Method for capturing and transmitting motion data

A method for capturing and transmitting motion information, comprising:

• receiving, by a first communication terminal, a digital signal, data of the digital signal comprising features derived or extracted from video sequences;
• determining context data based on the data of the digital signal by the first communication terminal;
• sending the context data by the first communication terminal together with the data from the digital signal or instead of the data from the digital signal, to a receiver, the context data describing a gesture made by the object by identifying a relative change in a relative direction of the object and a meaning of that identified relative change, the first communication terminal having a Voice-over-IP function to transmit the context data.

The method of claim 21, wherein the pre-selected data format enables the transmission of the context data to include spatial coordinates and time inputs.

A system for capturing and transmitting motion data, comprising:

• a first communication terminal configured to receive a digital signal, data of the digital signal comprising features derived or extracted from video sequences, the first communication terminal configured to determine context data based on the data of the digital signal by the first communication terminal, and the first communication terminal configured to send the context data together with the data from the digital signal or instead of the data from the digital signal to a receiver, the context data describing a gesture made by an object by identifying a relative change in a relative direction of the object and a meaning of that identified relative change, the first communication terminal having a Voice-over-IP function to transmit the context data.
