POWER CONTROL METHOD OF DEVICE CONTROLLABLE BY USER'S GESTURE
First Claim
1. A method of controlling a user interface of a computing device by using a camera for gesture detection of a user, the method comprising:
- detecting an active input which is designated to switch a first power mode of the camera to a second power mode;
switching an operation mode of the camera to the second power mode according to the designated user input;
detecting a user gesture in the second power mode; and
controlling the computing device according to the detected gesture,wherein more user gestures are detected in the second power mode than the first power mode.

Abstract
Provided is a method which minimizes power consumption by controlling power of a camera that is used for recognizing a user'"'"'s gesture, in a video processing apparatus, which recognizes the user'"'"'s gesture and is controlled according to the recognized gesture, such as a TV or a monitor. In the present invention, a camera is driven in a low power mode or a high power mode, and when a user'"'"'s specific gesture is detected in the lower power mode, the camera is switched to the high power mode for recognizing a detailed gesture.

13. A user input detecting method in a computing device connected to a camera by using the camera for gesture detection of a user, the user input detecting method comprising:
-
detecting an active gesture which is designated to switch a first power mode of the camera to a second power mode which enables detection of more user gestures than the first power mode; switching an operation mode of the camera to the second power mode according to the active gesture; detecting a user gesture in the second power mode; and transmitting a control command signal corresponding to the detected gesture to the computing device. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
