Benefits of technology

Enables efficient and comfortable communication by eliminating the need for a remote or batteries, allowing users to navigate and execute commands through intuitive hand gestures, enhancing usability and reliability.

Problems solved by technology

Currently, the systems in place are cumbersome to their users in that the remote may be lost easily, which makes the system unusable.
Further, the systems take several steps with a time-consuming interface in order for the user to communicate, and typing in letters on a QWERTY keypad on a small device can be painful for some users.
Remotes in this field also only possess the capability to execute a certain set of commands, and cannot be programmed for new commands or capabilities by the user, and require an independent energy source such as batteries.
In these cases, the user is inconvenienced and encumbered in such a way as to make communication take more time and energy from the user of the system.
Communication can be time-sensitive and being required to use a system which may be disabled due to loss of a remote or lack of batteries, or which causes discomfort from small keypads, can hinder communication.

Abstract

A system comprising a web-enabled video camera, at least one microphone, a remote server, and a command processing unit, which allow users to communicate remotely with video and audio. The system further is controlled by either gestures from a user, or a remote control, and can have gestures customized by the user for specific inputs. The system contains a menu the user may navigate, and multiple system states which provide different functionality and recognize different gesture commands.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15 / 677,877 titled “GESTURE-BASED CONTROL AND USAGE OF VIDEO RELAY SYSTEMS”, filed on Aug. 15, 2017, which claims the benefit of, and priority to, U.S. provisional patent application Ser.
