Device interaction with spatially aware gestures
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- detecting a first user in an image;
detecting, by one or more processors, that the first user in the image has performed a gesture that involves the first user passing a mobile computing device to a second user, or about to pass the mobile computing device to the second user;
in response to detecting that the first user in the image has performed the gesture, identifying, by the one or more processors, (i) content on the mobile computing device, and (ii) a computing device associated with the second user; and
providing the computing device associated with the second user 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.

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
detecting a first user in an image; detecting, by one or more processors, that the first user in the image has performed a gesture that involves the first user passing a mobile computing device to a second user, or about to pass the mobile computing device to the second user; in response to detecting that the first user in the image has performed the gesture, identifying, by the one or more processors, (i) content on the mobile computing device, and (ii) a computing device associated with the second user; and providing the computing device associated with the second user with access to at least a portion of the content. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)

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:
-
detecting a first user in an image; detecting that the first user in the image has performed a gesture that involves the first user passing a mobile computing device to a second user, or about to pass the mobile computing device to the second user; in response to detecting that the first user in the image has performed the gesture, identifying (i) content on the mobile computing device, and (ii) a computing device associated with the second user; and providing the computing device associated with the second user 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; detecting a first user in an image; detecting that the first user in the image has performed a gesture that involves the first user passing a mobile computing device to a second user, or about to pass the mobile computing device to the second user; in response to detecting that the first user in the image has performed the gesture, identifying (i) content on the mobile computing device, and (ii) a computing device associated with the second user; and providing the computing device associated with the second user with access to at least a portion of the content. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
