Remote manipulation device and method using a virtual touch of a three-dimensionally modeled electronic device

摘要

Disclosed is a remote control apparatus and method using a virtual touch of a three-dimensionally modeled electronic device. The remote control apparatus includes a 3D coordinate calculation unit, an electronic device detecting unit, a user detecting unit, an electronic device driving control unit, and an electronic device information database. The remote control apparatus enables the user to remotely control an operation of an electronic device using a virtual touch through a motion or gesture of the user's finger.

主权项

1. A remote control apparatus using a virtual touch of a three-dimensionally modeled electronic device, comprising:
a 3D coordinate calculation unit extracting 3D coordinate data of a user's body and the electronic device using an image received through image photographing; an electronic device detecting unit recognizing spatial location information and product information of the electronic device using the 3D coordinate data of the electronic device extracted by the 3D coordinate calculation unit and generating a virtual contact point region for a virtual touch with a user and the electronic device based on direction information corresponding to a straight line between the user and the electronic device; a user detecting unit calculating a virtual touch location and a change of the location for operating the electronic device using the 3D coordinate data of the user's body calculated by the 3D coordinate calculation unit and generating a command code for operating a predetermined electronic device based on the change of the virtual touch location that is calculated; an electronic device driving control unit converting the command code generated by the user detecting unit into a control command signal for operating a corresponding electronic device to transmit an operation command signal to the corresponding electronic device when the command code generated by the user detecting unit is inputted; and an electronic device information database (DB) storing product information comprising a manufacturer and a model name of the electronic device, protocol information applied to the operation of each product, and operation method information of each electronic device.
