Abstract

Apparatuses and methods for user-directed motion gesture control are disclosed. According to aspects of the present disclosure, direct user inputs can be used to provide access control of a device. In some embodiments, a wearable mobile device may be configured to accept user commands, and be configured to sense multitude of use, use environment, and use contexts. The wearable mobile device may include a memory configured to store a set of reference access control motion gesture sequences, one or more sensors configured to sense a motion gesture sequence, and a controller configured to determine a valid access control motion gesture sequence using the motion gesture sequence and the set of reference access control motion gesture sequences.

         6 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the controller configured to determine the valid access control motion gesture sequence is further configured to:
 generate a prompt to a user requesting a particular access control motion gesture sequence;   receive a response motion gesture sequence from the user; and   determine whether there is a match between the response motion gesture sequence and the particular access control motion gesture sequence.   
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 6 , wherein the prompt comprises a haptic message received by the user. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 6 , wherein the particular access control motion gesture sequence is selected from a plurality of access control motion gesture sequences in the set of predetermined motion gesture sequences. 
     
     
         9 . A method of providing access control of a device, comprising:
 storing a set of reference access control motion gesture sequences in a memory;   sensing a motion gesture sequence using one or more sensors; and   determining a valid access control motion gesture sequence using the motion gesture sequence and the set of reference access control motion gesture sequences.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the device is a wrist-worn device. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the motion gesture sequence comprises one or more motion gestures generated by a user using one hand. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the motion gesture sequence comprises one or more motion gestures generated by a user without visual assistance. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the determining the valid access control motion gesture sequence comprises:
 comparing the motion gesture sequence with the set of reference access control motion gesture sequences stored in the memory; and   identifying the valid access control motion gesture sequence in response to a match being found in the set of reference access control motion gesture sequences.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the determining the valid access control motion gesture sequence further comprises:
 generating a prompt to a user requesting a particular access control motion gesture sequence;   receiving a response motion gesture sequence from the user; and   determining whether there is a match between the response motion gesture sequence and the particular access control motion gesture sequence.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the prompt comprises a haptic message received by the user. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the particular access control motion gesture sequence is selected from a plurality of access control motion gesture sequences in the set of predetermined motion gesture sequences. 
     
     
         17 . A non-transitory medium storing program code for execution by one or more processors, the program comprising program code for:
