Abstract

In one example, a method includes receiving, by a server and from a plurality of computing devices, data representative of a group of gesture-shortcut pairs that each include a gesture having been detected by at least one computing device from the plurality of computing devices and a shortcut associated with the detected gesture, and wherein the shortcut corresponds to an operation to be executed by the at least one from the plurality of computing devices. The method includes sorting the data representative of each respective gesture-shortcut pair from the group of gesture-shortcut pairs into at least two subgroups, a first subgroup including the first gesture-shortcut pair and a second including the second gesture-shortcut pair, the sorting being based on detected similarities between at least one of each respective gesture from the group of gesture-shortcut pairs and each respective shortcut from the group of gesture-shortcut pairs.
