Abstract: Systems and methods of multi-modal control of a touch-based device include receiving multi-modal control inputs from one or more of voice commands, a game controller, a handheld remote, and physical gestures detected by a sensor; converting the multi-modal control inputs into corresponding translated inputs which correspond to physical inputs recognizable by the touch-based device; and providing the corresponding translated inputs to the touch-based device for control thereof, wherein the translated inputs are utilized by the touch-based device as corresponding physical inputs to control underlying applications executed on the touch-based device which expect the corresponding physical inputs.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, a system, and software includes providing output from a touch-based device to an external display; detecting gestures from a user located away from and not physically touching the touch-based device; and translating the detected gestures into appropriate commands for the touch-based device. The systems and methods provide alternative control of touch-based devices such as mobile devices. The systems and methods can include a mobile device coupled to an external display device and controlled via user gestures monitored by a collocated sensor. Accordingly, the systems and methods allow users to operate applications (“apps”) on the mobile device displayed on the external display device and controlled without touching the mobile device using gestures monitored by the collocated sensor. This enables the wide variety of rich apps to be operated in a new manner.
