USER INTERFACE METHOD AND APPARATUS BASED ON SPATIAL LOCATION RECOGNITION
First Claim
1. A user interface method based on spatial location recognition, the method comprising:
- generating capturing information by capturing a target object in a three-dimensional space by an image acquirer;
calculating a location value of the target object in a virtual space divided into a plurality of zones based on the capturing information by a location calculator;
determining whether the location value of the target object is included in one of the plurality of zones by comparing the location value of the target object with a reference location database by a comparison comparator; and
generating an event execution signal for executing an event corresponding to the zone by an event signal processor, if it is determined that the location value of the target object is included in the zone,wherein the reference location database is configured to calculate location values of the target object in the virtual space repeatedly a predetermined number of times and to have a three-dimensional distribution within a predetermined standard deviation for each of the plurality of zones based on the calculated location values.
