Abstract

A user interface system has an input device for collecting gesture inputs of a user, a computing device for processing the gesture inputs collected by the input device, a memory for storing a set of executive gestures for executing various functions, and an output device for displaying information processed by the computing device, wherein each executive gesture is defined as an executive input for each function, so that, when a gesture input performed by the user corresponds to an executive gesture, a function corresponding thereto is executed, and wherein the executive gestures are capable of being changed and stored by the user.

Claims

1. A user interface system, comprising:

an input device for collecting a gesture inputs of a user;

a computing device for processing the gesture inputs collected by the input device;

a memory for storing a set of executive gestures for executing various functions; and

an output device for displaying information processed by the computing device,

wherein each executive gesture is defined as an executive input for each function, so that, when the gesture input performed by the user corresponds to an executive gesture, the function corresponding thereto is executed, and

wherein the executive gestures are capable of being changed and stored by the user.

2. The user interface system according to claim 1,

wherein a function is suggested to the user and selected by the user, and

wherein the executive gesture for executing the selected function is changed and stored.

3. The user interface system according to claim 2,

wherein a new executive gesture for executing the selected function is provided by a direct demonstration of the user, and

wherein the executive gesture is changed by using a gesture directly demonstrated by the user.

4. The user interface system according to claim 2,

wherein a new executive gesture for executing the function selected by the user is generated and recommended to the user.

5. The user interface system according to claim 4,

wherein the new executive gesture is generated by using executive gestures for executing functions similar to the function selectable by the user.

6. The user interface system according to claim 4,

wherein the new executive gesture is generated in consideration of the similarities with executive gestures other than the function selected by the user.

7. A user interface implementing method of a user interface system, which includes:

an input device for collecting gesture inputs of a user;

a computing device for processing the gesture inputs collected by the input device;

a memory for storing a set of executive gestures for executing various functions; and

an output device for displaying information processed by the computing device,

wherein each executive gesture is defined as an executive input for each function, so that, when the gesture input performed by the user corresponds to an executive gesture, the function corresponding thereto is executed,

wherein the user interface implementing method comprises;

determining whether an request for changing an executive gesture is present by the user;

suggesting a selectable function to the user when the request for changing the executive gesture request is present; and

changing and storing an executive gesture for executing a function selected by the user.

8. The user interface implementing method according to claim 7, further comprising:

inquiring the user whether or not to desire recommendation of an available executive gesture, when a function of changing an executive gesture is selected by the user.

9. The user interface implementing method according to claim 8, further comprising:

giving an opportunity to input an executive gesture for executing the function selected by the user, when a recommendation denying input for the available executive gesture is input; and

defining a gesture directly demonstrated by the user as an executive gesture for executing the function selected by the user.

10. The user interface implementing method according to claim 8, further comprising:

generating a new executive gesture for executing the function selected by the user and recommending the new executive gesture to the user, when a recommendation requesting input for the available executive gesture is input.
