1. A computer-implemented method of configuring a device to receive gesture inputs of a particular culture, comprising: retrieving parameter data of the device, the parameter data including at least one of a language setting, a time zone setting, a calendar event setting, and a history record of a previous cultural setting of the device; computing a likelihood value of a culture based on the parameter data, the likelihood value indicating a probability that a user of the device belongs to the culture; comparing the computed likelihood value of the culture with a pre-determined threshold; if the likelihood value of the culture is greater than the pre-determined threshold, assigning a data record representing a cultural setting of the device to the culture, wherein the data record includes a user identification field holding an identification of the user of the device, and a cultural setting field corresponding to the user identification and storing a cultural value representing the culture; and if not greater, computing a next likelihood value of another culture based on the parameter data and repeating the comparing step; and responsive to the assigning the cultural setting of the device, adopting a gesture recognizer of the device to the cultural setting.
