Gesture detection zones

摘要

A system and method for utilizing a gesture-based user interface. A system includes an operator input device and a processor. The operator input device detects gestures and multiple simultaneous touch points. An input area of the operator input device includes a plurality of gesture detection zones. The processor is coupled to the operator input device. The processor executes a gesture recognition software program that processes inputs from the input device. The gesture recognition program causes the processor to recognize a primary gesture and a simultaneous secondary gesture, and to perform a processing function based, at least in part, on the primary gesture and a gesture detection zone in which the secondary gesture is detected.

主权项

1. A system, comprising: an operator input device that detects gestures and multiple simultaneous touch points; and a processor coupled to the operator input device, the processor to: divide an input area of the operator input device into a plurality of gesture detection zones; recognize a primary gesture and a simultaneous secondary gesture detected via the operator input device; identify the secondary gesture as a plurality of simultaneous gestures in different ones of the gesture detection zones; select, based on the primary gesture, a set of processing functions corresponding to the primary gesture, the set of processing functions comprising a plurality of different processing functions; and select, based at least in part on a number of the plurality of simultaneous gestures detected, a processing function to be performed from the set of processing functions; and select, based at least in part on a number of the simultaneous gestures detected, the processing function to be performed from the set of processing functions.
