    Abstract: Various embodiments enable a user to provide an input to an application by covering or otherwise obscuring one or more cameras of a computing device in a predetermined sequence. For example, as content is displayed by a computing device, image information is captured with multiple cameras. Upon detecting a portion of a hand of a user, such as a finger, passing over two or more of the cameras, a sequence in which the hand passes over the cameras is compared to sequences stored by the computing device. In this example, each sequence stored by the computing device corresponds to an input to an application to launch the application, cause a function to be executed using the application, and the like. Accordingly, in response to the sequence matching one of the stored sequences, an input is provided to an application corresponding to the sequence.

    Abstract translation: 各种实施例使得用户能够以预定顺序覆盖或者模糊计算设备的一个或多个摄像机来向应用提供输入。 例如,当计算设备显示内容时,用多个摄像机捕获图像信息。 当检测到诸如手指的用户的手的一部分通过两个或更多个相机时,将手通过相机的顺序与由计算设备存储的序列进行比较。 在该示例中,由计算设备存储的每个序列对应于用于启动应用的应用的输入,使得使用应用执行功能等。 因此,响应于与所存储的序列之一匹配的序列,向与该序列相对应的应用提供输入。
