First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computing device, comprising:
- a touch-sensitive input device configured to receive gesture input;
a memory configured to store a gesture pattern associated with a particular remote device, the particular remote device in wireless communication with the computing device;
a communication interface to wirelessly communicate between the computing device and the particular remote device; and
a processor operably coupled to the touch-sensitive input device, the memory, and the communication interface, the processor configured to;
determine, based on a gesture input and the gesture pattern, a selection of the particular remote device; and
output, to the communication interface, a wake-up signal configured to cause the particular remote device to transition to an active state.

Abstract
A computing device includes a touch-sensitive area that is arranged and configured to receive one or more gestures, and a memory that is arranged and configured to store one or more device gestures, where the stored device gestures correspond to a selection of one or more remote devices and a processor that is operably coupled to the touch sensitive area and the memory. The processor is arranged and configured to compare the gestures received in the touch sensitive area to the stored device gestures, determine a selected remote device based on the comparison, and initiate contact with the selected remote device.
