Gesture Detection

摘要

Methods, systems, and products sense contactless gestures. A capacitive sensor measures capacitance during performance of a gesture. The capacitive sensor generates an output signal that is compared to a database. The database stores different output signals that are associated to different commands. The corresponding command is executed in response to the performance of the gesture.

1. A method, comprising:
receiving an output signal generated by a three-dimensional curvilinear capacitive sensor during performance of a contactless gesture with a user's hand, the output signal being indicative of a capacitance between the three-dimensional curvilinear capacitive sensor and the user's hand; querying memory for the output signal, the memory storing different output signals that are associated to different commands; retrieving one of the different commands that is associated with the output signal; and executing, by a processor, the one of the different commands in response to the performance of the contactless gesture.
