SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING CONTROL INSTRUCTION BY USING IMAGE PICKUP DEVICE TO RECOGNIZE USERS POSTURE
First Claim
1. A system for generating a control instruction by using an image pickup device to recognize a user'"'"'s posture, said system being in communication with an electronic device, said electronic device being controlled by said system according to a composite posture including a hand posture and a head posture of a user, said system comprising:
- an image pickup unit for capturing an image of said composite posture;
an image analyzing unit in communication with said image pickup unit for recognizing said image of said composite posture;
a database unit for storing plural reference image data and control instructions corresponding to said plural reference image data;
a comparing unit in communication with said image analyzing unit and said database unit for comparing said image of said composite posture with said plural reference image data stored in said database unit, thereby searching a specified reference image data complied with said image of said composite posture and acquiring a specified control instruction corresponding to said specified reference image data; and
an instruction processing unit in communication with said comparing unit and said electronic device for transmitting said specified control instruction searched by said comparing unit to said electronic device.

Abstract
A system and a method are provided for generating a control instruction by using an image pickup device to recognize a user'"'"'s posture. An electronic device is controlled according to different composite postures. Each composite posture is a combination of the hand posture, the head posture and the facial expression change of the user. Each composite posture indicates a corresponding control instruction. Since the composite posture is more complex than peoples'"'"' habitual actions, the possibility of causing erroneous control instruction from unintentional habitual actions of the user will be minimized or eliminated.
