An electronic device includes a communication device electronically communicating with a content presentation companion device operating as a primary display for the electronic device and at least one augmented reality companion device. One or more sensors detect multiple persons within an environment while the content presentation companion device operates as the primary display. One or more processors redirect an event notification intended for presentation on the primary display to the augmented reality companion device while both the content presentation companion device operates as the primary display for the electronic device and the multiple persons are within the environment of the electronic device. When communicating with two augmented reality companion devices, the one or more processors can direct subtitles associated with a content offering, sometimes in different languages, to at least a first augmented reality companion device and a second augmented reality companion device.

Electronic devices and corresponding methods for redirecting event notifications in multi-person content presentation environments

A method for detecting and responding to snap motions. The method includes detecting a triggering event that switches a mobile device into a snap motion gesture detection state to commence a finger-snap gesture motion detection process. The method includes activating, based on detecting the triggering event, an image capturing device to capture a series of image frames of a scene and capturing, using the image capturing device, the series of image frames of the scene that includes a hand. The method includes determining, by analyzing at least two frames among the series of image frames, that a finger-snap gesture is detected in the series of image frames. The method includes executing an action corresponding to a determination that a finger-snap gesture is detected in the series of image frames.

Snap motion gesture detection and response

A method including capturing a series of image frames of a hand. The method includes generating a map of hand landmarks for each in the series of image frames. The method includes determining whether the maps of hand landmarks include at least: (i) a first map that matches a first reference map of hand landmarks representing a hand in substantially a start position of a snap motion and (ii) a subsequent, second map that matches a second reference map of hand landmarks representing a hand in a progressed (e.g., intermediate or end) position of a snap motion. The method includes determining that a finger-snap gesture is detected in response to determining that the first map and second map were generated from image frames captured within a snap time limit; and executing an action corresponding to a determination that a finger-snap gesture is detected in the series of image frames.
