METHOD OF RECOGNIZING GESTURE BY USING WEARABLE DEVICE AND THE WEARABLE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18075900 titled 'METHOD OF RECOGNIZING GESTURE BY USING WEARABLE DEVICE AND THE WEARABLE DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method and device for recognizing gestures using a wearable device. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- The wearable device can recognize user gestures by identifying a trigger gesture.
- It obtains electromyographic signals from multiple sensors based on the user's body movement for the identified trigger gesture.
- Using these signals as input to a gesture recognition model, it obtains at least one output value.
- In standby mode, the device selects active electromyography sensors based on the obtained output value to recognize the user gesture.
- The selected sensors are activated, and the user gesture is recognized by using these sensors.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Gesture-based control systems for wearable devices such as smartwatches or fitness trackers.
- Virtual reality or augmented reality applications that can recognize hand or body gestures for interaction.
- Rehabilitation devices that can track and analyze user movements for therapy purposes.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Provides a more intuitive and natural way of interacting with wearable devices or other systems.
- Enables accurate recognition of user gestures, improving the overall user experience.
- Allows for the development of gesture-based applications in various fields, enhancing usability and functionality.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced user experience through gesture-based interaction.
- Improved accuracy and reliability in recognizing user gestures.
- Increased versatility and potential for innovation in wearable devices and other systems.
Original Abstract Submitted
Provided is a method and device for recognizing, by a wearable device, a gesture. The method of recognizing, by a wearable device, a user gesture includes identifying a trigger gesture of the wearable device, obtaining an electromyographic signal set from a plurality of electromyography sensors, based on a movement of a user's body for the identified trigger gesture, obtaining at least one output value by using one or more electromyographic signals from among the obtained electromyographic signal set, as an input to a gesture recognition model, selecting, based on the wearable device being in a standby mode, at least one active electromyography sensor to recognize the user gesture, based on the obtained output value, activating the selected active electromyography sensor and recognizing the user gesture by using the activated at least one active electromyography sensor based on the wearable device being in standby mode.
