GESTURE RECOGNITION APPARATUS AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A gesture recognition apparatus comprising:
- an imaging device configured to photograph a gesture recognition region and generate image information;
a distance sensor configured to sense a particular object that approaches a gesture start position;
a controller configured to;
enter a gesture input mode when the particular object is located at the gesture start position for a predetermined time;
recognize a gesture by detecting the particular object based on the image information; and
provide feedback that indicates whether the particular object is located at the gesture start position and feedback that indicates whether the particular object is located in the gesture recognition region in the input mode.

Abstract
A gesture recognition apparatus and method are provided. The gesture recognition apparatus includes an imaging device that is configured to photograph a gesture recognition region and generate image information and a distance sensor that is configured to sense a particular object that approaches a gesture start position. A controller is configured to enter a gesture input mode when the particular object is located at the gesture start position for a predetermined time and recognize a gesture by detecting the particular object based on the image information. Further, the controller is configured to provide feedback that indicates whether the particular object is located at the gesture start position and feedback that indicates whether the particular object is located in the gesture recognition region in the input mode.

16. 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 photograph a gesture recognition region and generate image information;
program instructions that control a distance sensor to sense a particular object that approaches a gesture start position; program instructions that enter a gesture input mode when the particular object is located at the gesture start position for a predetermined time; program instructions that recognize a gesture by detecting the particular object based on the image information; and program instructions that provide feedback that indicates whether the particular object is located at the gesture start position and feedback that indicates whether the particular object is located in the gesture recognition region in the input mode. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
