Abstract:
1. A method for identifying at least one touch gesture exerted by a user on a device, wherein the device is a headset which includes at least two microphones configured to detect ambient sound, said method including the step of: (a) processing outputs of the microphones of the device to identify the at least one touch gesture exerted by the user on the device, including by determining a cross correlation peak as a function of time between the outputs of two of the microphones, and identifying at least one said touch gesture as a dynamic gesture exerted by the user on the device, in response to identifying a trend over time in values indicative of said cross correlation peak as a function of time; and wherein the step (a) includes determining a slope of the trend over time in said values indicative of said cross correlation peak as a function of time, and in response to the slope, identifying a direction of the dynamic gesture relative to one of the microphones.
