GESTURE DISAMBIGUATION USING ORIENTATION INFORMATION
First Claim
1. A method for controlling a computing device based on motion of a human subject, the method comprising:
- receiving orientation information of the human subject including information regarding an orientation of a first body part and an orientation of a second body part;
identifying a gesture performed by the first body part based on the orientation information;
identifying an orientation of the second body part based on the orientation information;
determining a mapping of the gesture to an action performed by the computing device based on the orientation of the second body part.

Abstract
Embodiments are disclosed that relate to controlling a computing device based upon gesture input. In one embodiment, orientation information of the human subject is received, wherein the orientation information includes information regarding an orientation of a first body part and an orientation of a second body part. A gesture performed by the first body part is identified based on the orientation information, and an orientation of the second body part is identified based on the orientation information. A mapping of the gesture to an action performed by the computing device is determined based on the orientation of the second body part.

9. A computing device comprising:
-
a logic machine; a storage machine holding instructions that when executed by the logic machine; receive orientation information of a first human subject including information regarding a first body part and a second body part; identify a gesture performed by the first body part of the human subject based on the orientation information; if the second body part is in a first orientation, determine a mapping of the gesture to a first action performed by the computing device based on the orientation of the second body part; and if the second body part is in a second orientation, ignore the gesture as a false positive. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method for controlling a computing device based on motion of a first human subject, the method comprising:
-
receiving orientation information for a first human subject including information regarding an orientation of a first body part and an orientation of a second body part; identifying a gesture performed by the first body part based on the orientation information, the gesture being of a gesture type having a plurality of gesture instances mapped to different actions; identifying an orientation of the second body part based on the orientation information; determining a gesture instance of the gesture type performed by the first body part based on the orientation of the second body part; and performing an action mapped to the gesture instance that controls operation of the computing device. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
