HANDLING-NOISE BASED GESTURE CONTROL FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICES

Embodiments are generally directed to handling-noise based gesture control for electronic devices. An embodiment of an apparatus includes a cover; multiple noise detection elements, the noise detection elements to detect handling-noise including noise generated by a command gesture performed on a surface of the cover of the apparatus, the plurality of noise detection elements including at least a first noise detection element in a first location and a second noise detection element in a second location; and a processor, the processor to process noise data generated by the plurality of noise detection elements to detect and identify the command gesture.
