Method and Device for Operating Functions in a Vehicle Using Gestures Performed in Three-Dimensional Space, and Related Computer Program Product

摘要

A method to control functions in a vehicle using gestures carried out in three-dimensional space. When it is determined that a first gesture carried out in three-dimensional space is detected using an image-based detection procedure it is determined whether the first gesture is a gesture allocated to an activation of an operation of a function. If it is that the detected first gesture is the gesture allocated to the activation of the function, then the function is activated. Next, a second a second gesture carried out in three-dimensional space is detected using the image-based detection procedure and it is determined whether the detected second gesture is a gesture allocated to the operation of the function. If it is determined that the second gesture has been detected, an operation of the function is performed.
