Sensor mapping

Abstract

Techniques, systems and computer program products are disclosed for providing sensor mapping. In one aspect, a method includes receiving input from a user. The received input includes at least one of motion, force and contact. In addition, a sensor signal is generated based on the received input. From a choice of data structures a data structure associated with a selected application having one or more functions is identified. The data structure indicates a relationship between the generated sensor signal and the one or more functions of the selected application. The generated sensor signal is selectively mapped into a control signal for controlling the one or more functions of the selected application by using the identified data structure.

         30 . A method comprising:
 receiving input from a user, wherein the received input includes at least one of motion, force and contact;   generating a sensor signal based on the received input;   using an application type of a selected application to identify, from a plurality of data structures that are each associated with an application type, a data structure associated with the application type of the selected application, wherein the identified data structure indicates a relationship between the generated sensor signal and one or more functions of applications having a same application type as the selected application; and   using the identified data structure to map the generated sensor signal to a control signal for controlling one or more functions of the selected application based on the identified data structure.
