Method of Temporal Segmentation of an Instrumented Gesture, Associated Device and Terminal
First Claim
1. A method of temporal segmentation of an instrumented gesture in the course of execution by a user with the aid of a terminal equipped with an inertial navigation module, able to measure, during the execution of the gesture, a vector of inertial characteristics {right arrow over (V)} representative of a movement of said terminal, wherein said method comprises the following steps, implemented at each current instant (tn):
- calculation of an instantaneous power value (P(tn)) of said vector {right arrow over ((V)}(tn)) at the current instant;
estimation of a gesture indicator (I(tn)) on the basis of a variation between said instantaneous power value and a mean power value estimated over a time window (F[t0,tn]) preceding the current instant;
determination of a first instant (tn1), termed start of gesture, corresponding to the current instant, when the estimated gesture indicator takes a value greater than or equal to a first predetermined threshold during a time interval greater than or equal to a first predetermined interval;
subsequent to the detection of a start of gesture at the first current instant (tn1), determination of a second instant (tn2), termed end of gesture when, at the current instant, the estimated gesture indicator takes a value less than or equal to a second predetermined threshold during a time interval greater than or equal to a second predetermined time interval.

Abstract
Temporally segmenting an instrumented gesture executed by a user with a terminal having an inertial navigation module, which measures a vector of inertial characteristics representative of movement of the terminal. Segmenting includes, at each current instant: calculating an instantaneous power value of the vector; estimating a gesture indicator based on variation between the instantaneous power value and a mean power value estimated over a preceding time window; determining a start of gesture at a first instant, when the estimated gesture indicator is greater than or equal to a first threshold during a time interval greater than or equal to a first interval; and determining an end of gesture at a second instant when, at the current instant, the estimated gesture indicator is less than or equal to a second threshold during a time interval greater than or equal to a second time interval.
