Sensor mapping
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving input from a user, wherein the received input includes at least one of motion, force and contact;
generating a sensor signal based on the received input;
identifying from a choice of data structures a data structure associated with a selected application having one or more functions, wherein the identified data structure indicates a relationship between the generated sensor signal and the one or more functions of the selected application; and
selectively mapping the generated sensor signal to a control signal for controlling the one or more functions of the selected application based on the identified data structure.

Abstract
Techniques, systems and computer program products are disclosed for providing sensor mapping. In one aspect, a method includes receiving input from a user. The received input includes at least one of motion, force and contact. In addition, a sensor signal is generated based on the received input. From a choice of data structures a data structure associated with a selected application having one or more functions is identified. The data structure indicates a relationship between the generated sensor signal and the one or more functions of the selected application. The generated sensor signal is selectively mapped into a control signal for controlling the one or more functions of the selected application by using the identified data structure.

9. A system comprising:
-
a sensor component configured to receive input from a user, wherein the received input includes at least one of motion, force and contact, and generate a sensor signal based on the received input; and a sensor mapping component to communicate with the sensor component, wherein the sensor mapping component is configured to; receive a data structure selected from a choice of data structures that indicates a relationship between the generated sensor signal and one or more functions of a selected application, and selectively convert the generated sensor signal into a control signal configured to control the one or more functions of the selected application using the received data structure. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
