Abstract
Embodiments are directed to a computer-implemented method of controlling an electronic device. The method includes detecting, using a processor, a user using one or more sensors. The method further includes selecting one table from a set of tables, wherein each table includes a set of rules to be followed depending on the detecting step. The method further includes measuring changes in a position of the user that are detected by the one or more sensors. The method further includes comparing the changes in the position of the user to one or more rules in the selected table. The method further includes controlling the electronic device based on the comparison.
