Improved sensor arrangement for touchless control of a computer device, sensor system and electronic device

A sensor system for at least partial touchless control of a computer device and/or of at least one actuator, in particular for at least partial touchless control of a computer device and/or of one or more actuators of an object, the computer device and/or the at least one actuator being controllable at least partly using a keyboard, in particular for at least partial touchless control of a laptop, a tablet, a personal computer, a TV device, an info-and/or entertainment system, in particular of a car, and/or a smartphone using a keyboard

• wherein the sensor system comprises at least one sensor arrangement of configured to be arranged relative to an interaction surface, such as a surface of a keyboard, a tabletop and/or lap of a user, and such that an interaction space arranged at least partly above the interaction surface can at least partially be observed.
• wherein the sensor arrangement comprises at least a first sensor group, in particular a first sensor array, comprising at least one sensor device, the first sensor group having a first array field of view and being capable of observing a first spatial array detection area encompassing at least a part of the interaction space,
• wherein the sensor arrangement is configured such that in a functional state of use an interaction space arranged at least partly above the interaction surface can at least partially be observed, and
• wherein the sensor arrangement is further configured for capturing sensor data, in particular depth sensor data, of a movement of at least one finger, preferably of the fingertip of the at least one finger, of a user at least while the user's hands are arranged at least partially above the interaction surface,
• wherein the sensor system is configured for:
• determining, based at least partially on sensor data captured using the sensor arrangement, a movement of at least one finger, preferably of the fingertip of the at least one finger, of a user while the user's hands are arranged at least partially above the interaction surface, and generating at least one control command for at least partial control of a computer device and/or of at least one actuator in accordance with the movement of the at least one finger.

An electronic device, in particular an electronic device comprising a display screen for displaying a scene and/or comprising a keyboard or a keyboard device,

• wherein the electronic device comprises at least one sensor arrangement configured to be arranged relative to an interaction surface, such as a surface of a keyboard, a tabletop and/or lap of a user, and such that an interaction space arranged at least partly above the interaction surface can at least partially be observed,
• wherein the sensor arrangement comprises at least a first sensor group, in particular a first sensor array, comprising at least one sensor device, the first sensor group having a first array field of view and being capable of observing a first spatial array detection area encompassing at least a part of the interaction space,
• wherein the sensor arrangement is configured such that in a functional state of use an interaction space arranged at least partly above the interaction surface can at least partially be observed, and
• wherein the sensor arrangement is further configured for capturing sensor data, in particular depth sensor data, of a movement of at least one finger, preferably of the fingertip of the at least one finger, of a user at least while the user's hands are arranged at least partially above the interaction surface.
