Abstract
Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for inputting events. An embodiment of the present invention can generate left and right click events in addition to activating and stopping pointers by sensing a rolling of a wrist and calculate and output a coordinate displacement according to the motion of the hand at the time of activating the pointers according to the events. Further, the embodiment of the present invention can be applied to a large-sized display or a contactless spatial input apparatus of an HMD, entertainment such as games, and the like, and can overcome restricted environments by a gesture input scheme under special environment.
Claims11
An apparatus for inputting information based on events, comprising:
- an inertial sensor unit configured to sense a rolling of a wrist and a motion of a hand;
- an event determination unit configured to determine the events through the rolling of the wrist sensed by the inertial sensor unit;
- a coordinate calculation unit configured to calculate a moving displacement for the motion of the hand sensed by the inertial sensor unit;
- and
- a control unit configured to transmit control commands corresponding to the events and transmit coordinate values for the moving displacement input from the coordinate calculation unit, when the event determination unit determines the rolling of the wrist as the events.
A method for inputting information based on events, comprising:
- sensing a rolling of a wrist and a motion of a hand;
- determining event generation based on the rolling of the wrist;
- calculating a moving displacement by the motion of the hand;
- and
- outputting control commands corresponding to the events and outputting coordinate values for the moving displacement according to the events, when the event generation is determined and thus, the events are generated.
