Abstract

Due to sensing technologies, gestures are assisting users in conveniently operating smartphone. This paper offers the influence of gesture control with hand-held 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.
