Improving Finger-click Recognition of a Wearable Input Device

In this paper, a finger-click recognition method is proposed to improve the recognition performance for finger-clicking of a wearable input device, called $SCURRY^{TM}$. The proposed method is composed of three parts including feature extraction part, valid click discrimination part, and cross-talk avoidance part. Two types of MEMS inertial sensors are embedded into the wearable input device to measure the angular velocity of a hand (hand movement) and the acceleration rates at the ends of fingers (finger-click motion). The experiment applied to the $SCURRY^{TM}$ device shows the improved stability and performance.
