First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- detecting an application change within a multi-application operating system;
updating an application hierarchy model for gesture-to-action responses with the detected application change;
detecting a gesture;
according to the hierarchy model, mapping the detected gesture to an action of an application; and
triggering the mapped action of the application.

17. A method comprising:
-
detecting an application change within a multi-application operating framework; updating an application hierarchy model for gesture-to-action responses with the detected application change; detecting a gesture from a set of presence-based gestures; mapping the detected gesture to a gesture-to-action response in the hierarchy model, wherein if a gesture-to-action response is not identified within an initial application in the hierarchy model, progressively checking gesture-to-action responses of an application in a lower hierarchy of the hierarchy model; if the detected gesture is a first gesture, detecting translation of the first gesture; if the detected gesture is a second gesture, detecting rotation of the first gesture; if the detected gesture is a third gesture, detecting prolonged presence of the third gesture; and triggering the action, wherein the action is modified according to a modified action if defined for translation, prolonged presence or rotation. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
