Embodiment Construction

[0034] Certain embodiments of the invention may provide natural interaction for users of devices, such as wrist wearables, whose displays are not always on. For example, a device may include motion sensors, such as accelerometers and / or gyroscopes, which may detect movement of the device in real time, and may also infer information about the spatial orientation of the device (e.g., by detecting the force of gravity acting on the device acceleration). Based on signals from the movement sensors, algorithms executing on the wearable computing device can detect a "raise gesture," which can be defined as a movement pattern that indicates that the user is moving or has moved the device's display into their line of sight. (It should be appreciated that the device state may not always match whether the user is viewing the device's ground truth, although the algorithms described here can achieve this match with a high but not necessarily perfect reliability). When such a gesture is de...

Abstract

The present invention relates to raise gesture detection in a device. A wearable computing device can detect a device raise gesture. For example, an on-board motion sensor of a device can detect the movement of the device in real time and infer information about the spatial orientation of the device. Based on the analysis of the signal from the motion sensor, the device may detect a raise gesture, which may be a movement pattern consistent with the user moving the device's display into their line of sight. In response to detecting the raise gesture, the device may activate its display and / or other components. Detection of a raise gesture can occur in multiple stages, and activation of different components can occur in different stages.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Application No. 62 / 026532, filed July 18, 2014, entitled "Raise Gesture Detection ina Device," the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates generally to electronic devices, and more particularly to detecting certain classes of gestures made by a user wearing or otherwise operating an electronic device. Background technique [0004] Users are increasingly relying on mobile technology. For example, many users now carry "smart phones" that integrate mobile telephony technology with powerful computing devices, with a form factor small enough to allow them to remain in the user's hand during operation. Such devices provide a range of functionality including mobile telephony, messaging (such as SMS / MMS messaging or similar services), photography using a built-in digital camera, e-mail, World W...
