Analysis of gesture combos for social activity on smartphone

Abstract

Due to sensing technologies, gestures are assisting users in conveniently operating smartphone. This paper offers the influence of gesture control with handheld motions, since accelerometer sensor is easy for application and measurement. Gesture combos are designed to trigger a series of tasks, while a single gesture has been designed to execute a task on current APPs. We give an analysis of complex composite gestures, and explore user basic and social tasks on smartphone in order to find a match between social tasks and gesture combos. A series of tasks are illustrated, while some matching mechanisms are used for developing control functions with gesture combos. Some experiences of measuring gestures are also shown in the paper.
