Title:

METHODS AND DEVICES FOR HAND-ON-WHEEL GESTURE INTERACTION FOR CONTROLS

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2022/116656

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

Methods, devices, and processor-readable media for hand-on-wheel gesture controls are described. A steering wheel is virtually segmented into a plurality of radial segments. Each segment is assigned a semantic meaning. Control commands related to control functions are mapped to different virtual segments of the steering wheel. When a user performs a gesture on the steering wheel, the system recognizes the gesture and selects a control function based on the location of the hand relative to the steering wheel. In various embodiments, on-wheel hand gestures, on-wheel hand location, and voice commands may be used in various combinations to enable a user to perform a wide selection of functions using a small number of unique commands.
