Vehicle operating system using motion capture
First Claim
1. A vehicle operating system for operating a vehicle including a driving seat for a vehicle driver and at least one passenger seat for passengers, the vehicle operating system comprising:
- camera devices for capturing at least one of images of gestures of the driver and images of gestures of a passenger;
a storage device for storing operating signals corresponding to gesture actions;
a processing device configured to;
control the camera devices to capture gesture action images of the driver and passenger simultaneously or substantially simultaneously, wherein a first action image of the driver and a second action image of the passenger are captured simultaneously or substantially simultaneously,convert the captured gesture action images into corresponding operating signals according to the operating signals corresponding to the gesture actions stored in the storage device such that the first action image is converted into a first operation signal and the second action image is converted into a second operation signal;
determine the first operational signal is from a gesture by the driver and determine the second operational signal is from a gesture by the passenger, the first and second operational signals both for operating a same component of the vehicle,determine whether the first operation signal is consistent with the second operation signal, andsend out the first operational signal and second operation signal as operating signals in a preset order such that the second operation signal is sent before the first operational signal in response to the determination that first operation signal is consistent with the second operation signal; and
execution devices configured to receive the operating signals sent by the processing device, and to execute operations corresponding to the operating signals.

Abstract
Vehicle operating systems for operating a vehicle having a driving seat for a vehicle driver and at least one passenger seat for passengers are described. The vehicle operating system may include one or more camera devices for shooting images of hand actions of the driver or images of hand actions of a passenger, and a storage device for storing operating signals corresponding to hand actions. A processing device may be configured to select the driver or the passengers as a gesture command operator, and to control the camera device to shoot hand action images of the selected gesture command operator. The command system may also be configured to convert the shot hand action images into corresponding operating signals according to hand action indicia stored in the storage device. The operating signals may be sent to execution devices, that execute the corresponding operations.

15. An electric vehicle, comprising:
-
a driving seat for a vehicle driver; at least one passenger seat for passengers; and a vehicle operating system including; camera devices for capturing gesture action images of the driver and passenger simultaneously or substantially simultaneously; a storage device for storing operating signals corresponding to gesture actions; a processing device configured to; control the camera devices to capture gesture action images of the driver and passenger simultaneously or substantially simultaneously, convert the captured gesture action images into corresponding operating signals based at least in part on a comparison between the gesture action images and parameters associated with the gesture actions, determine a first operational signal is from a gesture by the driver and determine a second operational signal is from a gesture by the passenger, the first and second operational signals both for operating a same component of the vehicle, determine whether the first operation signal is consistent with the second operation signal, and send out the first operational signal and second operation signal as operating signals in a preset order such that the second operation signal is sent before the first operational signal in response to the determination that first operation signal is consistent with the second operation signal; and an execution device configured to receive the operating signals sent by the processing device, and to execute operations corresponding to the operating signals.

16. A method for operating a vehicle including a driving seat for a vehicle driver and at least one passenger seat for passengers, the method comprising:
-
storing operating signals corresponding to gesture actions; controlling the camera devices to capture gesture action images of the driver and passenger simultaneously or substantially simultaneously, wherein a first action image of the driver and a second action image of the passenger are captured simultaneously or substantially simultaneously; converting the captured gesture action images into corresponding operating signals according to the operating signals corresponding to the gesture actions stored in the storage device, such that the first action image is converted into a first operation signal and the second action image is converted into a second operation signal; determining the first operational signal is from a gesture action image for the driver and determine the second operational signal is from a gesture action image for the passenger, the first and second operational signals both for operating a same component of the vehicle; determining whether the first operation signal is consistent with the second operation signal; and send out the first operational signal and second operation signal as operating signals in a preset order such that the second operation signal is sent before the first operational signal in response to the determination that first operation signal is consistent with the second operation signal. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
