Adaptive Gesture Tutorial

1 . A computer-implemented method for determining a tutorial presentation for users of computing devices, the method comprising:

determining a gesture repertoire of a user associated with a computing device, the gesture repertoire representing gesture information associated with gestures detected a pre-determined number of times on the computing device or another computing device associated with the user;

determining a gesture associated with the computing device wherein the determined gesture is not represented in the gesture repertoire;

determining a tutorial presentation corresponding to the determined gesture; and

transmitting the determined tutorial presentation to a presentation module in the computing device for presentation to the user.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving feedback indicating that the user did not learn the determined gesture;

modifying the determined tutorial presentation or creating a new tutorial presentation based on the received feedback; and

transmitting the modified or newly created tutorial presentation.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving information about a learned gesture for inclusion in the gesture repertoire, the learned gesture corresponding to a gesture detected on the computing device a pre-determined number of times.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the gesture associated with the computing device is supported by an operating system or an application on the computing device.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the tutorial presentation is presented to the user responsive to an installation or update of an operating system on the computing device.

6 . The method of claim 1 wherein determining the tutorial presentation further comprises determining the tutorial presentation responsive to an update or installation of an application on the computing device.

7 . The method of claim 1 wherein a plurality of users are associated with the computing device, the method further comprising:

receiving an identification associated with one of the plurality of the users; and

wherein determining the gesture repertoire comprises determining the gesture repertoire associated with the received identification associated with one of the plurality of the users.

8 . A computer readable storage medium storing instructions thereon, the instructions executed by one or more processors cause the processors to:

determine a gesture repertoire of a user associated with a computing device, the gesture repertoire representing gesture information associated with gestures detected a pre-determined number of times on the computing device or another computing device associated with the user;

determine a gesture associated with the computing device wherein the determined gesture is not represented in the gesture repertoire;

determine a tutorial presentation corresponding to the determined gesture; and

transmit the determined tutorial presentation to a presentation module in the computing device for presentation to the user.

9 . The computer readable storage medium of claim 8 , further comprising instructions executed by the one or more processors cause the processors to:

receive feedback indicating that the user did not learn the determined gesture;

modify the determined tutorial presentation or create a new tutorial presentation based on the received feedback; and

transmit the modified or newly created tutorial presentation.

10 . The computer readable storage medium of claim 8 , further comprising instructions executed by the one or more processors cause the processors to receive a learned gesture for inclusion in the gesture repertoire, the learned gesture corresponding to a gesture detected on the computing device a pre-determined number of times.

11 . The computer readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the gesture associated with the computing device is supported by an operating system or an application on the computing device.

12 . The computer readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the tutorial presentation is presented to the user responsive to an installation or update of an operating system on the computing device.

13 . The computer readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein determining the tutorial presentation further comprises determining the tutorial presentation responsive to an update or installation of an application on the computing device.

14 . The computer readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein a plurality of users are associated with the computing device, further comprising instructions executed by the processor cause the processor to:

receive an identification associated with one of the plurality of the users; and

wherein determining the gesture repertoire comprises determining the gesture repertoire associated with the received identification associated with one of the plurality of the users.

15 . A computer-implemented method for determining a tutorial presentation for a user of a computing device, the method comprising:

receiving a tutorial presentation comprising instructions on use a gesture not included in a gesture repertoire, the gesture repertoire representing gesture information associated with gestures detected a pre-determined number of times on the computing device or another computing device associated with the user;

storing the received tutorial presentation; and

presenting the received tutorial responsive to registration of the computing device or installation or an update of an application or an operating system on the computing device.

16 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

transmitting feedback indicating that the user did not learn the gesture taught in the tutorial presentation;

receiving a modified tutorial presentation or a new tutorial presentation based on the transmitted feedback; and

presenting the modified or newly created tutorial presentation to the user.

17 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

determining a learned gesture corresponding to a gesture detected on the computing device a pre-determined number of times; and

transmitting an identification of the learned gesture for inclusion in the gesture repertoire.

18 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the gesture in the tutorial presentation is supported by an operating system or an application on the computing device.

19 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the tutorial presentation is presented to the user responsive to an installation or update of an operating system on the computing device.

20 . The method of claim 15 , wherein receiving the tutorial presentation further comprises receiving the tutorial presentation responsive to an update or installation of an application on the computing device.
