Non-contact selection device

1. A digital processing device having a photographing function, the device comprising:

an input unit, including at least one key button;

a light source, emitting light to an outside;

a camera unit, generating and outputting a video signal corresponding to an external video;

a video data generating unit, generating video data corresponding to the video signal;

a display unit; and

an identity unit, detecting a location of a detected area formed by light, reflected by pointing-means and inputted, of light emitted from the video data in units of each frame, recognizing a moving locus of the detected area by comparing at least two continuous frames and generating and outputting corresponding change information,

wherein a pointer, a moving width of which is determined by an input of a minute adjusting button, is displayed on the display unit of the digital processing device.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the identity unit generates and outputs corresponding change information by recognizing a size change of the detected area, wherein if a size of the detected area is changed in a rate identical to or larger than a predetermined rate per unit time, it is predetermined that the change information is recognized as a selecting command or a releasing command of an information item, located with the pointer, among a plurality of information items displayed on the display unit.

3. The device of claim 2 , wherein the size of the detected area is an area size of a figure formed by an outline of the detected area or the number of a pixel included in the detected area.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the input unit further comprises a button for starting to drive the light source, the camera unit and the identity unit.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the light source, the camera unit and the identity unit periodically start and stop their driving until the location of the detected area is detected.

6. The device of claim 1 , wherein the video data is YUV data or RGB data.
