METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM WITH GESTURE AND/OR AUDIO COMMANDS
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for controlling aspects of a surveillance system, comprising:
- (a) receiving one or both of an operator'"'"'s skeleton input data and voice input data;
(b) matching one or both of the received skeleton input data with a gesture stored in a database and the received voice input data with a text string stored in the database, using a processor;
(c) matching one or both of the gesture and text string to a corresponding video management program command stored on the database, using the processor; and
(d) transmitting the one or more video management program commands to a video management program of a surveillance system.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method controls aspects of a surveillance system using gestures and/or voice commands, and comprises: receiving one or both of an operator'"'"'s skeleton input data and voice input data from a gesture detection camera and a microphone; using a processor, matching one or both of the received skeleton input data with a gesture stored in a database and the received voice input data with a text string stored in the database; matching one or both of the gesture and text string to a corresponding video management program command stored on the database; and transmitting the one or more video management program commands to a video management program of the surveillance system.

7. A surveillance system comprising:
-
(a) a surveillance camera; (b) one or both of a gesture capture device and a microphone; (c) a computer communicative with the surveillance camera and with one or both of the gesture capture device and the microphone, and comprising a processor, and a computer readable medium having stored thereon a video management program and an interpreting software component program, wherein the interpreting software component program comprises a database and program code executable by the processor to perform a method comprising; (i) receiving one or both of an operator'"'"'s skeleton input data from the gesture capture device and voice input data from the microphone; (ii) matching one or both of the received skeleton input data with a gesture stored in the database and the received voice input data with a text string stored in the database, using the processor; (iii) matching one or both of the gesture and text string to a corresponding video management program command stored on the database, using the processor; and (iv) transmitting the one or more video management program commands to the video management program. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
