Claim Text:
1. A method performed by a wearable electromyography (“EMG”) device to identify a gesture performed by a user operating the wearable EMG device, wherein the wearable EMG device includes a set of EMG sensors and a processor, the set of EMG sensors communicatively coupled to the processor, and the method comprising: detecting muscle activity of the user of the wearable EMG device by the set of EMG sensors, wherein the muscle activity corresponds to the gesture performed by the user; in response to detecting muscle activity of the user by the set of EMG sensors, providing a set of signals from the set of EMG sensors to the processor; determining a set of values from the set of signals by the processor; ranking each value in the set of values by the processor, wherein ranking each value in the set of values by the processor includes assigning a rank number to each value in the set of values by the processor; generating a permutation of a digit string based at least in part on the rank number of each value in the set of values by the processor; and identifying the gesture by the processor based at least in part on the permutation of the digit string.
