Gesture-Based Device
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for authorizing a transaction, the method comprising:
- tracking, by a mobile user device, movements of the mobile user device;
determining, by the mobile user device, whether the tracked movements include an authorization gesture; and
responsive to determining that the tracked movements include the authorization gesture, transmitting, by the mobile user device, information to a mobile hub device, the mobile hub device awaiting authorization of an operation on the mobile hub device wherein;
the operation on the mobile hub device involves a data entry field being presented to the user on the mobile hub device; and
the information transmitted by the mobile user device to the mobile hub device includes personal information of the user to be automatically entered into the data entry field by the mobile hub device.

Abstract
The use of gestures on a user device to interact with and obtain functionality from remote communication hub devices is disclosed. A user device includes an accelerometer or other motion detection device and a wireless communications capability. The device is small enough to be placed conveniently about the person and communicates with a communication hub device to perform context-dependent actions. A user makes a gestural command to the device. The device interprets the gesture and undertakes activity. The gestural sensing device may be a motion switch, a multi-axis accelerometer, a video camera, a variable capacitance device, a magnetic field sensor, an electrical field sensor etc. When combined with business logic running on a remote computer system, the device can be used to implement a range of applications and services.

18. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions which when executed by one or more processor cause the one or more processors to perform steps comprising:
-
tracking, by a mobile user device, movements of the mobile user device; determining, by the mobile user device, whether the tracked movements include an authorization gesture; and responsive to determining that the tracked movements include the authorization gesture, transmitting, by the mobile user device, information to a mobile hub device, the mobile hub device awaiting authorization of an operation initiated by the user on the mobile hub device, wherein the operation initiated by the user on the mobile hub device involves a data entry field being presented to the user on the mobile hub device; the information transmitted by the mobile user device to the mobile hub device includes personal information of the user; and the data entry field is automatically filled using the personal information of the user.

19. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
determining, by a mobile user device, whether tracked movements of the mobile user device include a first predefined gesture; responsive to determining that tracked movements of the mobile user device include the first predefined gesture, transmitting, by the mobile user device, personal information to a mobile hub device, the personal information to be automatically entered by the mobile hub device into a data entry field presented on the mobile hub device as part of an operation initiated by the user on the mobile hub device; determining, by the mobile user device, whether tracked movements of the mobile user device include a second predefined gesture; responsive to determining that tracked movements of the mobile user device include the second predefined gesture, transmitting, by the mobile user device, an authorization to the mobile hub device, the authorization causing the operation on the mobile hub device to be completed. - View Dependent Claims (20)
