion of the corresponding presented electronic content, therein providing visual and/or auditory context for the auxiliary content.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and techniques for automatically providing auxiliary content are provided. Example embodiments provide a Gesture Based Content Presentation System (GBCPS), which enables a gesture-based user interface to present auxiliary content that is related to an portion of electronic input that has been indicated by a received gesture. In overview, the GBCPS allows a portion (e.g., an area, part, or the like) of electronically presented content to be dynamically indicated by a gesture. The GBCPS then examines the indicated portion in conjunction with a set of (e.g., one or more) factors to determine auxiliary content to present. Auxiliary content may be in many forms, including, for example, a web page, code, document, or the like. Once the auxiliary content is determined, it is then presented to the user, for example, using a separate panel, an overlay, or in any other fashion.
