A remote control apparatus comprises an image acquisition unit for acquiring an image of the body of a user by photographing the image, a location calculation unit for calculating coordinate data representing the locations of a first coordinate (eye) and a second coordinate (a finger or a pointer) of the body of the user by means of the image received from the image acquisition unit, and a match confirmation unit for checking whether the locations of the first and second coordinates of the body of the user match the extended connecting straight line, the coordinates having been confirmed on the basis of the camera lens-based coordinate data calculated in the location calculation unit, and if the match is confirmed, then concluding the setup intention of the user to be an affirmative.

Apparatus and method for remote control using camera-based virtual touch

Disclosed is a virtual touch remote control apparatus and method using user's movements (gestures) capable of control electronic devices remotely regardless of existence of a display on the device, by providing additional information display with a projector. The apparatus includes a 3D coordinates calculation unit, an electronic device detection unit, a user detection unit, an electronic device operation controller, and an electronic device information DB for storing device specific information.

Remote control apparatus and method for performing virtual touch by using information displayed by a projector

Disclosed is a remote control apparatus and method using a virtual touch of a three-dimensionally modeled electronic device. The remote control apparatus includes a 3D coordinate calculation unit, an electronic device detecting unit, a user detecting unit, an electronic device driving control unit, and an electronic device information database. The remote control apparatus enables the user to remotely control an operation of an electronic device using a virtual touch through a motion or gesture of the user's finger.
