1. A remote control device for controlling a mechanism to be controlled with the aid of at least one of a movement pattern and a distance pattern of at least one moved object, comprising:
- a camera module to receive a stereo image and to detect the moved object;
an image evaluation module, which has a signal connection to the camera module, the image evaluation module comprising;
a movement evaluation sub-module, which determines movement values with respect to the detected object from detected camera signal data; and
a distance evaluation sub-module, which determines distance values with respect to the detected object from the detected camera signal data,a control and communication module, which has a signal connection to the image evaluation module and, at least one of depending on the determined movement values and depending on the determined distance values, generates at least one mechanism control signal and sends it to the mechanism to be controlled,a raw signature memory module, in which movement parameter sets of at least one of assigned movement values and distance values and control signals assigned to these sets are stored in a table, anda comparator module, in which actual movement parameters, which are detected with the camera module and the image evaluation module, are compared with desired movement parameters from the stored raw signature memory module,wherein the control and communication module, with adequate agreement between the actual movement parameter and one of the desired movement parameters, sends the assigned control signal to the mechanism to be controlled; and
wherein the image evaluation module performs a characterization of movement or distance patterns by a temporal accumulation of given movement, speed or distance values of point clouds detected by the camera module.

Abstract
A remote control device is used to control a mechanism with the aid of a movement pattern and/or a distance pattern of at least one moved object. The remote control device has a camera module to receive a stereo image and to detect the moved object. An image evaluation module has a movement evaluation sub-module and a distance evaluation sub-module. A control and communication module of the remote control device, depending on the movement or distance values determined, generates at least one mechanism control signal and sends it to the mechanism to be controlled. An interface module has a data memory, a comparator sub-module and a communication sub-module. The latter, with adequate agreement between the respective actual parameter and one of the desired movement parameters, sends the control signal assigned in the table to the module of the remote control device or to the mechanism.

13. An interface module for communication one of between the modules of a remote control device and between at least one of the modules of the remote control device and an external mechanism, the remote control device being configured and operable to control a mechanism to be controlled with the aid of at least one of a movement pattern and a distance pattern of at least one moved object, the remote control device comprising:
-
a camera module to receive a stereo image and to detect the moved object; an image evaluation module, which has a signal connection to the camera module, the image evaluation module comprising; a movement evaluation sub-module, which determines movement values with respect to the detected object from detected camera signal data; and a distance evaluation sub-module, which determines distance values with respect to the detected object from the detected camera signal data, a control and communication module, which has a signal connection to the image evaluation module and, at least one of depending on the determined movement values and depending on the determined distance values, generates at least one mechanism control signal and sends it to the mechanism to be controlled, wherein the image evaluation module performs a characterization of movement or distance patterns by a temporal accumulation of given movement, speed or distance values of point clouds detected by the camera module, the interface module comprising; a data memory, in which movement parameter sets of at least one of assigned movement values and distance values and control signals assigned to these sets are stored in a table, a comparator sub-module, in which actual movement parameters, which are fed to the interface module, are compared with desired movement parameters from the movement parameter sets stored in the data memory, and a communication sub-module, which, with adequate agreement between the respective actual movement parameter and one of the desired movement parameters sends the control signal assigned in the table to one of the module of the remote control device and to the external mechanism.
