Abstract:
A remote control apparatus comprises an image acquisition unit for acquiring an image of the body of a user by photographing the image, a location calculation unit for calculating coordinate data representing the locations of a first coordinate (eye) and a second coordinate (a finger or a pointer) of the body of the user by means of the image received from the image acquisition unit, and a match confirmation unit for checking whether the locations of the first and second coordinates of the body of the user match the extended connecting straight line, the coordinates having been confirmed on the basis of the camera lens-based coordinate data calculated in the location calculation unit, and if the match is confirmed, then concluding the setup intention of the user to be an affirmative.

Claim (Index 1):
A remote control method using a camera-based virtual touch, comprising the steps of:\n (a) obtaining a 2D image of an user's body by a camera, and calculating coordinate data indicating positions of first coordinates and second coordinates of the user's body based on the 2D image of the user's body, (b) determining whether the position of the second coordinates of the user's body matches a valid area with respect to the position of the first coordinates of the user's body based on the calculated coordinate data, (c) detecting a variation in the obtained coordinate data of the first and second coordinates to detect the user's motion in response to determination that the position of the second coordinates of the user's body matches a valid area with respect to the position of the first coordinates of the user's body, and (d) generating a control command signal for controlling or selecting a particular icon displayed on an electronic device based on the detected motion, and sending the control command signal to the electronic device, wherein the calculated coordinate data is 2D data and is coordinate data at a position viewed from lens of the camera, and wherein the particular icon to be selected or controlled is determined based on the relation between an angle specified by positions of the first coordinates and the second coordinates on the 2D image and an angle specified by positions of the camera and the particular icon on the electronic device.
