Abstract:
1. A gesture-based remote control for controlling a device, comprising: a processing unit; an infrared emission unit; a gesture sensing unit configured to sense and identify hand gestures and output the gesture signals corresponding to the hand gestures to the processing unit; a storage unit storing a first relationship table and a second relationship table, wherein the first relationship table records gesture signals and associated function instructions, the second relationship table records the function instructions and associated infrared remote control codes; a display unit driven by the processing unit to display a user guide, the user guide indicates with illustration hand gestures and associated instructions; and an encode chip; wherein upon receiving a gesture signal, the processing unit parses the gesture signal into the corresponding function instruction according to the first relationship table, and then outputs the function instruction to the encode chip, the encode chip chooses an infrared remote control code according to the function instruction and the second relationship table and drives the infrared emission unit to emit infrared rays carrying the infrared remote control code to the device.
