Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving, by a gesture coordinating detector, data from a first computing device indicating that a user of the first computing device has likely begun performing a gesture using the first computing device; transmitting, by the gesture coordinating detector, an instruction to a second computing device to indicate whether the user of the first computing device is likely performing the gesture, the indication as to whether the user of the first computing device is likely performing the gesture being based on an analysis of sensor data collected by the second computing device; in response to the instruction, receiving, by the gesture coordinating detector, data from the second computing device indicating whether the user of the first computing device is likely performing, or has likely begun performing, the gesture; and determining, by the gesture coordinating detector, whether the user of the first computing device is likely performing, or has likely begun performing, the gesture based at least on (i) the data from the first computing device indicating that the user of the first computing device has likely begun performing the gesture, and (ii) the data from the second computing device indicating that the user of the first computing device is likely performing, or has likely begun performing, the gesture.
