1. A gesture recognition apparatus for recognizing a gesture of a predetermined operating body, comprising: a storage unit, having stored therein, correspondence relationships between a plurality of coordinate ranges in relation to the operating body and to a plurality of operation target apparatuses, wherein each of the plurality of coordinate ranges corresponds to one operation target apparatus of the plurality of operation target apparatuses; an image capturing unit configured to capture one or more images of the operating body; a coordinate detecting unit configured to detect coordinates of the operating body based on the one or more captured images; an operation target apparatus specifying unit configured to select an operation target apparatus when the detected coordinates of the operating body come within the coordinate range associated with the operation target apparatus in the stored correspondence relationships between the plurality of coordinate ranges and the plurality of operation target apparatuses; and a gesture recognition processing unit configured to recognize a gesture associated with the operating body based on the one or more captured images and corresponding to the selected operation target apparatus.
