The present disclosure is directed to a display device and a method of controlling the display device. The display device includes a memory that stores at least one first gesture image corresponding to at least one function, a camera that obtains a basic image including user's second gesture image, and a controller that extracts the second gesture image from the basic image and displays at least one third gesture image similar to the extracted second gesture image, wherein the third gesture image is included in the first gesture image stored in the memory. The display device and method of controlling the display device may guide a user to make a correct gesture by displaying a gesture image similar to a gesture made by the user among gesture images stored in a memory.

Display device and method of controlling the same

Provided is a method which reduces the power consumption of a camera for detecting a user's gesture, in a device that detects the user's gesture and performs a command corresponding to the detected gesture. Moreover, provided is a method which turns off a camera or drives the camera in an ultra low power mode when there is no user input, and detects presence of a user to activate the camera.

Power control method of gesture recognition device by detecting presence of user

A display device and a control method thereof are provided. The display device includes a camera obtaining an image and a controller obtaining the direction of a user included in the obtained image and correcting the image such that the direction of the user is synchronized with the photographing direction of the camera. Even when the direction of the user does not correspond to the photographing direction of the camera, an image of the user can be corrected to correctly recognize a user's gesture.

Display device and control method thereof

Provided is a method which minimizes power consumption by controlling power of a camera that is used for recognizing a user's gesture, in a video processing apparatus, which recognizes the user's gesture and is controlled according to the recognized gesture, such as a TV or a monitor. In the present invention, a camera is driven in a low power mode or a high power mode, and when a user's specific gesture is detected in the lower power mode, the camera is switched to the high power mode for recognizing a detailed gesture.
