Abstract:

Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are herein provided for enabling use of external devices with pre-defined gestures. A method may include receiving operation information from a remote device, wherein the operation information indicates at least one operation that may be invoked by the remote device. The method may further include associating, by a processor, at least one pre-defined gesture with the at least one operation. The method may further include receiving user input. The method may further include determining that the user input corresponds to the at least one pre-defined gesture. The method may further include causing transmission of indication information to the remote device, wherein the indication information provides an indication to the remote device to perform the at least one operation associated with the pre-defined gesture.

Abstract:

Closed loop control of a multimedia system may be achieved with a control space that includes at least two control axes. In each control axis, a coordinate on the axis may indicate a degree to which a multimedia scene facilitates or is perceived to facilitate a user state or a degree to which the user state is achieved. For example, the two control axes may be focus and restoration. A user may provide input that specifies a target state. The target state may be different than, or the same as, the user's current state. The system may select a scene that has coordinates, in the control space, that are closest, by at least a threshold, to the target state, and present the scene to the user. Sensors in the system may measure a user state that results from presenting the scene. The system may revise the scene's coordinates accordingly.
