Problems solved by technology

In addition, the technology of Patent Document 2 also provides the suggestion of only notifying the operator of the feedback action of the action command decided.
[0012] However, under the condition that there is no display showing the state of the gesture input in the present situation, and the operator has to perform the gesture in the air from beginning to end without visually recognizable feedback, it is difficult for the gesture action in the air , especially gesture recognition is error-prone
In addition, the limitations of the sensors that detect gestures can cause errors in gesture recognition
As these limitations, for example, there are limited field of view, limited detection range and detection distance, distortion of the detection signal in the air medium and noise
Gesture recognition errors become a cause of system instability and operator inconvenience

no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0059] figure 1 is a schematic block diagram of an exemplary input device 100 . refer to figure 1 The input device 100 will be described.

[0060] The input device 100 includes a sensor 200 , a processing unit 300 , and a plurality of operating devices 400 . The operator makes a gesture with his hand, for example, in front of the sensor 200 . The sensor 200 detects the motion of the hand, and generates movement data representing the motion of the hand. In this embodiment, an operator's hand is exemplified as a body part. Alternatively, the sensor 200 can also detect movements of other body parts of the operator.

[0061] Movement data is transmitted from the sensor 200 to the processing unit 300 . The movement data may also be image data representing movement of the hand. Instead, other types of data representing the movement of the operator's body parts may also be utilized as movement data. If the image data is utilized as movement data, the sensor 200 may also be a ...

no. 2 Embodiment approach

[0076] Sensors that capture movement data of the operator's body parts may also be shared by the input device and other systems. In the second embodiment, the input device utilizes a sensor that is a part of a home control system for controlling various home appliances.

[0077] image 3 is a schematic block diagram showing another exemplary hardware configuration of the input device 100 . refer to figure 1 as well as image 3 The hardware configuration of the input device 100 will be described. figure 2 as well as image 3 The symbols used in common in the above mean that elements given the same symbols have the same functions as those of the first embodiment. Therefore, the description of the first embodiment is used for these elements.

[0078] Like the first embodiment, the input device 100 includes a sensor 200 , a processing unit 300 , a display device 420 , an execution device 410 , an editing device 510 , and a portable recording medium 520 . The input device 1...

no. 3 Embodiment approach

[0081] Figure 4 is an exemplary functional block diagram of the input device 100 . The functional block diagram is designed based on the technical concepts described in connection with the first embodiment. refer to figure 1 , figure 2 as well as Figure 4 The function of the input device 100 will be described in association with the third embodiment.

[0082] The input device 100 includes a motion detection unit 210 , a gesture recognition module 311 , a command determination module 312 , a speed acquisition module 313 , a feedback determination module 314 , a motion command execution unit 411 and a feedback motion execution unit 421 . The motion detection unit 210 detects the movement of the body part of the operator. Thereafter, the motion detection unit 210 generates image data representing the movement of the body part as movement data. The motion detection unit 210 corresponds to the sensor 200 described in connection with the first embodiment.

Abstract

The present application discloses an input device, comprising: a sensor which detects a movement of a part of the body of an operator and generates movement data relating to the movement of the body part; a processing unit, further comprising an operation command generating unit which generates an operation command from the movement data, a speed data generating unit which generates speed data which represents the speed of the movement from the movement data, and a feedback determination unit which determines on the basis of the speed data whether a feedback operation for allowing the operator to verify the operation command is necessary; and an operation unit, further comprising a feedback operation device which executes the feedback operation if the feedback determination unit determines that the feedback operation is necessary.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an input device and a method for inputting action requirements. Background technique [0002] Various techniques for inputting action requests to various devices currently exist. The device operates based on the action request. [0003] The operator sometimes operates the input knob in a tactile manner to input an action request to the device. For example, an operator turns a knob on a radio to adjust the volume. [0004] The operator also sometimes operates a remote control to wirelessly control the device. For example, an operator uses a remote controller to input a desired television program into the television apparatus. [0005] An operator may input an operation request to the device using a mechanical computer mouse, an optical computer mouse, or a mouse device including other pointing devices such as a pen and a stylus. For example, an operator uses an optical computer mouse to select a "save" button on a computer ...
