METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GESTURE-BASED INTERACTION WITH DEVICES AND TRANSFERRING OF CONTENTS
An approach is provided for enabling gesture-based interaction with devices and transferring of contents. A device may process and/or facilitate a processing of one or more interactions with at least one first device to cause, at least in part, a selection of at least one content item, one or more information items associated with the at least one content item, or a combination thereof associated with the at least one first device. The device may further process and/or facilitate a processing of the one or more interactions, one or more other interactions with at least one second device, or a combination thereof to cause, at least in part, a selection of the at least one second device. Additionally, the device may cause, at least in part, a transfer of the at least one content item, the one or more information items associated with the at least one content item, or a combination thereof to the at least one second device.

a processing of one or more interactions with at least one first device to cause, at least in part, a selection of at least one content item, one or more information items associated with the at least one content item, or a combination thereof associated with the at least one first device;
a processing of the one or more interactions, one or more other interactions with at least one second device, or a combination thereof to cause, at least in part, a selection of the at least one second device; and
a transfer of the at least one content item, the one or more information items associated with the at least one content item, or a combination thereof to the at least one second device.
2 . A method of claim 1 , wherein the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal are further based, at least in part, on the following:
at least one determination of the at least one second device based, at least in part, on a proximity to the at least one first device.
3 . A method of claim 2 , wherein the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal are further based, at least in part, on the following:
one or more actions at the at least one first device based, at least in part, on the one or more interactions with the at least one first device.
4 . A method of claim 1 , wherein the transfer is via one or more proximity communication channels, one or more network based communication channels, or a combination thereof.
5 . A method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more interactions, the one or more other interactions, or a combination thereof include, at least in part, one or more gesture-based interactions.
6 . A method of claim 1 , wherein the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal are further based, at least in part, on the following:
at least one determination of the one or more interactions, the one or more other interactions, or a combination thereof based, at least in part, on one or more sensors associated with the at least one first device, the at least one second device, at least one third device, or a combination thereof.
7 . A method of claim 6 , wherein the at least one third device is associated with a spatial environment of the at least one first device, the at least one second device, or a combination thereof.
8 . A method of claim 1 , wherein the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal are further based, at least in part, on the following:
one or more actions at the at least one first device based, at least in part, on one or more interactions with the at least one second device.
9 . A method of claim 1 , wherein the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal are further based, at least in part, on the following:
one or more actions at the at least second device based, at least in part, on the at least one content item, the one or more information items, a user input, or a combination thereof.
10 . A method of claim 1 , wherein the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal are further based, at least in part, on the following:
a processing of one or more interactions with the at least one second device to cause, at least in part, a selection of the at least one content item, the one or more information items associated with the at least one content item, or a combination thereof associated with the at least one second device; and
a transfer of the at least one content item, the one or more information items associated with the at least one content item, or a combination thereof to the at least one first device.
11 . An apparatus comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs,
the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following,
process and/or facilitate a processing of one or more interactions with at least one first device to cause, at least in part, a selection of at least one content item, one or more information items associated with the at least one content item, or a combination thereof associated with the at least one first device;
process and/or facilitate a processing of the one or more interactions, one or more other interactions with at least one second device, or a combination thereof to cause, at least in part, a selection of the at least one second device; and
cause, at least in part, a transfer of the at least one content item, the one or more information items associated with the at least one content item, or a combination thereof to the at least one second device.
12 . An apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the apparatus is further caused to:
determine the at least one second device based, at least in part, on a proximity to the at least one first device.
13 . An apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the apparatus is further caused to:
cause, at least in part, one or more actions at the at least one first device based, at least in part, on the one or more interactions with the at least one first device.
14 . An apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the transfer is via one or more proximity communication channels, one or more network based communication channels, or a combination thereof.
15 . An apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the one or more interactions, the one or more other interactions, or a combination thereof include, at least in part, one or more gesture-based interactions.
16 . An apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the apparatus is further caused to:
determine the one or more interactions, the one or more other interactions, or a combination thereof based, at least in part, on one or more sensors associated with the at least one first device, the at least one second device, at least one third device, or a combination thereof.
17 . An apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the at least one third device is associated with a spatial environment of the at least one first device, the at least one second device, or a combination thereof.
