Abstract:
1. A computerized method for operating a wearable computer using a user interface system having a touch pad, comprising: receiving a sensor input, wherein the sensor input relates to at least one of an environment condition, a pulse sensor reading, a motion sensor reading, or a user status; determining whether a gesture received at the touch pad makes sense in a current mode; determining whether the gesture received at the touch pad makes sense in a second mode, other than the current mode, based on the sensor input; and changing the behavior of the wearable computer in response to the gesture received at the touch pad and the sensor input and based on the gesture making sense in the second mode and the gesture not making sense in the current mode, wherein changing the behavior of the wearable computer comprises changing modes from the current mode to the second mode, and wherein the gesture is not used for a graphical user interface operation and is not used for a cursor operation; and executing an operation in response to the received gesture, wherein the operation is executed based on not receiving a confirmation from the user for a threshold time period after prompting the user for confirmation and determining that the user is moving during the threshold time period based on the sensor input.
