[0045]

[0022] While embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated and described, it will be clear that the invention is not limited to these embodiments only. Numerous modifications, changes, variations, substitutions, and equivalents will be apparent to those skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, as described in the claim.

[0023] The present invention provides a system and a method for facilitating gesture- based control for a device. The system comprises a wearable device for capturing various hand gestures, and an application module in communication with the processing unit within the smart device or the loT device. The wearable device is configured to communicate with the smart device / IoT device by means of radio frequency signals via a transceiver which are further converted into the appropriate control signals for navigating through various operations.

[0046]

[0024] In an embodiment of the present invention, the wearable device incorporates a motion sensing unit containing various sensors coupled to a processor. The motion sensor unit includes any one of the sensors accelerometer, magnetometers and gyroscope or in combination configured to capture the hand gestures of a user. The motion sensing unit is configured to measure and deliver the observed data related to acceleration, orientation, angular rates, and other values associated with the hand gesture.

[0047]

[0025] The wearable device is incorporated with a communication module that facilitates communication between with the smart device or the loT device through radio signals. The communication module includes a wireless module capable of facilitating communication between the wearable device and the smart device / IoT device via near field communication, but not limited thereto.

[0048]

[0026] In an embodiment of the present invention, the communication module includes a BLE module that enables the communication between the wearable device and the smart device by using Bluetooth communication protocols.

[0049]

[0027] In an embodiment of the present invention, the communication module includes transceiver that is designed to prioritize the connectivity to automatically connect and disconnect from the devices transmitting the stronger signals.

[0050]

[0028] In an embodiment of the present invention, the processor is configured to receive the observed data from the motion sensors, process them and calculate maximum and minimum angles for pitch, roll, and yaw using gyroscope readings.

[0029] The wearable device is configured to be in communication with the smart device / IoT device that is configured to transfer the real-time captured data to the application module. The application module comprises a database stored with a look up table containing a plurality of feature data corresponding to variety of gestures. Each of these features are corresponding to specific command for the smart device / IoT device. This includes a finite number of gestures sufficient for operating the device.

[0051]

[0030] In a specific implementation of an embodiment, 48 different gestures are used for operating a device such as a smart phone. The command signals are communicated through use of various gestures and the application module interprets the associated action commands for the smart device. The limited number of gestures, where each of the gesture is corresponding to multiple actions. The actions to be performed are context sensitive and can operate in a multitude of usage modes. Therefore, the same set of gestures could perform different actions based on the operation mode selected. The system also supports additional operating modes added by the user, if desired.

[0052]

[0031] For example, in one embodiment, a gesture is used to open a smartphone application on the phone screen, and in a second mode the same gesture is used to play a song or change the volume level, if a music application is active. For loT applications, the same gesture can be used for turning ON the lights and the fans. This provides an added advantage in that a single wearable device can operate disparate intelligent client devices simultaneously simply by the user switching to the desired mode.

[0053]

[0032] In an implementation of an embodiment, the look up table containing the finite number of gestures are customisable by the user. This improves the accuracy of communication and ease of use. The application module is configured to interact with the user via the display interface of the smart device and provide a list of actions for the client device that the user can choose from. This may replace the previously assigned action.

[0033] In the embodiment, the accuracy and consistency of gesture detection is maintained for varying individual users, by allowing modification of the angle and duration of each gesture using an image capturing device-based application included within the application module. Thus, the wearable device can read the best default angle and duration of each gesture.

[0054]

[0034] The application module includes an intelligent terminal module that receives the real-time gesture information from the phone’s onboard camera and extracts the gesture feature data therefrom. The gesture feature extracted include a composite numerical value from the detected range of values. This calculated composite numerical value is further mapped to the real-time obtained gesture feature data with the look up table containing a plurality of gesture feature data in a library file.

The circuit includes a microcontroller (5) and a set of sensors (7) together forms motion sensing unit, and a power control unit embedded on a printed circuit board (PCB) ( 1 ) . The power control unit is configured to manage battery (12) and charging thereof. The communication module transmits the realtime data captured by the motion sensing unit to the smart device. The wearable device collects data through the motion sensing unit, and communicates the movement in the form of a gesture code with the proprietary software application installed in the target device such as the smart device / IOT device. In the implementation, the hand gesture acts a bridge between the user and the smart device. The gesture performed by the user prompts the application module to perform a specific function either pre-assigned in the software or overridden by the user according to the requirements.

[0036] In an implementation of the present invention, a Bluetooth (BLE) API is incorporated with the communication module that facilitates the data transfer from the wearable device to the BLE enabled smart device application in the form of digital data stream of Bytes.

[0056]

[0037] In an embodiment of the present invention, the wearable device includes a switch button (10) for setting multiple operation modes and also supports the hand gesture based mode selection.

[0058]

[0040] In another aspect of the present invention, a method for facilitating gesturebased UI control for smart devices is presented in accordance with an implementation of an embodiment of the present invention. The method starts with setting up the connectivity between the wearable device and the application module in the smart device / IoT device. An intelligent terminal of the application module receives user’s data from a central control module. Meanwhile, the wearable device triggers the motion sensing unit and reads the motion till the sensor stopped obtaining user's gesture data. The intelligent terminal module further receives the real-time gesture data from the wearable device and extracts the gesture feature data of described user's gesture data. The application module maps the real-time gesture data code with the look up table stored in the library file. This includes one to one mapping of the gesture feature with the described gesture feature data in library file. The intelligent terminal judges that whether described gesture feature data is consistent with the gesture feature data in library file and obtains the gesture title corresponding with described gesture feature data. This gesture data then converted into the gesture instruction corresponding with described gesture feature data. If the described gesture feature data is inconsistent with the gesture feature data in library file, the module sends an incorrect prompting of gesture and returns to the earlier step.

[0059]

[0041] The connectivity between the wearable device and the smart devices happens through the steps: initiating smart device / IoT device by intelligent terminal module and scans to obtain the wearable device in vicinity; sending a request by the intelligent terminal module to connect with loT device / smart device application module receives response therefrom; establishes the connectivity with the loT device / wearable device if the request match with connectivity requests.
