The present invention is applicable to the field of the human-machine interaction technologies, and provides a contactless gesture-based control method and apparatus. The method includes: obtaining gestures/movements of a user; obtaining control instructions corresponding to the gestures/movements according to pre-stored mapping relationships between the gestures/movements and the control instructions; and executing the control instructions, where the gestures/movements include: an index finger draws a circle, and remaining four fingers clench into a fist, where the circle is larger than a contour of a hand; or, five fingers clench together and a palm moves in a direction where a device is; or, a thumb, the index finger, and a middle finger extend naturally, the remaining two fingers clench together, and the index finger moves freely; or, the thumb, the index finger, and the middle finger extend naturally, the remaining two fingers clench together, and the thumb moves up and down; or the thumb, the index finger, and the middle finger extend naturally, the remaining two fingers clench together, and the middle finger moves up and down. The present invention can effectively overcome the following problems in the related art: too many gesture rules make it hard to learn and memorize and lead to complicated and unsmooth operations.
The present invention relates to the field of human-machine interaction technologies, and in particular, to a contactless gesture-based control method and apparatus.
Controlling a device through gestures is one of human-machine interaction technologies. Compared with the traditional graphic user interface, gesture-based control does not require a user to hold a specific input device, and, through specific hand movements, the device can be controlled or specific information can be input into the device.
Existing gesture-based control comes in two main types: tone type is based on location information of a gesture, namely, through spatial movement of a finger, movement of a relevant element on a display screen is mapped; the other type is based on posture information of a gesture, namely, various complicated gestures generated by a human hand correspond to different control commands, so as to control a device.
In prior art 1, corresponding gestures are defined for a series of operations such as select, copy, paste, move, delete and switch, for specific displayed objects (such as an icon, box, and scroll bar) on a display screen. For example, a gesture of copying a displayed object is to use one finger to click the object when the object is selected; a gesture of pasting a displayed object is to use one finger to perform double-clicking quickly.
The following defects exist in prior art 1: The operation instructions for the displayed object are miscellaneous, and a user needs to memorize too many gesture rules, which makes learning and memorizing difficult.
In prior art 2, basic operations (left-click, right-click, cursor displacement) of a mouse are converted into gesture definitions. Unlike the related art 1, the related art 2 does not define specific operations for a displayed object, but defines operations similar to mouse operations to implement all specific operation functions (for example, by selecting a specific operation in a right-click menu).
The following defects exist in the related art 2: Gestures/movements similar to mouse operations vary sharply. When performing a series of operations, a user needs to switch frequently between various movements. For example, when the user needs to select a displayed object and then open a right-click menu, the user needs to move a position by clenching a fist and extending a thumb, and then extend the thumb and the index finger, and then move the thumb. Such a series of movement switches are complicated, which affects the convenience and smoothness of the operation.
Embodiments of the present invention aim at providing a contactless gesture-based control method to overcome the following problems in the related art: too many gesture rules make it hard to learn and memorize and lead to complicated and unsmooth operations.
The embodiments of the present invention are implemented in the following way. A contactless gesture-based control method includes:
obtaining gestures/movements of a user;
obtaining control instructions corresponding to the gestures/movements according to pre-stored mapping relationships between the gestures/movements and the control instructions; and
executing the control instructions, where:
the gestures/movements include: an index finger draws a circle, and remaining four fingers clench into a fist, where the circle is larger than a contour of a hand; or, five fingers clench together and a palm moves in a direction in which a device is; or, a thumb, the index finger, and a middle finger extend naturally, the remaining two fingers clench together, and the index finger moves freely; or, the thumb, the index finger, and the middle finger extend naturally, the remaining two fingers clench together, and the thumb moves up and down; or the thumb, the index finger, and the middle finger extend naturally, the remaining two fingers clench together, and the middle finger moves up and down.
A contactless gesture-based control apparatus is provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The apparatus includes:
a gesture/movement obtaining unit, configured to obtain gestures/movements of a user;
a control instruction obtaining unit, configured to obtain, according to pre-stored mapping relationships between the gestures/movements and control instructions, the control instructions corresponding to the gestures/movements obtained by the gesture/movement obtaining unit; and
a control instruction executing unit, configured to execute the control instructions obtained by the control instruction obtaining unit, where:
