Abstract:
1. A gesture input device that controls a control device on the basis of a gesture action of a user, comprising: a gesture detecting unit that detects a gesture from an image picked up by a camera; a first gesture determining unit that determines that the gesture detected by the gesture detecting unit includes a first gesture; a second gesture determining unit that determines that the gesture detected by the gesture detecting unit includes a second gesture; a control signal generating unit that sets a period in which the first gesture determining unit determines that the gesture includes the first gesture as a second gesture valid period in which recognition of the second gesture is valid and generates a control signal on the basis of the second gesture when the second gesture determining unit determines that the gesture includes the second gesture in the second gesture valid period; and a transmitting unit that transmits the control signal generated by the control signal generating unit to the control device.
