CONTROL SYSTEM FOR A GESTURE SENSING ARRANGEMENT AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A GESTURE SENSING ARRANGEMENT
First Claim
1. A control system for a gesture sensing arrangement with at least one sensor, the sensor designed to send and detect light and to generate data sets from the detected light, the control system designed tooperate the sensor in a proximity mode;
- determine a presence of an object in a predetermined vicinity of the sensor from a data set generated by the sensor while operating in the proximity mode;
when the presence of the object has been determined, operate the sensor in a gesture mode, wherein the power consumption of the sensor is lower in the proximity mode than in the gesture mode;
determine an end of a gesture, based on one or more data sets received from the sensor while operating in the gesture mode;
when the end of a gesture is determined operate the sensor in the proximity mode.

Abstract
A control system for a gesture sensing arrangement with at least one sensor operates the sensor in a proximity mode. The control system receives data sets generated by the sensor and based on these data sets determines whether an object is present in a vicinity of the sensor. When an object is detected in the vicinity the control system operates the sensor in a gesture mode. Based on further data generated by the sensor the control system determines an end of a gesture, and operates the sensor in the proximity mode.

20. A control system for a gesture sensing arrangement with at least one sensor, the control system designed to
operate the sensor in a proximity mode; -
when the presence of an object has been determined during the proximity mode, operate the sensor in a gesture mode, wherein the power consumption of the sensor is lower in the proximity mode than in the gesture mode; when an end of a gesture is determined during the gesture mode, operate the sensor in the proximity mode.
