Abstract:
1. An input user interface device comprising: an electronic camera which captures an image including an object image; a shape detection unit which detects a shape of the object image in the image captured by the electronic camera; a determination unit which determines whether a single shape of the object image detected by the shape detection unit corresponds to a shape associated with a gesture command or a shape associated with a position designation command for designating a position; a position detection unit which detects a position of the object image in each of a plurality of frames of the image captured by the electronic camera; a gesture detection unit which detects a gesture of the object image in the image based on sequentially detected positions of the object image in the plurality of frames detected by the position detection unit; and a controller which decides whether a single input corresponds to (i) the gesture command, based on the determination by the determination unit with respect to the single shape, data obtained via the position detection unit, and data obtained via the gesture detection unit, or (ii) the position designation command, based on the determination by the determination unit with respect to the single shape, wherein the controller does not use the data obtained by the gesture detection unit when deciding whether the single input corresponds to the position designation command.
