Application ID: 13343061

Base Claim:
1. A method comprising: at a gesture device, detecting a gesture constituting movements from a user in three-dimensional space; identifying a possible electronic command associated with the gesture; generating a confidence score value for the electronic command associated with the gesture; comparing the electronic command associated with the gesture with a prior electronic command associated with a prior gesture previously detected by the gesture device to determine a compatibility metric between the electronic command and the prior electronic command; adjusting the confidence score value based on the compatibility metric to obtain a modified confidence score value; and executing the electronic command when the modified confidence score value is greater than a predetermined threshold confidence score value.

Claim 7:
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: detecting a new gesture after detecting the gesture and the prior gesture; generating a new confidence score value for the new gesture; selecting a new electronic command associated with the new gesture; comparing the new electronic command with the prior electronic command to determine a new compatibility metric between the new electronic command and a most recent electronic command associated with a most recent previous gesture; adjusting the new confidence score value based on the new compatibility metric to obtain a new modified confidence score value; and executing the new electronic command when the new modified confidence score value is greater than the predetermined threshold confidence value.
