Method and device for adjusting the control-display gain of a gesture controlled electronic device

A gesture-controlled device comprising:

• a processor device;
• and
• a memory storing machine-executable instructions thereon which, when executed by the processing device, cause the gesture-controlled device to:
• processing a frame to detect a location and shape of a hand in the frame;
• generating gesture data for the frame based on the location and shape of the hand;
• determining that the hand is performing a dragging hand gesture based on gesture data for the frame and gesture data for one or more previous frames;
• identify a property of a hand of a user of the gesture-controlled device performing the dragging hand gesture;
• and
• adjust a control-display gain for the gesture-controlled device to a control-display gain determined based on the identified property.

A processor-readable medium having machine-executable instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor of a gesture-controlled device, cause the processor device to:

• process a frame to detect a location and shape of a hand mid-air hand gesture in the frame;
• generate gesture data for the frame based on the location and shape of the hand;
• determine that the mid-air hand is performing hand gesture is a dragging hand gesture based on gesture data for the frame and gesture data for one or more previous frames;
• identify a property of a hand of a user of the gesture-controlled device performing the dragging hand gesture;
• and
• adjust a control-display gain for the gesture-controlled device to a control-display gain determined based on the identified property.
