System and method for controlling a vehicle user interface based on gesture angle
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A vehicle-based computer-implemented method for controlling a component of the vehicle, the method comprising:
- identifying a first component of the vehicle based on a first selecting input performed by the user within the vehicle;
receiving a first data signal representing a gesture performed by the user, the gesture performed in a capture region inside the vehicle;
performing gesture recognition on the first data signal to determine a first command for controlling the first identified component;
identifying a second component of the vehicle based on a second selecting input performed by the user within the vehicle, the second identified component different from the first identified component;
receiving a second data signal representing the same gesture performed by the user in the same capture region within the vehicle; and
performing gesture recognition on the second data signal to determine a second command for controlling the second identified component, the second command different from the first command.

Abstract
An in-vehicle computing system allows a user to control components of the vehicle by performing gestures. The user provides a selecting input to indicate that he wishes to control one of the components. After the component is identified, the user performs a gesture to control the component. The gesture and the component that was previously selected are analyzed to generate a command for the component. Since the command is based on both the gesture and the identified component, the user can perform the same gesture in the same position within the vehicle to control different components.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for storing computer program instructions for controlling a component of a vehicle, the program instructions when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform steps including:
-
identifying a first component of the vehicle based on a first selecting input performed by the user within the vehicle; receiving a first data signal representing a gesture performed by the user, the gesture performed in a capture region inside the vehicle; performing gesture recognition on the first data signal to determine a first command for controlling the first identified component; identifying a second component of the vehicle based on a second selecting input performed by the user within the vehicle, the second identified component different from the first identified component; receiving a second data signal representing the same gesture performed by the user in the same capture region within the vehicle; and performing gesture recognition on the second data signal to determine a second command for controlling the second identified component, the second command different from the first command. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
