Abstract

An operating method and system of a customized interface system are provided. The method includes setting, by a controller, a plurality of manipulation regions in a customized input interface and mapping a first manipulation region among the plurality of manipulation regions to a first function among a plurality of functions provided from an information technology (IT) device. In addition, the controller is configured to recognize a user'"'"'s finger based on an image photographed by an imaging device and execute the first function when a position of the user'"'"'s finger corresponds to the first manipulation region.

Claims

1. An operating method of a customized interface system, comprising:

setting, by a controller, a plurality of manipulation regions in a customized input interface;

mapping, by the controller, a first manipulation region among the plurality of manipulation regions to a first function among a plurality of functions provided from an information technology (IT) device;

recognizing, by the controller, a user'"'"'s finger based on an image photographed by an imaging device; and

executing, by the controller, the first function when a position of the user'"'"'s finger corresponds to the first manipulation region.

2. The operating method of claim 1, further comprising:

mapping, by the controller, a second manipulation region among the plurality of manipulation regions to a second function among the plurality of functions provided by the IT device; and

executing, by the controller, the second function when a user'"'"'s hand gesture that corresponds to the second manipulation region is recognized.

3. The operating method of claim 1, wherein the input interface is any one selected from a group consisting of:

an image, a picture, a hand drawing, and a three-dimensional shape of specific hardware.

4. A customized interface system comprising:

an imaging device configured to photograph a customized input interface by a user; and

a controller configured to;

set a plurality of manipulation regions in the input interface;

map a first manipulation region among the plurality of manipulation regions to a first function among a plurality of function provided from an information technology (IT) device;

recognize a user'"'"'s finger based on an image photographed by the imaging device; and

execute the first function when a position of the user'"'"'s finger corresponds to the first manipulation region.

5. The customized interface system of claim 4, wherein the controller further configured to:

map a second manipulation region among the plurality of manipulation regions to a second function among the plurality of functions provided by the IT device; and

execute the second function when a user'"'"'s hand gesture that corresponds to the second manipulation region is recognized.

6. The customized interface system of claim 4, wherein the input interface is any one selected from a group consisting of:

an image, a picture, a hand drawing, and a three-dimensional shape of specific hardware.

7. A non-transitory computer readable medium containing program instructions executed by a processor or controller, the computer readable medium comprising:

program instructions that set a plurality of manipulation regions in a customized input interface;

program instructions that map a first manipulation region among the plurality of manipulation regions to a first function among a plurality of functions provided from an information technology (IT) device;

program instructions that recognize a user'"'"'s finger based on an image photographed by an imaging device; and

program instructions that execute the first function when a position of the user'"'"'s finger corresponds to the first manipulation region.

8. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 7, further comprising:

program instructions that map a second manipulation region among the plurality of manipulation regions to a second function among the plurality of functions provided by the IT device; and

program instructions that execute the second function when a user'"'"'s hand gesture that corresponds to the second manipulation region is recognized.

9. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 7, wherein the input interface is any one selected from a group consisting of:

an image, a picture, a hand drawing, and a three-dimensional shape of specific hardware.
