Electronic device and method for controlling camera of the electronic device according to gestures

An electronic device comprising:

• a storage unit, storing table recording the mapping relationship between a plurality of camera control gestures and a plurality of camera control commands;
• an input unit, configured for generating a signal for activating a composite mode for the electronic device in response to a user's input;
• an optical camera;
• an infrared camera;
• and
• a processor comprising:
• a mode control module, configured for controlling the electronic device to enter the composite mode in response to the signal for activating a composite mode, and controlling the electronic device to quit the composite mode and to enter a camera control mode if the gesture of the user is a camera control gesture;
• a camera control module, configured for controlling the optical camera to photograph a real-time video of a gesture of a user, and controlling the infrared camera to take a real-time color temperature image of the gesture of the user, when the electronic device is in the composite mode;
• and
• a gesture identification module, configured for identifying whether the gesture of the user is a cameral control gesture by analyzing the real-time video and the real-time color temperature image, the camera control module, configured for determining a camera control command according to the identified camera control gesture and the table, and executing the determined camera control command
