First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a first sensor configured to generate a first output;
a camera configured to generate a second output;
a processor; and
a gesture detection module executable by the processor to detect a gesture based on at least one of the first output and the second output,wherein at least a portion of the camera is selectively deactivated based on a lighting level and a gesture range.

Abstract
A method includes receiving a first output from a first sensor of an electronic device and receiving a second output from a second sensor of the electronic device. The first sensor has a first sensor type and the second sensor has a second sensor type that is different from the first sensor type. The method also includes detecting a gesture based on the first output and the second output according to a complementary voting scheme that is at least partially based on gesture complexity.
