Embodiment 1

[0035] figure 1 It shows the implementation flow of the body remote control TV method provided by Embodiment 1 of the present invention, and the method process is described in detail as follows:

[0036] In step S101, the body movements of the user in front of the TV are monitored, and after a specific body movement is detected, the user is identified to determine the identity of the user.

[0037] In this embodiment, the TV remote control device includes a binocular 3D camera (or an infrared depth camera, including infrared emitting and receiving devices). The TV remote control device monitors the body movements of the user in front of the TV through the camera or the infrared depth camera. When the specific body movements of the user are detected (for example: the user pushes and retracts the palms and feet previously or the user nods forward or backwards) After nodding and other actions), face or fingerprint recognition is performed on the user in front of the TV to determ...

Embodiment 2

[0077] Figure 6 It shows the implementation flow of the body remote control TV method provided by Embodiment 2 of the present invention, and the method process is described in detail as follows:

[0078] In step S201, monitor the body movements of the user in front of the TV, and identify the user to determine the identity of the user after monitoring a specific body movement;

[0079] In step S202, judge whether there is a control interface preset by the user according to the user identity; if the judgment result is "yes", execute step S204, and when the judgment result is "no", execute step S203;

[0080] In step S203, when there is no control interface preset by the user, a default control interface is displayed;

[0081] In step S204, when there is a control interface preset by the user, display the control interface;

[0082] In step S205, the current scene image is acquired, and the scene depth map is calculated;

[0083] In step S206, according to the scene depth ma...

Embodiment 3

[0100] Figure 9 The composition structure of the TV remote control device provided by the third embodiment of the present invention is shown, and for the convenience of description, only the parts related to the embodiment of the present invention are shown.

[0101] The television remote control device may be a hardware unit or a combination of software and hardware running in the television.

[0102] The television remote control device 9 includes an identity determination unit 91 , a judgment unit 92 , a control interface display unit 93 , a depth map calculation unit 94 , an image keying unit 95 , an image superposition unit 96 , and an instruction sending unit 97 . Among them, the specific functions of each unit are as follows:

[0103] An identity determining unit 91, configured to monitor the body movements of the user in front of the TV, and identify the user to determine the identity of the user after monitoring a specific body movement;

[0104] A judging unit 92,...

Abstract

The invention is suitable for the technical field of human and machine interaction, and provides a method and device for remotely controlling a television by limbs. The method comprises the steps of: monitoring a limbs action of a user in front of the television, after monitoring the special limbs action, recognizing the user and determining a user identity; judging whether a control interface preset by the user exists according to the user identity; if yes, displaying the control interface; obtaining a current scene image, figuring a scene depth map; according to the scene depth graph, keying a user image in the current scene image; overlapping the keyed user image to the control interface to generate a virtual control interface; and detecting the limbs action of the user according to the depth map, sending a control command to the television according to the limbs action of the user and the virtual control interface. According to the invention, the accuracy and the practicability of the limbs remote control television can be effectively improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of human-computer interaction technology, and in particular relates to a method for remotely controlling a TV with body parts and a TV remote control device. Background technique [0002] With the development of TV technology, the digital processing capability of TV sets is getting stronger and stronger, and various TV terminals with super computing and processing capabilities, such as network TVs and other TVs that can be directly connected to the Internet, and all-in-one video games, have appeared. product. These TVs are no longer limited to watching traditional TV programs, but can directly browse Internet information, share audio and video content, and play interactive entertainment games on the TV. The traditional push-button remote control can no longer meet the needs of more and more content selection and operation methods of the TV. Users are eager to use gesture remote control, a natural and intuitive human-...
