  • Patent number: 9921690
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the contactless detection and recognition of gestures in a three-dimensional movement space (3D gestures), wherein in an electrical near-field which defines the three-dimensional movement space, deformations of the electrical near-field are detected which can be performed by movements of at least one object, e.g. one or two fingers in the three-dimensional movement space, at least one movement path is generated from the detected deformations of the electrical near field, which corresponds to the movement of the at least one object in the three-dimensional movement space, and wherein during the generation of the movement path in the movement path a gesture start is determined, wherein beginning with the gesture start the gesture is extracted from the movement path. The invention also relates to a system for the contactless detection and recognition of gestures in a three-dimensional movement space.

  • Publication number: 20040240644
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for remote configuration of a communication terminal and/or connection enabling the device to be connected to a communication network. A call link is set up initially between the device and a service device, whereby the adjustment of a specific feature of the communication terminal and/or the communication connection is requested by a user of the communication terminal. A corresponding function code is interactively transmitted by the service device to the device or network during said call link and the desired adjustment of said feature is carried out using said function code.
