6. The first electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the set of one or more criteria includes a criterion that is met when the input corresponds to one or more digits of a user.
7. The first electronic device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
in accordance with a determination that the infrared source of the second electronic device is occluded, prompting to move the second electronic device to a new location.
8. The first electronic device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
obtaining image data about the second electronic device using the one or more camera sensors of the first electronic device;
determining, based on the image data about the second electronic device, a location of the second electronic device; and
displaying a virtual keyboard based on the location of the second electronic device.
9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of a first electronic device, the one or more programs including instructions for:
causing emission of infrared light by an infrared source of a second electronic device;
obtaining image data about an input, wherein the image data is obtained using one or more camera sensors of the first electronic device, the first electronic device different from the second electronic device; and
in accordance with a determination that a set of one or more criteria is met based on the image data, performing an operation based on the input, wherein the set of one or more criteria includes a criterion that is met when the input contacts the infrared light.
10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
in accordance with a determination that the set of one or more criteria is not met based on the image data, forgoing performing the operation based on the input.
11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the input occurs at a location other than the location of the first electronic device and the location of the second electronic device.
12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the set of one or more criteria includes a criterion that is met when the input is a gesture.
13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein the set of one or more criteria includes a criterion that is met when the input is a tap gesture, pinch or spread gesture, or a rotate gesture.
14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the set of one or more criteria includes a criterion that is met when the input corresponds to one or more digits of a user.
15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
in accordance with a determination that the infrared source of the second electronic device is occluded, prompting to move the second electronic device to a new location.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
obtaining image data about the second electronic device using the one or more camera sensors of the first electronic device;
determining, based on the image data about the second electronic device, a location of the second electronic device; and
displaying a virtual keyboard based on the location of the second electronic device.
17. A method, comprising:
at a first electronic device:
causing emission of infrared light by an infrared source of a second electronic device;
obtaining image data about an input, wherein the image data is obtained using one or more camera sensors of the first electronic device, the first electronic device different from the second electronic device; and
in accordance with a determination that a set of one or more criteria is met based on the image data, performing an operation based on the input, wherein the set of one or more criteria includes a criterion that is met when the input contacts the infrared light.
18. The method of claim 17 , further comprising:
in accordance with a determination that the set of one or more criteria is not met based on the image data, forgoing performing the operation based on the input.
19. The method of claim 17 , wherein the input occurs at a location other than the location of the first electronic device and the location of the second electronic device.
20. The method of claim 17 , wherein the set of one or more criteria includes a criterion that is met when the input is a gesture.
21. The method of claim 20 , wherein the set of one or more criteria includes a criterion that is met when the input is a tap gesture, pinch or spread gesture, or a rotate gesture.
22. The method of claim 17 , wherein the set of one or more criteria includes a criterion that is met when the input corresponds to one or more digits of a user.
23. The method of claim 17 , further comprising:
in accordance with a determination that the infrared source of the second electronic device is occluded, prompting to move the second electronic device to a new location.
