Embodiment Construction

[0050] Now, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0051] figure 1 The functional structure of the information input device 100 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown. figure 1 The information input device 100 shown in includes an observation unit 101 , a learning unit 102 , a state estimation unit 103 , a user identification unit 104 and a device control unit 105 . In an environment where there is a user and one or more devices 106 to be controlled by the user, the information input device 100 is capable of remotely operating the device 106 that the user desires to control.

[0052] The observation unit 101 observes an environment including a user and one or more devices to be controlled, and outputs observation data to the learning unit 102 .

[0053] The learning unit 102 separates a foreground including a user and a desired device to be controlled from a backgr...

Abstract

An information input apparatus includes an observation unit that observes an environment including a user and one or more apparatuses to be controlled and includes a sensor; a learning unit that separates a foreground including the user and the one or more apparatuses to be controlled and a background including the environment except for the foreground from observation data obtained by the observation unit and learns three-dimensional models of the foreground and the background; a state estimation unit that estimates positions and postures of already modeled foregrounds in the environment; a user recognition unit that identifies fingers of the user from the foreground and recognizes a shape, position, and posture of the fingers; and an apparatus control unit that outputs a control command to the one or more apparatuses to be controlled on the basis of the recognized shape, position, and posture of the fingers.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to an information input device, an information input method, and a computer program for inputting a control command issued by a user to a device to be controlled. In particular, the present disclosure relates to an information input device, an information input method, and a computer program for inputting a control command issued by a user such as a gesture. Background technique [0002] In the environment in which people live, there are various types of products such as home appliances and information devices that are controlled by users. Technologies already exist that are configured to remotely control these types of devices using devices such as laser pointers or remote controls. [0003] For example, a remote location notification system (for example, see Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2008-224584) and a pointing system (for example, see Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. ...
