Abstract:
The method provides an activation of an interaction system, a choosing process, a selection, a control, and a release of a technical object by performing gestures by an arm movement of the operator. The gestures may be detected using inertial sensors provided in the lower arm region of the operator or also by optically detecting the arm gestures. In comparison to known choosing methods which likewise provide pointing gestures for aiming a technical object or also analyze a position or orientation of the operator in order to choose technical objects, a two-step process, (e.g., a combination of a choosing gesture and a selecting gesture), allows a substantially more precise choosing process and interaction in the method according to the invention. In comparison to a screen-based interaction, the method allows a more intuitive interaction with technical objects.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for interaction between an operator and a technical object, in the case of which a plurality of local parameters assigned to at least one arm of the operator is detected by a gesture-detection unit of an interaction system and are evaluated as a respective gesture by a control unit of the interaction system, wherein choosing and interaction with the chosen object are controlled by a sequence of gestures, the method comprising:\n detecting an initiating gesture for activating the interaction system; detecting a choice gesture, determining first target coordinates from the plurality of local parameters assigned to the choice gesture, and assigning the first target coordinates to one or more objects identified by retrievable location coordinates; activating feedback assigned to the one or more identified objects in order to confirm to the operator a choice of one or more identified objects; in the case of a plurality of identified objects, detecting a selection gesture, determining second target coordinates from the plurality of local parameters assigned to the selection gesture, and assigning the second target coordinates to an object identified by retrievable location coordinates; detecting a confirmation gesture and assigning the identified object to an interaction mode on account of the confirmation gesture; controlling the object assigned to an interaction mode by a plurality of interaction gestures; and detecting a release gesture for releasing the object assigned to an interaction mode.
