TWO-STEP GESTURE RECOGNITION FOR FINE-GRAIN CONTROL OF WEARABLE APPLICATIONS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for fine-grain gesture-based control of a wearable device:
- generating signal data from at least one sensor, wherein the generated signal data exceeds a gesture recognition threshold;
comparing the generated signal data to stored signal data representing an initialization gesture; and
activating a fine-grain gesture recognition mode if the generated signal data matches the stored signal data, the fine-grain gesture recognition mode lowering the gesture recognition threshold; and
providing, concurrent with the activation of the fine-grain gesture recognition mode, visual or haptic feedback to the user indicating that the initialization gesture has been recognized.

Abstract
The present disclosure provides methods, devices, systems, and computer program products for providing fine-grain gesture-based control of wearable applications. Methods are provided for multi-step gesture-based control systems of wearable applications with an initial, easy to recognize gesture being used to place the device in a state that subtle gestures can be identified that can control navigation and interactivity on the device that rely on the user being able to view the device. Systems and methods are provided for utilizing data obtained from sensor(s) to determine a gesture to place a wearable device in a state of fine-grain gesture-based control.
