Touch sensitive display apparatus using sensor input
First Claim
1. A method comprising the following computer-executable acts:
- receiving gesture data from an electromyography sensor unit that is in contact with skin of a gloveless user, wherein the electromyography sensor unit is embodied as one of a wristband, a band for placement on a forearm, a device for coupling to a human shoulder, or a necklace, wherein the gesture data is indicative of a gesture performed by the gloveless user, the gesture comprising movement of a first finger on a first hand of the gloveless user relative to a second finger on the first hand, and wherein the gesture data comprises data that identifies the first finger, data that identifies the second finger, and data that identifies the first hand;
determining location of the gesture with respect to a touch-sensitive display apparatus; and
performing a computing process at the touch-sensitive display apparatus based at least in part upon the received gesture data and the determined location of the gesture with respect to the touch-sensitive display apparatus, wherein the computing process is performed based at least in part upon the data that identifies the first finger, the data that identifies the second finger, and the data that identifies the first hand.

Abstract
Described herein is a system that includes a receiver component that receives gesture data from a sensor unit that is coupled to a body of a gloveless user, wherein the gesture data is indicative of a bodily gesture of the user, wherein the bodily gesture comprises movement pertaining to at least one limb of the gloveless user. The system further includes a location determiner component that determines location of the bodily gesture with respect to a touch-sensitive display apparatus. The system also includes a display component that causes the touch-sensitive display apparatus to display an image based at least in part upon the received gesture data and the determined location of the bodily gesture with respect to the touch-sensitive display apparatus.

12. A system that comprises the following computer-executable components:
-
a receiver component that receives gesture data from an electromyography sensor unit that is in contact with skin of a gloveless user, wherein the electromyography sensor unit is in a form of one of a wristband or a forearm band, wherein the gesture data is indicative of a bodily gesture of the gloveless user, wherein the bodily gesture comprises positioning of a first finger and a second finger relative to one another, and wherein the gesture data comprises data that identifies the first finger and data that identifies the second finger; a location determiner component that determines location of the bodily gesture with respect to a touch-sensitive display apparatus; and a display component that causes the touch-sensitive display apparatus to display an image based at least in part upon the received gesture data and the determined location of the bodily gesture with respect to the touch-sensitive display apparatus, wherein the display component disambiguates between the first finger and second finger based at least in part upon the data that identifies the first finger and the data that identifies the second finger and causes the touch-sensitive display apparatus to display the image based at least in part upon disambiguating between the first finger and the second finger. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A computer readable data storage device comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform acts comprising:
-
receiving gesture data from an electromyography sensor unit that is in contact with skin of a gloveless user, wherein the electromyography sensor unit is in a form of one of a wristband or a forearm band, wherein the gesture data is indicative of a gesture of the gloveless user, the gesture being positioning of a first digit of the gloveless user relative to a second digit of the gloveless user, and wherein the gesture data comprises data that identifies the first digit and data that identifies the second digit; determining a location of the gesture with respect to a touch-sensitive display apparatus; and graphically displaying image data to the gloveless user based at least in part upon the received gesture data and the determined location of the gesture with respect to the touch-sensitive display apparatus such that graphically displaying the image data to the gloveless user is based at least in part upon the data that identifies the first digit and the data that identifies the second digit.
