First Claim
1. An article comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing instructions that when executed by a processor enable a system to:
- receive video data corresponding to motion of a first computing device, the video data captured by one or more camera devices of a second computing device;
receive sensor data corresponding to motion of the first computing device, the sensor data captured by one or more sensors of the first computing device;
compare the video data and the sensor data to one or more gesture models;
determine whether the motion captured by the one or more camera devices and the motion captured by the one or more sensors correspond to a same gesture based on the comparison of the video data and the sensor data to one or more gesture models;
compare time stamps of the video data and the sensor data;
determine whether the motion captured by the one or more camera devices and the motion captured by the one or more sensors occurred at substantially a same time; and
determine whether to initiate establishment of a secure wireless connection between the first computing device and the second computing device based at least on a determination that the motion captured by the one or more camera devices and the motion captured by the one or more sensors correspond to a same gesture and a determination that the motion captured by the one or more camera devices and the motion captured by the one or more sensors occurred at substantially a same time.

Abstract
Techniques for gesture-based device connections are described. For example, a method may comprise receiving video data corresponding to motion of a first computing device, receiving sensor data corresponding to motion of the first computing device, comparing, by a processor, the video data and the sensor data to one or more gesture models, and initiating establishment of a wireless connection between the first computing device and a second computing device if the video data and sensor data correspond to gesture models for the same gesture. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
