Apparatuses, methods and computer programs for controlling a machine via a mobile communication device

Embodiments relate to apparatuses (10; 30), methods and computer programs for controlling a machine. The apparatus (10) is suitable for a mobile communication device (100) for providing a sensor input signal to a machine control entity (300) to control a machine (350). The apparatus (10) comprises one or more sensor modules (12) for providing first user input sensor data and second user input sensor data. The apparatus further comprises a control module (16) configured to determine the sensor input signal based on the first user input sensor data and the second user input sensor data. The control module (16) is further configured to provide the sensor input signal for sensor data processing to the machine control entity (300) to control the machine (350) via an interface (18).
