SUMMARY

Technical Problem

For example, in an application that allocates various functions to hands of a user among applications for a portable terminal such as a smartphone, in order to activate a function according to a state of the hand, it is necessary to recognize the hand of the user. Accordingly, it is demanded to improve a recognition accuracy of a hand recognition process for recognizing a hand of a user.

The present technology has been made in view of such a situation as described above and makes it possible to improve a recognition accuracy of a hand recognition process.

Solution to Problem

A recognition apparatus or a program of the present technology is a recognition apparatus including a hand recognition processing unit configured to perform, as a hand recognition process for recognizing, according to a posture of a portable terminal including an optical sensor that receives light, a hand reflected in an image obtained by sensing of the optical sensor, a hand recognition process for a left hand or a hand recognition process for a right hand or a program for causing a computer to function as such a recognition apparatus as just described.

A recognition method of the present technology is a recognition method including a step of performing, as a hand recognition process for recognizing, according to a posture of a portable terminal including an optical sensor that receives light, a hand reflected in an image obtained by sensing of the optical sensor, a hand recognition process for a left hand or a hand recognition process for a right hand.

In the program, the recognition apparatus, and the recognition method of the present technology, as a hand recognition process for recognizing, according to a posture of a portable terminal including an optical sensor that receives light, a hand reflected in an image obtained by sensing of the optical sensor, a hand recognition process for a left hand or a hand recognition process for a right hand is performed.

It is to be noted that the recognition apparatus may be an independent apparatus or an internal block (a semiconductor chip, a module or the Like) that configures one apparatus.

Further, the program can be provided by transmitting it through a transmission medium or by recording it on a recording medium.

Advantageous Effect of Invention

According, to the present technology, a recognition accuracy of a hand recognition process can be improved.

It is to be noted that the effect described here is not necessarily restrictive, and some other effect described in the present disclosure may be applicable.
