1. A method of improving a user experience with natural user interface systems, comprising:
- a) acquiring user-specific trait data representing a user-specific trait of a user from a sensor of a natural user interface associated with a first computing environment, acquiring the user-specific trait data comprising the step of acquiring and storing, over time, user-specific data relating to an atypical manner in which the user performs a predefined gesture to refine a stored gestural rule defining how the predefined gesture is performed;
b) storing the trait data acquired in said step a) in a location accessible to a second computing environment distinct from the first computing environment;
c) providing the trait data stored in said step b) to the second computing environment;
d) receiving a first version of the personal trait data stored on the second computing environment by the third computing environment, the third computing environment having access to the personal trait data independently of the second computing environment;
e) comparing, by the third computing environment, the first version of the personal trait data received from the second computing environment with a second version of the personal trait data received independently of the second computing environment to validate the second computing environment; and
f) using the stored trait data in the second computing environment to decrease misinterpretation of the user performing the gesture user'"'"'s gestures performed in interacting with the second computing environment.

Abstract
A system and method is disclosed for sensing, storing and using personal trait profile data. Once sensed and stored, this personal trait profile data may be used for a variety of purposes. In one example, a user'"'"'s personal trait profile data may be accessed and downloaded to different computing systems with which a user may interact so that the different systems may be instantly tuned to the user'"'"'s personal traits and manner of interaction. In a further example, a user'"'"'s personal trait profile data may also be used for authentication purposes.

8. A method of improving a user experience with natural user interface systems, comprising:
-
a) acquiring data representing a trait of a user from a sensor of a natural user interface associated with a first computing environment, acquiring the trait data comprising the step of acquiring and storing, over time, user-specific data relating to an atypical manner in which the user performs a predefined gesture to refine a stored gestural rule defining user movements and/or positions that comprise the predefined gesture; b) storing the trait data acquired in said step a) in a second, mobile computing environment distinct from the first computing environment; c) pairing the second, mobile computing environment with a third computing environment distinct from the second, mobile computing environment when the second and third computing environments are proximate to each other, the second, mobile computing environment transmitting the trait data stored on the second, mobile computing environment to the third computing environment upon said pairing; and d) comparing the trait data received from the second, mobile computing environment in said step c) against trait data for the user stored in the third computing environment; and e) allowing or disallowing the user access to resources on the third computing environment depending on results of the comparison performed in said step d). - View Dependent Claims (9, 10)
