First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of recognizing a gesture, comprising:
- receiving, by a hardware processor, an image generated by a camera;
comparing, by the hardware processor, the image generated by the camera to images of recognized gestures;
determining, by the hardware processor, that the image generated by the camera matches an image of a recognized gesture of the images of the recognized gestures; and
identifying, by the hardware processor, an operation of a controller that is electronically associated with the image of the recognized gesture.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and products recognize a gesture to control a device or appliance. A camera generates an image of a user performing the gesture. An image comparison is then performed between the image to images of recognized gestures. When the image matches a recognized gesture, a corresponding controller operation is performed.
