  • Publication number: 20220319520
    Abstract: An interaction method triggered by a mouth-covering gesture and an intelligent electronic device are provided. The interaction method is applied to an intelligent electronic device arranged with a sensor. The intelligent electronic device includes a sensor system for capturing a signal of a user putting one hand on a mouth to make a mouth-covering gesture. The interaction method includes: processing the signal to determine whether the user puts the hand on the mouth to make the mouth-covering gesture; and in a case that the user puts the hand on the mouth to make the mouth-covering gesture, determining a mouth-covering gesture input mode as an input mode for controlling an interaction to trigger a control command or trigger another input mode, by executing a program on the intelligent electronic device.

  • Patent number: 8269842
    Abstract: A system and method for using images captured from a digital camera to control navigation through a three-dimensional user interface. The sequence of images may be examined to identify feature points to be tracked through successive frames of the images captured by the camera. A plurality of classifiers may be used to discern shift from rotation gestures, based on expected behavior of feature points in the image when the camera is shifted or rotated in position. The various classifiers may generate voting values for shift and rotation gestures, and the system can use historical gesture information to assist in categorizing a current gesture.
