1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- presenting a user interface that includes one or more interface components associated with defining a mapping between a gesture and an action;
storing, in a non-transitory storage medium, one or more user-defined mappings between gestures and actions, wherein each particular mapped action within the mappings is associated with one or more devices;
receiving an indication that a first device detected a particular gesture; and
determining, based on the one or more user-defined mappings, one or more actions that are mapped to the particular gesture detected by the first device;
wherein the method is performed by one or more special-purpose computing devices.

Abstract
Users are enabled to define and modify mappings between (1) gestures and (2) actions performed by one or more computing devices in response to a device detecting performance of a gesture. A generalized gesture-to-action mapping framework allows users to intuitively define and modify such mappings. In response to a device detecting the performance of a particular gesture, one or more devices may cause the execution of one or more device actions based on a set of user-defined gesture-to-action mappings.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more sequences of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors causes the one or more processors to perform steps comprising:
-
storing, in a non-transitory storage medium, one or more user-defined mappings between gestures and actions, wherein each particular mapped action within the mappings is associated with one or more devices; receiving an indication that a first device detected a particular gesture; and determining, based on the one or more user-defined mappings, one or more actions that are mapped to the particular gesture detected by the first device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
