1. A method for the contactless detection and recognition of gestures in a three-dimensional movement space, the method comprising the steps of:
- moving an object in a three-dimensional movement spaced defined in a electrical near-field,detecting deformations of the electrical near-field caused by the movements of the object in the three-dimensional movement space,generating from the detected deformations of the electrical near-field at least one movement path corresponding to the movement of the object in the three-dimensional movement space,during the generation of the movement path in the movement path determining a gesture start, andbeginning with the gesture start extracting the gesture from the movement path.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method for the contactless detection and recognition of gestures in a three-dimensional movement space (3D gestures), wherein
- in an electrical near-field which defines the three-dimensional movement space, deformations of the electrical near-field are detected which can be performed by movements of at least one object, e.g. one or two fingers in the three-dimensional movement space,
- at least one movement path is generated from the detected deformations of the electrical near field, which corresponds to the movement of the at least one object in the three-dimensional movement space, and
- wherein during the generation of the movement path in the movement path a gesture start is determined, wherein beginning with the gesture start the gesture is extracted from the movement path.
The invention also relates to a system for the contactless detection and recognition of gestures in a three-dimensional movement space.
