A gesture-based command is a recording of the data that results from the movement of an accelerometer during a gesture event. Once authenticated by the onboard recognition engine and subsequently stored, this unique command can be used to execute an operation. One example of this is using a mobile phone to make “V” gesture which then enables voicemail. Gesture recognition is the ability to make a gesture sensed by the accelerometer that initiates an action. Kionix’s Gesture Designer is a software engine that, when embedded into device hardware, allows individuals to capture and manage unique signatures for any number of user-generated gestures for motion-enabled functionality in consumer electronics. Gesture Designer is a library of code from which user-specific, gesture-based commands can be created and managed.
