Assigning gesture dictionaries
First Claim
1. A method for assigning a gesture dictionary, comprising:
- determining a characteristic of a user that is independent of motions or poses made by the user;
assigning a first gesture dictionary to the user based on the characteristic determined, the first gesture dictionary including a set of commands for processing by a computer;
capturing data indicative of a gesture of the user;
processing the captured gesture data using the first gesture dictionary to determine whether the captured gesture of the user corresponds to a command in the set of commands; and
invoking the command if the processing of the captured gesture of the user is determined to correspond to the command.

Abstract
Techniques for assigning a gesture dictionary in a gesture-based system to a user comprise capturing data representative of a user in a physical space. In a gesture-based system, gestures may control aspects of a computing environment or application, where the gestures may be derived from a user'"'"'s position or movement in a physical space. In an example embodiment, the system may monitor a user'"'"'s gestures and select a particular gesture dictionary in response to the manner in which the user performs the gestures. The gesture dictionary may be assigned in real time with respect to the capture of the data representative of a user'"'"'s gesture. The system may generate calibration tests for assigning a gesture dictionary. The system may track the user during a set of short gesture calibration tests and assign the gesture dictionary based on a compilation of the data captured that represents the user'"'"'s gestures.

9. A system for assigning a gesture dictionary, comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory bearing instructions that, upon execution by the processor, cause the system at least to; determine a characteristic of a user that is independent of motions or poses made by the user; assign a first gesture dictionary to the user based on the characteristic determined, the first gesture dictionary including a set of commands for processing in accordance with a corresponding gesture; capture data indicative of a gesture of the user; process the captured gesture data using the first gesture dictionary to determine whether the captured gesture of the user corresponds to a command in the set of commands; and invoking the command if the processing of the captured gesture of the user is determined to correspond to the command. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computer-readable storage device bearing computer-executable instructions that, when executed on a computer, cause the computer to for assign a gesture dictionary by performing operations comprising:
-
determining a characteristic of a user that is independent of motions or poses made by the user; assigning a first gesture dictionary to the user based on the characteristic determined, the first gesture dictionary including a set of commands for processing by a computer; capturing data indicative of a gesture of the user; processing the captured gesture data using the first gesture dictionary to determine whether the captured gesture of the user corresponds to a command in the set of commands; and invoking the command if the processing of the captured gesture of the user is determined to correspond to the command. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
