Abstract

Disclosed is an interface system including: a mobile terminal having a gesture recognition function that includes a camera capable of exchanging a filter and a controller analyzing image information provided from the camera to recognize a user'"'"'s gesture and outputting a control signal corresponding to the recognized gesture; and a secondary apparatus that communicates with the mobile terminal in a short-range wireless communication method. In the interface system, the mobile terminal recognizing the user'"'"'s gesture transmits the corresponding control signal to the secondary apparatus in the short-range wireless communication method so as to control the secondary apparatus.

Claims

1. A mobile terminal having a gesture recognition function, comprising:

a camera capable of exchanging a filter; and

a controller analyzing image information provided from the camera to recognize a user'"'"'s gesture and outputting a control signal corresponding to the recognized user'"'"'s gesture.

2. The mobile terminal having a gesture recognition function according to claim 1, wherein the mobile terminal includes an infrared lamp at a predetermined portion thereof.

3. The mobile terminal having a gesture recognition function according to claim 1, wherein the camera includes an infrared-ray shielding filter and a visible-ray shielding filter.

4. The mobile terminal having a gesture recognition function according to claim 3, wherein the the infrared-ray shielding filter and the visible-ray shielding filter are arranged side by side and manually exchangeable by a user.

5. The mobile terminal having a gesture recognition function according to claim 3, wherein the infrared-ray shielding filter and the visible-ray shielding filter are disposed in a circle and exchanged by a motor.

6. The mobile terminal having a gesture recognition function according to claim 1, further comprising a short-range communication module controlling a secondary apparatus positioned in a short range in a short-range wireless communication scheme.

7. A 3D interface system, comprising:

a secondary apparatus where a marker is installed; and

a mobile terminal recognizing the marker of the secondary apparatus by using a camera incorporated therein to determine the kind of the secondary apparatus and recognizing 3D space information with the secondary apparatus to output a control signal for controlling the secondary apparatus.

8. The 3D interface system according to claim 7, wherein the secondary apparatus is a large-sized display apparatus.

9. The 3D interface system according to claim 7, wherein the secondary apparatus and the mobile terminal communicate with each other by a short-range wireless communication scheme.

10. The 3D interface system according to claim 7, wherein the mobile terminal outputs the control signal for controlling the secondary apparatus by recognizing a user'"'"'s gesture.
