Control Sony Ericsson phone using hand gesture
Sweden-Japan phone manufacturer, Sony Ericsson, had filed patent application in US Patent and Trademark Office on using hand gesture to control the phone. How the phone can be controlled like that?
The idea is simple. According to patent summary, a mobile terminal may include a lens and processing logic. The lens is configured to receive a gesture made by a user of the mobile terminal and the processing logic is configured to identify the gesture and generate a command based on the identified gesture, where the command instructs the mobile terminal or an external device to perform a control action.
Additionally, when identifying the gesture, the processing logic is configured to compare the gesture to the plurality of images and identify a first one of the plurality of images as corresponding to the gesture.
The gesture may comprises a motion made in front of the lens by the user using at least one hand. When identifying the gesture, the processing logic is configured to identify a first pattern associated with the motion and when generating a command, the processing logic is configured to identify a first command as corresponding to the first pattern.
Sony Ericsson phone can be connected to DLNA enabled network and operate as a wireless remote control for other things, like your big plasma TV, video & music library on your PC, stereo system, etc. And now you can control all of this sitting on your sofa, by just waving hand.
The file is recorded on 31 May 2006. When will this great innovation being implemented?
