Abstract

A device for using user gesture to replace the exit key and the enter key of a terminal equipment, comprising a CPU module, a gesture input module, a gesture processing module, a terminal application module, a memory module and a terminal function module. The CPU module can be connected with the gesture input module, the gesture processing module, the terminal application module, the memory module and the terminal function module, and can receive the user gesture input information sent by the gesture input module, the setting content information sent by the terminal application module, and the gesture identifying information sent by the gesture processing module. The CPU module can exit with or without saving from the received setting content information based on the gesture identifying information. The device increases the viewable area of the user and simplifies the human-machine interaction process.

Claims

1. A device for replacing “

cancel” and

“

okay”

input buttons of a mobile communication terminal with user gesture inputs, comprising;

a central processing unit module communicatively coupled to a gesture input module, a gesture processing module, a terminal application module, a gesture memory module, and a terminal function module;

wherein the gesture input module is further communicatively coupled to the gesture processing module and the terminal application module and is configured to generate user gesture input information based on a user gesture input received from a user and send the user gesture input information to the central processing unit module, the gesture processing module, and the terminal application module;

wherein the gesture processing module is further communicatively coupled to the gesture input module and is configured to convert the user gesture input information received from the gesture input module into gesture recognition information and send the gesture recognition information to the central processing unit module;

wherein the terminal application module is configured to change content of a terminal application, generate content change information based on the user gesture input information received from the gesture input module, and send the content change information to the central processing unit module;

wherein the central processing unit module is configured to process the user gesture input information, the content change information, and the gesture recognition information to generate a save instruction and a functional instruction;

wherein the gesture memory module is configured to receive and save the content change information from the central processing unit module based at least in part on the save instruction received from the central processing unit module; and

wherein the terminal function module is configured to receive the functional instruction from the central processing unit module and execute functional actions of a mobile communication terminal based at least in part on the functional instruction.

2. The device of claim 1, wherein when the gesture recognition information comprises okay gesture information, the central processing unit module is configured to send the content change information to the gesture memory module for storage and to exit a terminal application setting.

3. The device of claim 2, wherein the okay gesture information is generated based on a sliding-path “

O”

symbol drawn by a user on a screen communicatively coupled to the gesture input module of the device.

4. The device of claim 1, wherein when the gesture recognition information received comprises cancel gesture information, the central processing unit module is configured to directly exit a terminal application setting.

5. The device of claim 4, wherein the cancel gesture information is generated based on a sliding-path “

X”

symbol drawn by a user on a screen communicatively coupled to the gesture input module of the device.

6. The device of claim 1, wherein the gesture input module is a touch input module.
