Abstract
Examples are disclosed for interpreting a natural user interface (UI) input event. In some examples, sensor information may be received during a command for an application. The command input may be interpreted as a natural UI input event. For some examples, context information related to the command input may cause a context to be associated with the natural UI input event. The context may then cause a change to how media content may be retrieved for the application. Other examples are described and claimed.

26. An apparatus comprising:
-
a processor component for a device; an input module for execution by the processor component to receive sensor information that indicates an input command and interprets the input command as a natural user interface (UI) input event; a context association module for execution by the processor component to associate the natural UI input event with a context based on context information related to the input command; a media mode selection module for execution by the processor component to determine whether the context causes a switch from a first media retrieval mode to a second media retrieval mode; and a media retrieval module for execution by the processor component to retrieve media content for an application responsive to the natural UI input event based on the first or the second media retrieval mode. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37)

38. A method comprising:
-
detecting, at a device, a first input command; interpreting the first input command as a first natural user interface (UI) input event; associating the first natural UI input event with a context based on context information related to the input command; and determining whether to process the first natural UI input event based on the context. - View Dependent Claims (39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45)

46. At least one machine readable medium comprising a plurality of instructions that in response to being executed on a system at a device cause the system to:
-
detect a first input command; interpret the first input command as a first natural user interface (UI) input event; associate the first natural UI input event with a context based on context information related to the input command; determine whether to process the first natural UI input event based on the context; process the first natural UI input event by determining whether the context causes a switch from a first media retrieval mode to a second media retrieval mode; and retrieve media content for an application based on the first or the second media retrieval mode. - View Dependent Claims (47, 48, 49, 50)
