Abstract

The invention provides a gesture control technique for use with a displayed virtual keyboard. A gesture control technique includes receiving data indicating one or more of a presence, location, position, motion, and direction of a user finger or the like from a location interface, such as a camera, touch pad, gyroscope or the like. A graphical user interface including a virtual keyboard is displayed on a display. The presence, location, position, motion and direction data compared to a view space location of the virtual keyboard on the display to determine if the presence, location, position, motion and direction data is associated with location on the virtual keyboard. The presence, location, position, motion and direction data are displayed overlaid on the virtual keyboard, if the presence, location, position, motion and direction data is associated with the virtual keyboard. In addition, one or more gestures are determined from one or more sets of presence, location, position, motion and direction data. Furthermore, one or more alphanumeric or control inputs of the virtual keyboard are determined from the one or more gestures.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to gesture control technology for use with a displayed virtual keyboard. Background technique [0002] Electronic systems have made significant contributions to the advancement of modern society and are utilized in a myriad of applications to achieve beneficial results. In most areas of entertainment, education, business and science, the proliferation of devices such as computers, televisions, smart phones, etc. has driven an increase in content consumption, a reduction in the cost of delivering content, and the like. Electronic devices are increasingly receiving content from more and more sources. For example, televisions are currently adapted to receive content from broadcast, cable, satellite, Internet, etc. sources. [0003] One common aspect of electronic systems is the user interface. Most electronic systems include one or more user interfaces such as control panels, remote controls, keyboards and / or pointing devi...
