First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for authorizing a transaction, the method comprising:
- tracking, by a mobile user device, movements of the mobile user device;
determining, by the mobile user device, whether the tracked movements include an authorization gesture; and
responsive to determining that the tracked movements include the authorization gesture, transmitting, by the mobile user device, information to a mobile hub device, the mobile hub device awaiting authorization of an operation initiated by the user on the mobile hub device, the information causing the operation on the mobile hub device to be completed.

Abstract
The use of gestures on a user device to interact with and obtain functionality from remote communication hub devices is disclosed. A user device includes an accelerometer or other motion detection device and a wireless communications capability. The device is small enough to be placed conveniently about the person and communicates with a communication hub device to perform context-dependent actions. A user makes a gestural command to the device. The device interprets the gesture and undertakes activity. The gestural sensing device may be a motion switch, a multi-axis accelerometer, a video camera, a variable capacitance device, a magnetic field sensor, an electrical field sensor etc. When combined with business logic running on a remote computer system, the device can be used to implement a range of applications and services.
