VEHICLE HAVING GESTURE DETECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A vehicle having a gesture detection system, comprising:
- an ignition key having a first light source on a first side of the ignition key;
an imaging device disposed at one side of a vehicle body to detect the image of the first light source;
an image processor configured to process the image detected by the imaging device to detect a movement trace of the first light source; and
a controller configured to execute a vehicle function based on the shape or characteristics of the movement trace detected by the image processor.

Abstract
A vehicle having a gesture detection system and a gesture detection method of a vehicle are provided. The system includes an ignition key that has a first light source disposed on a first side of the ignition key and an imaging device that is disposed at one side of a vehicle body to detect the image of the first light source. An image processor is configured to processes the image detected by the imaging device to detect a movement trace of the first light source and a controller configured to execute a function based on the shape or characteristics of the movement trace detected by the image processor. Accordingly, the function of a vehicle is controlled by operating an ignition key through a first light source or source second light source disposed on the ignition key.

8. A gesture detection method of vehicle, comprising:
-
detecting, by a controller, an image based on a light signal generated from a first light source disposed on a first side of an ignition key; processing, by the controller, the detected image to extract image data; calculating, by the controller, trace movement of the first light source from the extracted image data; and operating, by the controller, a plurality of vehicle functions based on the shape or characteristics of the trace movement of the first light source, - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A non-transitory computer readable medium containing program instructions executed by a controller, the computer readable medium comprising:
-
program instructions that control an imaging device to detect an image based on a light signal generated from a first light source disposed on a first side of an ignition key; program instructions that process the detected image to extract image data; program instructions that calculate trace movement of the first light source from the extracted image data; and program instructions that operate a plurality of vehicle functions based on the shape or characteristics of the trace movement of the first light source. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
