DEVICE AND METHOD FOR RECOGNIZING GESTURE BASED ON DIRECTION OF GESTURE
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A device for recognizing a gesture based on a direction of movement of an object, the device comprising:
- a memory configured to store previous directional information that indicates a first direction of movement of the object;
a sensor configured to sense the movement of the object and output sensor data that indicates the movement of the object; and
a processor configured to determine current directional information that indicates a second direction of movement of the object based on the sensor data, and to recognize the gesture based on the first direction of movement of the object indicated by the previous directional information stored in the memory and the second direction of movement of the object indicated by the current directional information.

8. A method of recognizing a gesture based on a direction of movement of an object, the method comprising:
-
sensing the movement of the object and generating sensor data that indicates the movement of the object; determining current directional information that indicates a current direction of movement of the object based on the sensor data; obtaining previous directional information that indicates a previous direction of movement of the object; and recognizing the gesture based on the current direction of movement of the object indicated by the current directional information and the previous direction of movement of the object indicated by the previous directional information. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A motion recognition device comprising:
-
a memory configured to store a direction sequence estimator that indicates a sequence of movement directions of a gesture; a sensor configured to sense movement of an object; and a processor configured to determine a sequence of movement directions of the object from the movement of the object sensed by the sensor, compare the sequence of movement directions of the object to the to the sequence of movement directions of the gesture pattern, and determine whether the sequence of movement directions of the object corresponds to the sequence of movement directions of the gesture pattern. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
