  • Method for operating a mobile terminal using a gesture recognition and control device, gesture recognition and control device, motor vehicle, and an output apparatus that can be worn on the head
    Patent number: 12008168
    Abstract: A gesture recognition and control device recognizes a mobile terminal and ascertains a current graphical user interface generated by a display device of the mobile terminal. The gesture recognition and control device provides an output signal describing, as display content, the graphical user interface generated by the display device of the mobile terminal, and transmits the output signal to an output apparatus that can be worn on the head for outputting the display content in a predefined output region in the interior of the motor vehicle as part of augmented reality or virtual reality output by the output apparatus. During the process of outputting the display content, the gesture recognition and control device recognizes a spatial gesture of the user, generates a remote control signal for triggering an operating function of the mobile terminal, and transmits the remote control signal to a control device of the recognized mobile terminal.
