All new essential features provides contactless control computer, equipped with a device for contactless control of the cursor when the implementation of various management actions, and gives the device manually input data for computer new consumer properties. For example, the management computer without physical access to it.

The essence of the method according to the second option. The following is known. In the mode of the device for contactless control of the cursor implement tracking changes provisions of the management of the wrist, which is located in the working range of the sensor system cursor control, the results change tracking position control hand control cursor movement, perform a control action and choose the appropriate tool to perform drawing and perform directly plotting, which press keys device back technolo cursor control, which perform the role of the left and right buttons of a mouse. The next new. When the three-dimensional tracking of changing the position of the management of the hand in the working range of the sensor system cursor control, simultaneously, additionally carry out three-dimensional tracking of configuration changes to the management of the wrist and the relative location of her fingers, the results of this three-dimensional tracking with cursor control, simultaneously, additionally carry out a control action, and choose the appropriate tool to perform a graphic plot of the menu of the graphic editor or office applications, and when the graphic plot additionally carry out the selection of mode of operation of this instrument, for which, or changing the tilt control of the wrist, or change the distance to it relative to the sensor system cursor control device for contactless control of the cursor.

The technical result. This method of computer control in the implementation of the graphic plot is due to the proximity manipulation, the control of the hand in the working range of the sensor system cursor control, which allow you to choose the appropriate tool for the implementation of the graphics, such as brush, pen atomizer, pencil or characters on the keyboard; the modes selected an appropriate instrument, such as a brush, which can change the angle to the plane of the paper, the line thickness, color. All of this allows the artist the natural movement of the wrist when performing graphic plots, according to the method, to perform a simultaneous movement of the three coordinates of the selected tool and perform the change of angle. Contactless control the computer to perform graphical construction is carried out by a combination of such new features as a three-dimensional tracking of configuration changes to the management of the wrist and the relative location of her fingers, located in the working range of the sensor system cursor control, and the implementation of traffic management on the three coordinates selected from the menu of the graphic editor or office applications appropriate tool to perform graphical construction and operation modes according to the results of this three-dimensional tracking.

So if you change the configuration management of the wrist and the relative location of her fingers is the choice of the appropriate instrument and on the monitor screen displays the results of the interaction with this tool. Contactless computer management, possesses the essential device for contactless control of the cursor in the implementation of the graphics, gives the device manually input data for computer new consumer properties. For example, in the implementation of computer graphics build effectively use the creative potential of the artist, as the artist performs drawing on a computer monitor natural hand movement.

The method according to the first variant consists of the following operations: simultaneously perform three-dimensional tracking of changing the position of the managing hand, changes its configuration and relative location of her fingers in the working range of the sensor system cursor control; control cursor movement on the tracking results of changing the position control of the hand; carry out a control action without pressing a key device for contactless control of the cursor, imitating the action of the left and right buttons of a mouse, according to the results of the three-dimensional tracking configuration management of the wrist and the relative location of her fingers.

When implementing this method uses a device for contactless control of the cursor (patent of Ukraine # 37742 "Way cursor control and a device for its implementation") and a special program (a non-standard driver) for three-dimensional tracking of configuration changes to the management of the wrist and mutual is the location of her fingers to type special programs for example type "machine vision", which must be initiated and maintained during these operations.

The example in the first embodiment. For example, it is necessary to carry out contactless certain control actions on the monitor screen of the computer system, the software which has a special program (a non-standard driver) for three-dimensional tracking of configuration changes to the management of the wrist and the relative location of her fingers, and which is equipped with a device for contactless control of the cursor. For example, it is necessary contactless position the cursor on the icon of an application, and run this application, or "win" any graphical object from one place to another. Control cursor movement. To do this, change the position of the management of the wrist, is located in the working range of the sensor system cursor, relative to this sensor system, and thereby determine the position of the cursor on the desired icon. Perform a control action. To do this, change the configuration management of the wrist and the relationships between her fingers, against which program the driver will be able to make a conclusion about the occurrence of so-called "click" event or double click. For example, such a configuration to the STI hands, - to collect the fingers one by one, if you take a pinch of salt. Thus, the monitor screen will launch the application chosen by the user. For example, the completion of other tasks, - the "tug" of the object (operation - Drag and Drop). This action is done similarly: change the position of the management of the wrist and hover the cursor over the icon; change the configuration management of the wrist and the relative positions her fingers to create a driver program events "single click". So, do the "capture" of the object, and movement of the hands in the air, that is, changing its position relative to the sensor system cursor control, "pull" the object to a new location without changing the configuration of the control hand. After that the object is "let go", which change the configuration management of the hand in the area of the sensor system cursor to create a driver program of the event "the mouse button is released".

The method according to the second variant consists of the following operations: perform three-dimensional tracking position changes, configuration changes to the management of the wrist, which is located in the working range of the sensor system cursor control, and the relative location of her fingers; is executed under the control of cursor movement, at the same time, the control action p the results of this three-dimensional tracking, and choose the appropriate tool to perform the graphics, why press a key device for contactless control of the cursor, which perform the role of left and right "mouse"; carry out the selection of the mode of operation of this instrument when performing the graphics, why or change the tilt control of the wrist, or change the distance to it relative to the sensor system cursor control device for contactless control of the cursor.

When implementing this method uses a device for contactless control of the cursor (patent of Ukraine # 37742 "Way cursor control and a device for its implementation"), as well as a special program (a non-standard driver) for three-dimensional tracking of configuration changes to the management of the wrist and the relative location of her fingers to type special programs such as "machine vision", which must be initiated and maintained during these operations.

An example for the second option. For example, you must perform the graphing tools, brush or sprayer, located on the toolbar of the graphic editor, using the computer system, the software which has a special program (non-standard the driver) for three-dimensional tracking of configuration changes to the management of the wrist and the relative location of her fingers, and which is equipped with a device for contactless control of the cursor. To do this, change the position of the management of the wrist, which is within the working range of the sensor system cursor, relative to this sensor system, and this determines the position of the cursor. Change the configuration management of the wrist and the fingers, and perform the selection of the appropriate tool, such as a brush; change the position of the management of the wrist with retention of configuration of the hand and the relative location of her fingers, and perform graphing, and on the monitor screen displays the results of interaction with brush. If necessary, change the mode of the brush, such as changing techniques brush, change the tilt control of the hand relative to the sensor system cursor control device for contactless control of the cursor.

Suggested ways to extend the capabilities of computer systems and give them a new consumer properties. They are applicable for any information, games and interactive devices, such as information terminals, ATMs, points of collective access to the Internet, screens, game consoles and machines, mobile communication terminals, portable whom uteri, demonstration of smart boards for learning or for the artist or designer.
