Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods adapt established concepts from natural language processing for use in gesture identification algorithms. A gesture identification system includes sensors, a processor, and a non-transitory processor-readable memory that stores data and/or instructions for performing gesture identification. A gesture identification system may include a wearable gesture identification device. The gesture identification process involves segmenting signals from the sensors into data windows, assigning a respective 'window class' to each data window, and identifying a user-performed gesture based on the corresponding sequence of window classes. Each window class exclusively characterizes at least one data window property and is analogous to a 'letter' of an alphabet. Under this model, each gesture is analogous to a “word” made up of a particular combination of window classes.
