Performing an action associated with a motion based input

Abstract:

A method implemented by a computing device having a memory and a motion sensor detection sensor is disclosed. The memory stores an input model associated with a gesture input. The method includes detecting a motion of the computing device; matching the detected motion with the input model; and determining a confidence level associated with the match. If the confidence level is above a pre-determined threshold, an action associated with the gesture input is performed automatically by the processor; and if the confidence level is below the pre-determined threshold, the action is performed by the processor responsive to receiving a positive confirmation of the gesture input.
