Abstract

A television, a control method and a control device for the television are disclosed in the present invention. The control method for the television includes the following steps of: obtaining motion track points of a moving target and fitting the motion track points into a motion curve; calculating angle information corresponding to the motion track points on the motion curve; judging whether the angle information corresponding to a first track point in the motion track points and the angle information corresponding to a second track point in the motion track points are in the same preset range, wherein the first and second track points are adjacent; and when the angle information corresponding to the first track point and the angle information corresponding to the second track point are not in the same preset range, generating a control instruction to control the action of the television. By the present invention, a user can conveniently control the television by utilizing gestures.

Claims (40)

1. A control method of a television set, comprising:

obtaining motion locus points of a moving object and fitting the motion locus points to a motion curve;

calculating angular information corresponding to the motion locus points on the motion curve;

determining whether the angular information corresponding to a first locus point among the motion locus points is in the same preset range as the angular information corresponding to a second locus point among the motion locus points, wherein the first locus point is adjacent to the second locus point; and

generating a control instruction to control the television set to act when the angular information corresponding to the first locus point is not in the same preset range as the angular information corresponding to the second locus point,

wherein calculating the angular information corresponding to the motion locus points on the motion curve comprises:

calculating a product of first sine and cosine and a product of second sine and cosine product, wherein the product of the first sine and cosine is the product of the sine and the cosine of the angle information corresponding to the first locus point, and the product of the second sine and cosine is the product of the sine and the cosine of the angle information corresponding to the second locus point,

and wherein both the product of the first sine and cosine and the product of the second sine and cosine are calculated in the formula of:

N =[ sin( Q *θ)]*[ cos( Q *θ)].

wherein θ represents a polar angle, N represents the product of the sine and the cosine of the polar angle, and Q corresponds to the number of times that a command is transmitted, and a plane where the polar angle is located is divided into quadrants varying with different Q.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein:

determining whether the angular information corresponding to the first locus point is in the same preset range as the angular information corresponding to the second locus point comprises:

determining whether the product of first sine and cosine has the same sign as the product of second sine and cosine; and

generating the control instruction to control the television set to act when the angular information corresponding to the first locus point is not in the same preset range as the angular information corresponding to the second locus point comprises:

generating the control instruction to control the television set to act when the product of the first sine and cosine has a different sign from the product of the second sine and cosine.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the value of Q is 2.

4. A control apparatus of a television set, comprising:

wherein θ represents a polar angle, N represents the product of the sine and the cosine of the polar angle, and Q corresponds to the number of times that a command is transmitted, and a plane where the polar angle is located is divided into quadrants varying with different Q.

5. The apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein:

the determining module comprises:

a first determining sub-module configured to determine whether the product of the first sine and cosine has the same sign as the product of the second sine and cosine; and

the control module is further configured to generate the control instruction to control the television set to act when the product of the first sine and cosine has a different sign from the product of the second sine and cosine.

6. The apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the value of Q is 2.

7. A television set, comprising:

a camera configured to capture images; and

a control apparatus of the television set configured to fit motion locus points of a moving object in the images to a motion curve; to calculate angular information corresponding to the motion locus points on the motion curve; to determine whether the angular information corresponding to a first locus point among the motion locus points is in the same preset range as the angular information corresponding to a second locus point among the motion locus points, wherein the first locus point is adjacent to the second locus point; and to generate a control instruction to control the television set to act when the angular information corresponding to the first locus point is not in the same preset range as the angular information corresponding to the second locus point,

wherein the control apparatus of the television set is configured to calculate angular information corresponding to the motion locus points on the motion curve by:

calculating a product of first sine and cosine and a product of second sine and cosine product, wherein the product of the first sine and cosine is the product of the sine and the cosine of the angle information corresponding to the first locus point, and the product of the second sine and cosine is the product of the sine and the cosine of the angle information corresponding to the second locus point,
