  • Methods and apparatuses for gesture-based user input detection in a mobile device
    Patent number: 9513714
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided that may be implemented in a mobile device to: determine whether the mobile device is in a gesture command input ready state based, at least in part, on a display portion of the mobile device remaining in a horizontal viewable position for a threshold period of time; with the mobile device in a gesture command input ready state, determine whether a detected movement of the mobile device represents a gesture command input; and in response to the determined gesture command input, affect a user perceivable output.
