Abstract

As smartwatches are becoming more widely used in society, gesture recognition, as an important aspect of interaction with smartwatches, is attracting attention. An accelerometer that is incorporated in a device is often used to recognize gestures. However, a gesture is often detected falsely when a similar pattern of action occurs in daily life. In this paper, we present a novel method of designing a new gesture that reduces false detection. We refer to such a gesture as a low-false-positive (LFP) gesture. The proposed method enables a gesture design system to suggest LFP motion gestures automatically. The user of the system can design LFP gestures more easily and quickly than what has been possible in previous work. Our method combines primitive gestures to create an LFP gesture. The combination of primitive gestures is recognized quickly and accurately by a random forest algorithm using our method. We experimentally demonstrate the good recognition performance of our method for a designed gesture with a high recognition rate and without false detection.
