  Abstract

As IT technology grows, wearable devices and Internet of Things devices are increasing, and they are becoming more common for people. As devices get smaller and smaller in size for portability, it is becoming increasingly difficult to control using general buttons or touches. To solve this problem, studies are being conducted on a new interface that controls a device by recognizing human motion. In this paper, we present a method of classifying hand gestures with only the microphone and speaker in the smart phone, and accelerometer built into the smart watch without using an additional sensor. We propose a method to increase the accuracy of hand gesture classification by fusion of acceleration data and ultrasound data. According to the fusion operation, it is classified into Max, Add, and Concat models. These fusion models improved classification accuracy compared to models that train only one part of the data. The Concat model, which is the best performing model showed 90.0% classification in 10 patterns, this classification accuracy is improved by 5.8% compared to the model trained using only acceleration data and 16.4% compared to the model using only ultrasound data.
