Abstract

Claims (41)

1. Memory comprising instructions to cause at least one processor circuit to:

access first data, the first data based on a first output of one or more sensors, the first output associated with a first hand movement by a user relative to first content presented on a display screen;

determine a first gesture based on the first data;

in response to the first gesture, cause display of a first selectable option and a second selectable option;

access second data, the second data based on a second output of the one or more sensors, the second output associated with a second hand movement by the user, the second hand movement associated with selection of at least one of the first selectable option or the second selectable option; and

output a command associated with the selection.

2. The memory of claim 1 , wherein the instructions are to cause one or more of the at least one processor circuit to cause display of illuminated content.

3. The memory of claim 2 , wherein the instructions are to cause one or more of the at least one processor circuit to cause a brightness of the illuminated content to fade over time.

4. The memory of claim 1 , wherein the second data is indicative of a second gesture corresponding to the second hand movement, the second gesture different than the first gesture.

5. The memory of claim 1 , wherein the first hand movement includes movement of a finger of a hand of the user.

6. The memory of claim 1 , wherein the first selectable option and the second selectable option include text.

7. The memory of claim 1 , wherein the first selectable option and the second selectable option are displayed as a list.

8. An electronic device comprising:

a display;

a sensor;

machine-readable instructions; and

at least one processor circuit to be programmed by the machine-readable instructions to:

determine a first gesture based on first data, the first data based on a first output of the sensor, the first output associated with a first hand movement by a user relative to first content presented on the display;

in response to the first gesture, cause presentation of a menu on the display, the menu including a first selectable option and a second selectable option;

identify selection of one of the first selectable option or the second selectable option based on second data, the second data based on a second output of the sensor, the second output associated with a second hand movement by the user; and

output a command associated with the selection.

9. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the electronic device is a wireless personal electronic device.

10. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the sensor includes a camera.

11. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein one or more of the at least one processor circuit is to determine a second gesture based on the second data, the second gesture different than the first gesture.

12. The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the second gesture is defined by two fingers of a hand of the user.

13. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the first hand movement includes movement of a finger of a hand of the user.

14. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the command is to cause presentation of additional content on the display.

15. An apparatus comprising:

means for sensing movement;

means for displaying content;

computer readable instructions;

means for processing the computer readable instructions to:

determine a first gesture based on first data, the first data based on a first output of the sensing means, the first output associated with a first finger movement by a user relative to first content presented on the displaying means;

in response to the first gesture, cause presentation of a first selectable option and a second selectable option on the displaying means;

determine a second gesture based on second data, the second gesture indicative of selection of one of the first selectable option or the second selectable option, the second data based on a second output of the sensing means, the second output associated with a second finger movement by the user; and

output a command after the second gesture.

16. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the means for processing is to cause presentation of illuminated content on the displaying means.

17. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the means for processing is to cause a brightness of the illuminated content to fade over time.

18. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the first gesture is different than the second gesture.

19. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the first selectable option and the second selectable option include text.

20. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the first selectable option and the second selectable option are presented in a menu.
