Gesture based interaction with traffic data

摘要

Gesture based interaction with traffic data is disclosed. A virtual broadcast presentation may be generated based on dynamic information such as traffic information, weather information, or other information that may be featured on a virtual broadcast presentation. A gesture made by a user is detected and processed to determine an input command associated with the detected gesture. The virtual broadcast presentation may be manipulated based on the input command.

主权项

1. A method for gesture based interaction with dynamic traffic data, the method comprising:
generating a real time virtual broadcast presentation based on dynamic traffic data received from one or more information sources in real time; and executing instructions stored in memory, wherein execution of the instructions by a processor:
processes information related to a first gesture performed by a user interacting with the virtual broadcast presentation, the first gesture detected by a sensor coupled to a computing device, wherein the first gesture is associated with a first input command that selects a soft key displayed within the virtual broadcast presentation, and wherein the first gesture is a movement of a first hand performed by the user in front of the sensor without touching the sensor or the computing device;processes information related to a second gesture performed by the user, the second gesture detected by the sensor during detection of the first gesture, wherein the second gesture is associated with a second input command that modifies a view of the virtual broadcast presentation by performing a functionality associated with the selected soft key, and wherein the second gesture is a movement of a second hand performed by the user in front of the sensor without touching the sensor or the computing device;determines the first and second input commands associated with the detected first and second gestures by comparing each of the detected first and second gestures to a plurality of previously identified gestures stored in a database, wherein the database is customizable by the user; andmanipulates the real time virtual broadcast presentation based on the first and second input commands.
