Switching between a first operational mode and a second operational mode using a natural motion gesture
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a processor and from an orientation sensor, a first set of orientation data representative of a mobile computing device being in a first orientation;
receiving, by the processor and from the orientation sensor, a second set of orientation data representative of the mobile computing device being in a second orientation;
changing, by the processor, an operational mode of the mobile computing device from a first operational mode to a second operational mode, the changing responsive to;
determining that the first set of orientation data approximates a first set of baseline data representative of a first state of the mobile computing device, the first state of the mobile computing device comprising an input receiving mode operative to receive voice input from a user, anddetermining that the second set of orientation data approximates a second set of baseline data representative of a second state of the mobile computing device, the second state of the mobile computing device comprising a visual display mode operative to display a selected portion of a real-world environment overlaid by a computer-generated graphic element;
receiving, by the processor and while the mobile computing device is in the first operational mode, an indication of voice input;
outputting, by the processor and for display while the mobile computing device is in the second operational mode, a selected portion of a real-world environment physically located around the mobile computing device and a computer-generated graphic element overlaid on the displayed portion of the real-world environment, the computer-generated graphic comprising a visual indication of a search result, wherein the search result is determined responsive to a query based on the indication of the voice input.

Abstract
A mobile device is operative to change from a first operational mode to a second or third operational mode based on a user'"'"'s natural motion gesture. The first operational mode may include a voice input mode in which a user provides a voice input to the mobile device. After providing the voice input to the mobile device, the user then makes a natural motion gesture and a determination is made as to whether the natural motion gesture places the mobile device in the second or third operational mode. The second operational mode includes an augmented reality display mode in which the mobile device displays images recorded from a camera overlaid with computer-generated images corresponding to results output in response to the voice input. The third operational mode includes a reading display mode in which the mobile device displays, without augmented reality, results output in response to the voice input.
