Device interaction with spatially aware gestures
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- obtaining multiple images;
determining that the multiple images include (i) a first image that shows a user performing a gesture that involves the user touching a first display of a first computing device, and (ii) a second image that shows the user performing a gesture that involves the user touching a second display of a second computing device;
in response to determining that the multiple images include (i) the first image that shows a user performing a gesture that involves the user touching the first display of the first computing device, and (ii) the second image that shows the user performing a gesture that involves the user touching the second display of the second computing device, identifying content that is displayed on the first display of the first computing device; and
providing the second computing device with access to at least a portion of the content.

Abstract
Described is a system and technique for providing the ability for a user to interact with one or more devices by performing gestures that mimic real-world physical analogies. More specifically, the techniques described herein provide the ability for a user to interact with a device by limiting the conscious gesturing for a computer component by camouflaging computer-recognizable gestures within manipulations of a physical objects.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable storage device having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
-
obtaining multiple images; determining that the multiple images include (i) a first image that shows a user performing a gesture that involves the user touching a first display of a first computing device, and (ii) a second image that shows the user performing a gesture that involves the user touching a second display of a second computing device; in response to determining that the multiple images include (i) the first image that shows a user performing a gesture that involves the user touching the first display of the first computing device, and (ii) the second image that shows the user performing a gesture that involves the user touching the second display of the second computing device, identifying content that is displayed on the first display of the first computing device; and providing the second computing device with access to at least a portion of the content. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A system comprising:
-
one or more data processing apparatus; and a non-transitory computer-readable storage device having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by the one or more data processing apparatus, cause the one or more data processing apparatus to perform operations comprising; obtaining multiple images; determining that the multiple images include (i) a first image that shows a user performing a gesture that involves the user touching a first display of a first computing device, and (ii) a second image that shows the user performing a gesture that involves the user touching a second display of a second computing device; in response to determining that the multiple images include (i) the first image that shows a user performing a gesture that involves the user touching the first display of the first computing device, and (ii) the second image that shows the user performing a gesture that involves the user touching the second display of the second computing device, identifying content that is displayed on the first display of the first computing device; and providing the second computing device with access to at least a portion of the content. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
