Methos and apparatus with proximity touch detection

摘要

An apparatus detecting a proximity touch efficiently identifies a gesture which a user uses in the user's daily life and performs an operation corresponding to the gesture. The apparatus detects a proximity touch of an object and generates a detection signal. The apparatus generates detection information including three-dimensional positional information about the object using the detection signal and generates tracking information by tracking the detection information. The apparatus identifies a gesture corresponding to the tracking information by retrieving the gesture from a storage unit and executes an operation corresponding to the gesture.
