1. A method comprising:
- generating data associated with a first sensor event, wherein a hand-held device comprises one or more sensors detecting the sensor event;
transmitting the data to a remote computing node for analysis;
determining whether additional sensor event data is required for the analysis;
in response to said determining, providing the additional sensor event data to the remote computing node;
receiving event results of the analysis from the remote computing node; and
storing the event results in an event data storage in association with an event type identifier.

Abstract
A mechanism is provided to customize response of devices to inputs received by a variety of sensors on those devices. Data samples of a desired input event are gathered and then those data samples are transmitted to a remote server computer for analysis. The analysis provided by the remote server computer results in a unique “signature” for the desired input event. This signature is then transmitted back to the device, which then stores the signature for use in subsequent input event analysis by the device. In this manner, the device can be customized to interpret a particular input provided by a particular user in order to elicit a specified response by the device.

7. A hand held apparatus comprising:
-
one or more sensor modules configured to detect a first sensor event and generate data associated with the first sensor event; a network interface coupled to a network; a memory; and processing circuitry, coupled to the one or more sensor modules, the network interface, and the memory, and configured to if the hand held apparatus is currently in a learning mode, provide the data associated with the first sensor event to the network interface for transmission to a remote computing node for analysis of sensor event characteristics, and if additional sensor event data is required for the analysis by the remote computing node, display a request for a user of the hand held apparatus to repeat an action associated with the sensor event, receive event results of the analysis from the remote computing node via the network interface, and store the event results in the memory in association with an event type identifier. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A non-transient computer-readable storage medium storing instructions executable by a processor of a hand-held computing device, the instructions configured to perform steps comprising:
-
transmitting data associated with a first sensor event to a remote computing node for analysis, wherein the hand-held computing device comprises one or more sensors detecting the sensor event; determining if additional sensor event data is required for the analysis; in response to said determining, repeating said transmitting and said determining; receiving event results of the analysis from the remote computing node; and storing the event results in an event data storage in association with an event type identifier. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
