Computing system utilizing coordinated two-hand command gestures

Abstract

A computing system utilizing coordinated two-hand command gestures. An embodiment of an apparatus includes a sensing element to sense a presence or movement of a user of the apparatus, including the sensing of command gestures by the user to provide input to the apparatus, a processor, wherein operation of the processor includes interpretation of the command gestures of the user and the implementation of actions in response to the command gestures, and a display screen to display elements to the user, where the display screen may display one or more elements use in command gestures, where command gestures include coordinated two-hand command gestures of the user.

1 . An apparatus comprising:
 a sensing element to sense a presence or movement of a user of the apparatus, the sensing element to sense command gestures by the user to provide input to the apparatus;   a processor, wherein operation of the processor includes interpretation of the command gestures of the user and the implementation of actions in response to the command gestures; and   a display screen to display elements to the user, where the display screen may display one or more elements as objects for command gestures;   wherein the command gestures include two-hand command gestures of the user.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein a command gesture includes entry into a first state based on a gesture of a first hand of the user and performance of an operation in the first state based on a gesture of a second hand of the user. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the first state includes a pinning of the display screen in a current location. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the gesture of the first hand for pinning the display screen includes a thumb and index finger of the first hand in an open position. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the operation is a selection of an element of the screen based on the gesture of the second hand. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the operation is a detailed entry in the current position using the second hand of the user. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the first state includes a switch to a different view. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the operation is a selection of an element in the different view based on the gesture of the second hand. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the gesture of the first hand includes a change of a position of one or more fingers of the first hand from an extended position to a bent position. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the first state includes a search of an item selected by a gesture of the first hand of the user. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the operation is a selection of a search choice provided by the apparatus. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , where the gesture of the first hand includes formation of a loop with the thumb and one or more of the other fingers of the first hand. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein a command gesture is a simultaneous command gesture by a first hand and a second hand of the user. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein an action in response to the command gesture is a reset. 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein the command gesture is one of forming fists with both hands, or both hands being open with palms towards the display screen. 
     
     
         16 . A method comprising:
 displaying one or more elements as objects for command gestures of a user for a computing system;   detecting a command gesture of the user for the computing system; and   interpreting the command gesture and implementing action in response to the command gesture;   wherein the command gesture is a two-hand gesture of the user.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein:
 if the command gesture is a simultaneous two-hand gesture, the gesture is interpreted as a single action two-hand gesture; and   if the command gesture is a first gesture by a first hand followed by a second gesture by a second hand, then the command gesture is interpreted as a coordinated two-hand gesture.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein a single action two-hand gesture is a reset command. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein the command gesture is one of forming fists with both hands, or both hands being open with palms towards the computer display. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19 , where the first gesture by the first hand of a coordinated two-hand gesture is a gesture to pin the display screen in a current location.
