MULTI DISPLAY DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
1. A multi display apparatus, comprising:
- a first body comprising a first display;
a second body comprising a second display;
a hinge to connect the first and second bodies to each other;
a first imaging unit provided on the first body and having a first recognition range;
a second imaging unit provided on the second body and having a second recognition range; and
a controller to recognize a user'"'"'s gesture using a plurality of images photographed at the first and second imaging units, and perform a corresponding control operation in response to the recognized user gesture, the controller recognizing the user'"'"'s gesture within an overlapping range between the first recognition range and the second recognition range, using a direction of movement of a user object moving in the first recognition range and a direction of movement of the user object moving in the second recognition range.

Abstract
A multi display apparatus includes a first body comprising a first display, a second body comprising a second display, a hinge to connect the first and second bodies to each other, a first imaging unit provided on the first body, a second imaging unit provided on the second body, and a controller to recognize a user'"'"'s gesture using a plurality of images photographed at the first and second imaging units, and perform a corresponding control operation in response to the recognized user gesture. The controller recognizes the user'"'"'s gesture using a movement of a user object within recognition ranges of the respective imaging units. As a result, the operation of the multi display apparatus can be controlled more easily and conveniently.

8. A control method of a multi display apparatus comprising a first body comprising a first display, a second body comprising a second display, and a hinge which connects the first and second bodies to each other, the control method comprising:
-
photographing a user object, using a first imaging unit provided on the first body and a second imaging unit provided on the second body; recognizing a user'"'"'s re within an overlapping range between a first recognition range of the first imaging unit and a second recognition range of the second imaging unit, using a plurality of images of the user object photographed by the first and second imaging units, respectively, to determine a direction of movement of the user object moving in the first recognition range and a direction of movement of the user object moving in the second recognition range; and performing a corresponding control operation in response to the recognized user'"'"'s gesture. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A multi display apparatus, comprising:
-
a plurality of displays; a first imaging unit having a first recognition range; a second imaging unit having a second recognition range; and a controller to determine a user gesture based on a plurality of images of a first user object captured by the first and second imaging units in a gesture recognition area where the first and second recognition ranges overlap, and to perform a command operation corresponding to the determined user gesture. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. A control method of a multi display apparatus having a plurality of displays, the method comprising:
-
capturing a plurality of images of a first user object within a first recognition range; capturing a plurality of images of the first user object within a second recognition range; determining a user gesture within a gesture recognition area where the first and second recognition ranges overlap, based on the captured images of the user object; and performing a command operation corresponding to the determined user gesture.
