GESTURE INPUT DEVICE AND GESTURE INPUT METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/011263
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A gesture input device (100) comprises: a coordinate input detection unit (102) for sequentially detecting the coordinates corresponding to the positions of a user's hand; a gesture start detection unit (103) for detecting, from the detected first coordinate sequence, a component indicating a first hand motion intending the start of a gesture; a guiding image generation unit (104) for, when the component indicating the first hand motion is detected, generating a gesture guiding image for guiding the user to perform a gesture including a second hand motion; an intentional motion component detection unit (105) for detecting, as an intentional motion component, a component indicating the second hand motion from the second coordinate sequence detected after the gesture guiding image is displayed on a screen (108); and a control signal generation unit (106) for, when the intentional motion component is detected, detecting a component indicating the hand motion corresponding to the gesture from the second coordinate sequence and generating a control signal according to the detection result.
