摘要： Generating motion recognizers from example motions, without substantial programming, without limitation to any fixed set of well-known gestures, and without limitation to motions that occur substantially in a plane, or are substantially predefined in scope. From example motions for each class of motion to be recognized, a system automatically generates motion recognizers using machine learning techniques. Those motion recognizers can be incorporated into an end-user application, with the effect that when a user of the application supplies a motion, those motion recognizers will recognize the motion as an example of one of the known classes of motion. Motion recognizers can be incorporated into an end-user application; tuned to improve recognition rates for subsequent motions to allow end-users to add new example motions.

摘要： Methods and systems capable of determining which subset of a set of logical expressions are true with relatively few evaluations of the primitives that, together with any standard logical connectives, make up the logical expressions. A plurality of directed acyclic graphs, each graph including at least one root node, at least one leaf node, and at least one non-leaf node associated with a leaf node. Each node is associated with a, possibly empty, subset of presumed to be true logical expressions. Each non-leaf node is associated with one of the primitives mentioned in any of the logical expressions. Edges are defined between two of the nodes, each edge being associated with a possible value, or range of possible values, of the primitive associated with the node at the tail of the edge. Paths are defined through each of the directed acyclic graphs from a root node to a leaf node by recursively following each edge corresponding to the current value of the primitive at a selected non-leaf node. Lastly, subsets of logical expressions associated with the nodes on the defined paths are collated to yield a subset of logical expressions that are true.
