Function activating apparatus and function activating method
First Claim
1. A function activating apparatus comprising:
- a correspondence storage unit that stores therein a correspondence between encoded information and a function to be activated in response to input of biometric information formed of time-series image data, the encoded information being obtained by encoding a feature amount of at least one of a moving direction and acceleration of input operation of biometric information;
an operation detecting unit that detects, from the time-series image data input with the input operation of the biometric information, at least one of the moving direction and acceleration of the input operation of the biometric information;
a feature-amount calculating unit that calculates the feature amount of at least one of the moving direction and acceleration detected by the operation detecting unit;
an encoded-information generating unit that assigns a predetermined code to the feature amount calculated by the feature-amount calculating unit to generate the encoded information;
a function retrieving unit that retrieves from the correspondence storage unit a function associated with the encoded information generated by the encoded-information generating unit; and
a function activating unit that activates the function retrieved by the function retrieving unit.

Abstract
A function activating apparatus includes a correspondence storage unit, an operation detecting unit, a feature-amount calculating unit, an encoded-information generating unit, a function retrieving unit, and a function activating unit. The correspondence storage unit stores a correspondence between encoded information and a function to be activated in response to input of biometric information formed of time-series image data. The operation detecting unit detects, from the time-series image data, at least one of the moving direction and acceleration of the input operation of the biometric information. The feature-amount calculating unit calculates the feature amount of at least one of the moving direction and acceleration. The encoded-information generating unit assigns a predetermined code to the feature amount. The function retrieving unit retrieves from the correspondence storage unit a function associated with the encoded information. The function activating unit activates the function.

6. A function activating method comprising:
-
detecting, from time-series image data input with input operation of biometric information, at least one of a moving direction and acceleration of the input operation of the biometric-information; calculating a feature amount of at least one of the moving direction and acceleration detected at the detecting; generating encoded information by assigning a predetermined code to the feature amount calculated at the calculating; retrieving a function associated with the encoded information generated at the generating from a correspondence storage unit that stores therein a correspondence between encoded information and a function to be activated in response to input of biometric information formed of time-series image data, the encoded information being obtained by encoding a feature amount of at least one of a moving direction and acceleration of input operation of biometric information; and activating the function retrieved at the retrieving.
