10. A multimedia device for recognizing a user gesture, the multimedia device comprising:
-
an image sensing unit configured to capture a peripheral image; an image recognition unit configured to analyze the peripheral image captured by the image sensing unit and to recognize a first object contained in the captured image and a gesture made using the first object; a storage unit configured to store mapping data between the gesture made using the first object and a multimedia device operation; and a controller configured to search for the mapping data of the first object recognized by the image recognition unit in the storage unit, to load the mapping data, and to enter into a gesture input standby mode for receiving another gesture. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)
