1. A method comprising:
- generating data relating to movement of a mobile device by tracking movement of a feature across a field of view of a 2D optical sensor;
inferring movement of the mobile device based in part on the generated data;
obtaining data either from an environment of the mobile device, or relating to an object; and
providing the generated data and the obtained data to a computing device, wherein the computing device performs an action in accordance with the movement and the obtained data.

Abstract
A user gestures with a wireless mobile phone device to control some aspect of its operation, or the operation of a remote system with which the device communicates. (The gestures may be sensed by tracking movement of a feature across a field of view of a mobile phone device camera.) The resultant operation may additionally depend on other data obtained by the wireless device, e.g., obtained from an electronic or physical object, or sensed from the environment. A variety of other features and arrangements are also detailed.
