Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A lighting system based on gesture recognition mechanism includes a first proximity sensor, a second proximity sensor, a processing module and a lighting module. The first proximity sensor generates a first sensing signal. The second proximity sensor generates a second sensing signal. The processing module receives the first sensing signal and the second sensing signal. The processing module generates a gesture recognition result according to the order of receiving the first sensing signal and the second sensing signal. Then, the processing module generates a light adjusting signal according to the gesture recognition result, such that the light adjusting signal is transmitted to the lighting module so as to adjust the light characteristic of the lighting module.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A lighting system based on gesture recognition mechanism, comprising: a first proximity sensor configured to generate a first sensing signal; a second proximity sensor configured to generate a second sensing signal; a processing module configured to receive the first sensing signal and the second sensing signal; and a lighting module; wherein the processing module is configured to generate a gesture recognition result according to an order of receiving the first sensing signal and the second sensing signal, and generate a light adjusting signal according to the gesture recognition result, whereby the light adjusting signal is transmitted to the lighting module so as to adjust a light characteristic of the lighting module, wherein when a time point of the processing module receiving the first sensing signal is earlier than a time point of the processing module receiving the second sensing signal, the processing module is configure to generate the gesture recognition result of a first direction, wherein when the time point of the processing module receiving the second sensing signal is earlier than the time point of the processing module receiving the first sensing signal, the processing module is configure to generate the gesture recognition result of a second direction. 2. The lighting system based on gesture recognition mechanism as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising an infrared sensor configured to generate a temperature sensing signal and transmit the temperature sensing signal to the processing module, wherein the processing module is configured to generate the gesture recognition result according to the temperature sensing signal and the order. 3. The lighting system based on gesture recognition mechanism as claimed in claim 2 , wherein when the processing module determines that the temperature sensing signal is high-level, the processing module is configured to determine that the first sensing signal and the second signal are effective, and generate the gesture recognition result according to the order of receiving the first sensing signal and the second sensing signal. 4. The lighting system based on gesture recognition mechanism as claimed in claim 3 , wherein when the processing module determines that the temperature sensing signal is low-level, the processing module is configured to determine that the first sensing signal and the second signal are ineffective. 5. The lighting system based on gesture recognition mechanism as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the infrared sensor is disposed between the first proximity sensor and the second proximity sensor, wherein when the processing module determines that the temperature sensing signal is low-level, the processing module is configured to stop generating the gesture recognition result. 6. The lighting system based on gesture recognition mechanism as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first direction is contrary to the second direction. 7. The lighting system based on gesture recognition mechanism as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lighting module comprises a light-emitting module and a driving module. 8. The lighting system based on gesture recognition mechanism as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the light-emitting module is a light-emitting diode or a light-emitting diode array. 9. The lighting system based on gesture recognition mechanism as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the light characteristic is a brightness or a color temperature.
