Abstract
A method of and system are disclosed for detecting various gestures by an imaging device and executing a task assigned to these gestures. For instance, the task could include a number of smart home functions, as well as various text and other communication transmissions. The imaging device, which can be a digital camera, is wirelessly communicable with one or more base stations and/or access points over a wireless local area network. The imaging device transmits images and/or videos, which can be reviewed by a computer vision program ('CV'). CV can identify potential gestures in the images and/or videos and compare any such images and/or videos to a database of known gestures. When a gesture is detected, a corresponding task, such as a smart home action, may be executed. Additionally, CV may use facial recognition to first identify an individual, and then execute a task specific to the identified individual based on a detected gesture.
