An object of the present invention is to provide a method of segmenting hand gestures which automatically segments hand gestures to be detected into words or apprehensible units structured by a plurality of words when recognizing the hand gestures without the user's presentation where to segment. Transition feature data in which a feature of a transition gesture being not observed during a gesture representing a word but is described when transiting from a gesture to another is previously stored. Thereafter, a motion of image corresponding to the part of body in which the transition gesture is observed is detected (step S106), the detected motion of image is compared with the transition feature data (step S107), and a time position where the transition gesture is observed is determined so as to segment the hand gestures (step S108).

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A method of automatically segmenting a subject's hand gestures into words or apprehensible units structured as a plurality of words when recognizing the subject's hand gestures, said method comprising:storing transition feature data including a feature of a transition gesture which is not observed in the subject's body during a gesture representing a word, but is observed when transiting from one gesture to another;photographing the subject, and storing image data thereof;extracting an image corresponding to a part of the body in which the transition gesture is observed from the image data;detecting a motion of the image corresponding to the part of the body in which the transition gesture is observed; andsegmenting the hand gestures by comparing the motion of the image corresponding to the part of the body in which the transition gesture is observed with the transition feature data, and then finding a time position where the transition gesture is observed.
