Abstract

Systems and methods for translating natural motion into a command are provided herein. The system includes a natural motion receiver configured to receive an indication of natural motion; a digital information retriever configured to retrieve digital information associated with the natural motion; and a digital information communicator configured to communicate the retrieved digital information to an electronic system. The natural motion is defined by a motion associated with an interaction independent of the electronic system. Also included is a method for integrating a natural motion detector with an electrical system. Also included is a description wearable technology device associated with the concepts discussed herein.

Claims

1. A system for translating natural motion into digitally rendered information, comprising:

a data store comprising a computer readable medium storing a program of instructions for the translating of natural motion;

a processor that executes the program of instructions;

a natural motion receiver configured to receive an indication of natural motion;

a digital information retriever configured to retrieve digital information associated with the natural motion; and

a digital information communicator configured to communicate the retrieved digital information to an electronic system,

wherein the natural motion is defined by a motion associated with an interaction independent of the electronic system.

2. The system according to claim 1, wherein the natural motion is a turning of a wrist associated with a user of the electronic system.

3. The system according to claim 2, wherein in response to the turning of the wrist, a digital display coupled to the electronic system renders the time.

4. The system according to claim 1, wherein the natural motion is detected from a wearable device.

5. The system according to claim 2, wherein the natural motion is detected from a wearable device.

6. The system according to claim 1, wherein the natural motion is detected by an image capturing device.

7. The system according to claim 2, wherein the natural motion is detected by an image capturing device.

8. The system according to claim 2, wherein in response to the turning of the wrist, the digital information retriever is configured to receive data displayed on the wearable device, and replicate the received data onto a digital display.

9. The system according to claim 2, wherein in response to the turning of the wrist, the system is configured to establish a handshake connection between a display associated with the wearable device and a display coupled to the electronic system.

18. The system according to claim 1, wherein the natural motion is defined by detecting a motion associated with an index finger.

19. The system according to claim 1, wherein the natural motion is defined by detecting a thumb up/down gesture.

20. The system according to claim 1, wherein the natural motion is defined by detecting a placement of a flat palm on a forehead.

10. A wearable technology device coupled to an electronic system, comprising:

a motion detector configured to detect a natural motion; and

a wireless communication circuit configured to wirelessly couple to the electronic system,

wherein in response to detecting the natural motion, the electronic system translates the detected natural motion into a command.

11. The device according to claim 10, wherein the wearable technology device is wrist-wearable.

12. The device according to claim 11, wherein the natural motion is associated with turning a wrist.

13. The device according to claim 12, wherein the command is indicating a time on a display coupled to the electronic system.

15. The method according to claim 12, wherein the natural motion detection is accomplished by a wearable technology device.

14. A method for integrating natural motion detection and an electronic system, comprising:

coupling a natural motion detector with the electronic system;

assigning at least one natural motion detectable via the natural motion detector to a command for controlling the electronic system; and

programming the electronic system to render an output based on the detected natural motion.

16. The method according to claim 14, wherein the natural motion detector is a camera configured to detect motion.

17. The method according to claim 14, wherein the rendered output is information displayed on a display coupled to the electronic system.
