Abstract
Instead of controlling a computer by means of a hardware controller (e.g., keyboard, mouse, remote control, etc.), the present application provides systems and methods for a user to control a computer by performing certain body movements or postures (herein referred to as “gestures”) that are recognized by the computer and translated into computer commands.
Claims20
A non-transitory, tangible computer-readable medium storing instructions adapted to be executed by a computer processor to perform a method for gesture-based computer control, comprising the steps of:
- receiving, by the computer processor, a video signal;
- identifying, by the computer processor, pre-defined gestures in the video signal;
- and
- generating, by the computer processor, computer commands corresponding to the pre-defined gestures in the video signal.
A computer-implemented method for gesture-based computer control, comprising the steps of:
- receiving, by a computer processor, a video signal;
- identifying, by the computer processor, pre-defined gestures in the video signal;
- and
- generating, by the computer processor, computer commands corresponding to the pre-defined gestures in the video signal.
A computer system for generating gesture-based computer commands, comprising:
- a processor configured to
- receive a video signal;
- identify pre-defined gestures in the video signal;
- and
- generate computer commands corresponding to the pre-defined gestures in the video signal.
