CONTROL SYSTEM WITH GESTURE-BASED INPUT METHOD
First Claim
1. A control system with a gesture-based input method, comprising:
- an image capturing unit, for retrieving an input image including a gesture of a user, which includes a gesture by performing sign language, or another gesture with an auxiliary object held by the user'"'"'s hand;
an image processing unit, connected with the image capturing unit, for receiving and recognizing the gesture in the input image;
a database, recording a plurality of reference images and corresponding control commands, in which each reference image corresponds to at least one control command;
a computing unit, connected with the image processing unit and the database, comparing the reference images in the database with the gesture recognized by the image processing unit for acquiring the control command corresponding to the reference image matched up with the gesture;
wherein, the control command acquired by the control system responsive to the gesture is used to control an electronic device.

Abstract
A control system with a gesture-based input method is introduced. The system includes an image capturing unit, an image processing unit, a database, and a computing unit. The image capturing unit captures an input image with a user'"'"'s gesture. The gesture may be sign-language gesture or gesture of the user holding an object. The image processing unit, connected to the image capturing unit, is used to receive and recognize the gesture shown in the input image. The database stores a plurality of reference images and each of which indicates at least one control command. The computing unit, connected to the image processing unit and database, is used to compare the gesture recognized by the image processing unit with the reference images in the database. The comparison is used to determine a control command corresponding to the reference image. The control command is used to operate an electronic device.
