Patent 9417704 was granted and assigned to Google on August, 2016 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Implementations of the disclosed subject matter provide techniques for improved identification of a gesture based on data obtained from multiple devices. A method may include receiving an indication of an onset of a gesture, from a first device, at a gesture coordinating device. Next, first subsequent data describing the gesture may be received from a second device, at the gesture coordinating device. Based on the indication and the first subsequent data, the gesture may be identified. In response to identification of the gesture, an action may be performed based on the gesture identified. In some cases, the gesture coordinating device may be a cloud-based device.
