User selection and navigation based on looped motions
First Claim
1. A method for performing user selection of an option, comprising:
- displaying an option and a sequence of a looped motion associated with the option by a user interface of a computing device, the computing device including one or more processors and memory;
receiving user motion data from a sensor connected to the computing device;
determining if the user is performing the looped motion based on the received user motion data;
if the user is performing the looped motion, determining if the user motion data matches one or more looped motion criteria by determining if energy produced through a movement of a body part in the user motion data matches energy of a corresponding moving point in the looped motion, wherein the energy produced through the movement of the body part is derived as a function of a mass of the body part and a speed of the movement of the body part;
determining the user'"'"'s progress of performing the sequence of the looped motion based on the user motion data matching the one or more looped motion criteria;
displaying the user'"'"'s progress of performing the sequence of the looped motion;
determining that the user has completed the sequence of looped motion based on the user'"'"'s progress of performing the sequence of the looped motion; and
automatically triggering a selection of the option displayed in response to determining that the user has completed the sequence of looped motion and performing a function associated with the selection of the option.

Abstract
A system for performing user selection of an option is provided. A user interface displays one or more options. Each option is associated with a sequence of a looped motion. In response, a user will perform one of the displayed sequences of looped motion. User motion data is received from one or more sensors connected to the computing device. The user'"'"'s progress of performing the sequence of the looped motion is determined based on the user motion data matching one or more looped motion criteria associated with the performed looped motion. The user'"'"'s progress of performing the sequence of the looped motion is displayed to the user. A selection of the option associated with the performed looped motion is automatically triggered in response to determining that the user has completed the sequence of looped motion.

10. One or more processor readable memory storage devices having processor readable code embodied on said one or more processor readable memory storage devices, the processor readable code for programming one or more processors to perform a method comprising:
-
presenting a user with multiple skill-based options via a user interface in a computing device, each skill-based option is associated with a different sequence of a looped motion; displaying the different sequences of the looped motion, the different sequences of the looped motion each having different skill levels to performing the associated sequence of the looped motion; receiving user motion data from a sensor connected to the computing device; determining if the user is performing one of the looped motions depicted by the multiple skill-based options, based on the received user motion data; if the user is performing one of the looped motions, determining if the user motion data matches one or more looped motion criteria for the performed loop motion by determining if energy produced through a movement of a body part in the user motion data matches energy of a corresponding moving point in the looped motion, wherein the energy produced through the movement of the body part is derived as a function of a mass of the body part and a speed of the movement of the body part; determining user'"'"'s progress of performing the sequence of the looped motion based on the user motion data matching the one or more looped motion criteria; displaying the user'"'"'s progress performing the sequence of the looped motion; determining that the user has completed the sequence of looped motion based on the user'"'"'s progress of performing the sequence of the looped motion; and automatically triggering a selection of one of the multiple skill-based options in response to determining that the user has completed the sequence of the looped motion. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. An apparatus to perform user selection of an option, comprising:
-
a depth camera for capturing user motion data of a user in a field of view of the depth camera; a computing device, including one or more processors and memory, communicatively coupled to the depth camera for receiving the user motion data of the user; a display device communicatively coupled to and under the control of the computing device; the computing device causing the display device to display an option and a sequence of a looped motion associated with the option; the computing device determining if the user is performing the looped motion based on the received user motion data; if the user is performing the looped motion, the computing device determining if the user motion data matches one or more looped motion criteria by the computing device determining if energy produced through a movement of a body part in the user motion data matches energy of a corresponding moving point in the looped motion, wherein the energy produced through the movement of the body part is derived as a function of a mass of the body part and a speed of the movement of the body part; the computing device determining the user'"'"'s progress of performing the sequence of the looped motion based on the user motion data matching the one or more looped motion criteria; the computing device causing the display to display the user'"'"'s progress of performing the sequence of the looped motion; the computing device determining that the user has completed the sequence of looped motion based on the user'"'"'s progress of performing the sequence of the looped motion; the computing device automatically triggering a selection of the option displayed in response to determining that the user has completed the sequence of looped motion; and the computing device performing a function associated with the selection of the option. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
