Patent Images
1. A method to adjust a gesture input dynamic range of a gesture recognition in an apparatus, the method comprising:
- detecting an environment of the apparatus;
identifying, based on at least a detected number of people in a background of a user and a noise level, the environment as one of a private environment and a public environment;
adjusting, based on the environment of the apparatus, the gesture input dynamic range for the apparatus;
displaying a recognition control user interface (UI) of the apparatus;
adjusting the recognition control UI of the apparatus by modifying one or more control elements of the recognition control UI of the apparatus, wherein adjusting the recognition control UI is based on one or more of;
the environment, a size of the apparatus, and a type of the apparatus, wherein modifying the one or more control elements of the recognition control UI of the apparatus includes modifying a position of the one or more control elements, wherein the one or more control elements indicates the gesture input dynamic range, and wherein modifying the position of the one or more control elements comprises;
positioning the one or more control elements wider apart from each other, in response to the user being in the private environment or the size of the apparatus being large, andpositioning the one or more control elements closer to each other, in response to the user being in the public environment or the size of the apparatus being small;
determining whether the recognition control UI is displayed on a display screen of the apparatus;
in response to a determination that the recognition control UI is absent on the display screen of the apparatus, displaying one or more display elements to indicate the adjusted gesture input dynamic range; and
capturing an input through a gesture input.

Abstract
Technologies are generally described for environment-dependent dynamic range control for gesture recognition. In some examples, user environment including, but not limited to, location, device size, virtual or physical display size, is detected and gesture control range adjusted according to the detected environment. In other examples, a controller user interface or dynamic range status indicator may be adjusted based on the modified gesture recognition range control.

9. An apparatus to adjust a gesture input dynamic range of a gesture recognition, the apparatus comprising:
-
a display device that includes a touch screen and that is configured to detect a touch input; an image capture device coupled to the display device; and a processor coupled to the display device and the image capture device, the processor configured to perform or control performance of operations to; detect an environment of the apparatus while in operation; identify, based on at least a detected number of people in a background of a user and a noise level, the environment as one of a private environment and a public environment; adjust, based on the environment, the gesture input dynamic range for the apparatus; display a recognition control user interface (UI) of the apparatus; adjust the recognition control UI of the apparatus by modification of a position of one or more control elements of the recognition control UI, wherein the adjustment of the recognition control UI is based on one or more of;
the environment, a size of the apparatus, and a type of the apparatus, wherein the one or more control elements indicate the gesture input dynamic range, and wherein the modification of the position of the one or more control elements comprises;position the one or more control elements wider apart from each other, in response to the user being in the private environment or the size of the apparatus being large, and position the one or more control elements closer to each other, in response to the user being in the public environment or the size of the apparatus being small; determine whether the recognition control UI is displayed on the touch screen of the apparatus; in response to a determination that the recognition control UI being absent on the touch screen of the apparatus, instruct the display device that includes the touch screen to display one or more display elements to indicate the adjusted gesture input dynamic range; and capture an input through a gesture input. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)
