Abstract
This disclosure is generally directed to a method on a gesture-based messaging device (“messaging device”). According to various implementations, the messaging device detects a user's gesture (e.g., arm gesture, hand gesture, or finger gesture) using, for example, Electromyography or EMG. The messaging device may be implemented as a wearable device, such as a ring, wristband (e.g., a wristwatch), or pair of glasses (e.g., Google Glass™). The messaging device attempts to authenticate the user. If the messaging device authenticates the user and recognizes the gesture as indicating that a social media message is to be dictated, then the messaging device enters a social media mode, during which it listens for and receives an input of a spoken message from the user, converts the spoken message to a text message, and transmits the text message to a social media entity (e.g., Twitter®, Facebook®, or Tumblr®).
