Abstract
An apparatus is configured to efficiently recognize a gesture by interworking with an infotainment system. The apparatus obtains information about the gesture of a user, is connected with the infotainment system of a vehicle to identify a state of the infotainment system, branches a gesture allowed in recognition, based on the state of the infotainment system, and performs gesture recognition, based on the information about the sensed gesture and a result of branching the gesture allowed in recognition. The apparatus addresses overload and reliability degradation problems according to continuous image recognition.
Claims20
An apparatus for recognizing a gesture in a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
- a sensor device provided in the vehicle to obtain information about the gesture of a user;
- and
- a processor configured to be connected with an infotainment system of the vehicle to identify a state of the infotainment system, branch a gesture allowed in recognition, based on the state of the infotainment system, and perform gesture recognition, based on the information about the gesture sensed by the sensor device and a result of branching the gesture allowed in recognition.
A method for recognizing a gesture in a vehicle, the method comprising:
- obtaining, by a sensor device provided the vehicle, information about a gesture of a user;
- being, by a processor, connected with an infotainment system of the vehicle to identify a state of the infotainment system;
- branching, by the processor, a gesture allowed in recognition, based on the state of the infotainment system;
- and
- performing, by the processor, gesture recognition, based on the information about the gesture sensed by the sensor device and a result of branching the gesture allowed in recognition.
