Patent attributes
A user interface device includes at least a biopotential sensor and a location sensor. The user interface device is constructed to be worn by a person. A responsive device, such as a computer, receives data based on the outputs from the biopotential sensor and the location sensor, and performs actions based on the received data. Primitive gestures detected in the received data are associated with inputs of an operating system of the responsive device. For a wrist-worn device, a primitive gesture can be based on a pose of the hand or location of a wrist or both. The association of primitive gestures with inputs of the operating system can include associating primitive gestures with mouse inputs, inputs to request launching an application or switching applications, or inputs to perform other operations.
