Abstract

Provided is a user interface apparatus that can control a telematics terminal safely and comfortably while driving, by recognizing a hand gesture image received through a camera in the telematics terminal as a corresponding control signal, and a method thereof. The interface apparatus using a hand gesture recognition, includes: an input receiving block for receiving a command registration request signal and a command selection signal; a hand gesture recognizing block for storing the hand gesture image in connection with a specific command, and transforming the hand gesture image into the corresponding command by recognizing the hand gesture image from the image obtained in the image obtaining block; and a command performing block for performing an operation corresponding to a command transformed in the hand gesture recognizing block.
