Abstract

Techniques for movement languages in wearable devices are described, including Receiving input from a sensor coupled to a wearable device, processing the input to determine a pattern, the pattern associated with a movement, referencing a pattern library stored in a database to compare the pattern to a set of patterns in the pattern library, and performing an operation based on a comparison of the pattern to the set of patterns.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

receiving input from a sensor coupled to a wearable device;

processing the input to determine a pattern, the pattern associated with a movement;

referencing a pattern library stored in a database to compare to a set of patterns in the pattern library; and

performing an operation based, on a comparison of the pattern to the set of patterns.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the referencing the pattern library comprises performing a lookup operation.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the performing the operation comprises generating a control signal configured to be sent to a media application configured to present media content.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the performing the operation comprises generating a control signal configured to be sent to a payment system.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the performing the operation comprises generating a control signal configured to be sent to another device using a wireless data connection.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the performing the operation comprises generating a control signal configured to be sent to another device using a TRRS-type connector.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the performing the operation comprises aggregating the pattern into a movement library associated with the movement.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the performing the operation comprises using the pattern to create a motion profile template.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the pattern is associated with an activity.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the pattern is associated with a physiological state.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the pattern is associated with a psychological state.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the pattern is associated with a biological state.

13. The method of claim 1, wherein the set of patterns is associated with a movement language.

14. A system, comprising:

a logic module configured to receive an input from a sensor coupled to a wearable device, to process the input to determine a pattern, the pattern associated with a movement, to reference a pattern library stored in a database to compare the pattern to a set of patterns in the pattern library, and to perform an operation based on a comparison of the pattern to the set of patterns; and

a memory configured to store the input and the pattern.

15. The system of claim 14, wherein the logic module resides on the wearable device.

16. The system of claim 14, wherein the logic module resides remotely on another device.

17. The system of claim 14, wherein the set of patterns further is stored in a movement library associated with the movement.

18. The system of claim 14, wherein the operation comprises generating a control signal configured to be sent to another device using a TRRS-type connector.

19. The system of claim 14, wherein the operation comprises generating a control signal configured to be sent to another device using a wireless data connection.

20. A computer program product embodied in a computer readable medium and comprising computer instructions for:

receiving input from a sensor coupled to a wearable device;

processing the input to determine a pattern, the pattern associated with a movement;

referencing a pattern library stored in a database to compare the pattern to a set of patterns in the pattern library; and

performing an operation based on a comparison of the pattern to the set of patterns.
