Method and system to control a non-gesture controlled device using gesture interactions with a gesture controlled device

A method of controlling a non-gesture controlled device via gesture interaction with a gesture controlled device, said method comprising:

• said gesture controlled device detecting user performed gestures;
• the gesture controlled device receiving a first gesture and determining whether the first gesture matches a first predetermined gesture indicating a desire to control a specific device;
• the gesture controlled device, responsive to a determination that the first gesture matches the first predetermined gesture and that the specific device indicated by the first gesture is the non gesture control device, sending a request to the non gesture control device for a graphical user interface (GUI);
• said gesture controlled device rendering graphical user interface (GUI) of the non-gesture controlled device for gesture interactions thereof responsive to said user performed gestures;
• and
• said gesture controlled device generating a command signal responsive to gesture interactions with said GUI, wherein said command signal is operable to be communicated to said non-gesture controlled device to control an operation of said non-gesture controlled device.

An electronic device comprising:

• a gesture recognition system comprising a camera and a gesture recognition logic unit, said gesture recognition system operable to detect recognized gestures based on user performed gesture actions;
• a display;
• a memory device;
• a processor operable to receive said recognized gestures from said gesture recognition system, said processor operable to recognize a gesture indicating a desired to control using gestures an external device and responsive to recognizing the gesture indicating a desire to control the external device, sending a request to the external device to provide a graphical user interface (GUI), the processor being further operable to display the graphical user interface pertinent from the external device and operable to allow gesture-controlled interactions with said graphical user interface based on said recognized gestures;
• and
• a transmitter, responsive to said processor, for transmitting a command for controlling said external device based on said gesture-controlled interactions.
