COMMAND BY GESTURE INTERFACE

摘要

The invention discloses a device and a method for commanding appliances by a gesture. User interfaces of the prior art have the limitation that they require an increasing number of buttons and/or graphical input areas on a display, so that the learning time of the user increases exponentially and his ability to memorise the corresponding codes decreases inversely. The device of the invention, in various embodiments which may be combined, increases the number of functions of one or more appliances which may be controlled without increasing the number of buttons and/or graphical control zones of displays. This is provided by including an orientation sensor in the device, said orientation being one of the parameters to control the operating mode of the device.
