DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0018] The following will clearly and completely describe the concept, specific structure and technical effects of the present invention in combination with the embodiments and drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, characteristics and effects of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, other embodiments obtained by technicians in this field without creative work are all within the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, all the connection / connection relationships involved in the patent do not refer to the direct connection of components, but refer to the formation of a better connection structure by adding or reducing connection accessories according to the specific implementation situation. The various technical features in the invention can be combined interchangeably without conflicting with each other.

[0019] Reference Figure 1 Shown is a schematic diagram of the structure of a smart ring shown in an embodiment of the present application.

[0020] In the embodiment of the present application, the smart ring 1 refers to a screenless and buttonless smart ring. The smart ring 1 may include a sensor module 10, which may include, but is not limited to: an accelerometer 101 and a gyroscope 102. The accelerometer 101 is used to detect the acceleration change of the smart ring in the XYZ axis direction, that is, to determine the rotation direction and rotation speed. The gyroscope 102 is used to detect the angular velocity change on the XYZ axis of the smart ring, that is, to determine the rotation angle.

[0021] When receiving a control instruction from the user, that is, recognizing that the user rotates the smart ring 1, the smart ring 1 can calculate the rotation direction and rotation speed corresponding to the rotation action through the accelerometer 101, and calculate the rotation angle corresponding to the rotation action through the gyroscope 102. The accelerometer and gyroscope are used to calculate simultaneously to avoid invalid actions such as shaking or waving the user's hands while wearing the smart ring, and the corresponding control function is specified.

[0022] The smart ring 1 also includes a communication module 20, and the communication module 20 may include a Bluetooth module for establishing a communication connection with a user's user device. The smart ring 1 may pre-establish a database for storing control functions, called a setting database, wherein the setting database may include the default control functions written into the smart ring 1 before leaving the factory (for example, rotating 45 degrees clockwise within a preset time period (for example, 2 seconds) to play / pause mobile phone music), or a blank database for subsequent users to customize different rotation parameters corresponding to different control functions. When the user needs to update the control function in the setting database of the smart ring 1 (for example, add, delete or modify, etc.), the user device may establish a communication connection with the smart ring 1 based on the communication module 20, so that the user can implement the update operation of the control function in the setting database on the user device. In other embodiments, the user may also implement the update operation of the control function in the setting database by rotating the smart ring 1.

[0023] In some embodiments, the user can pair the user device with the smart ring 1 via Bluetooth, so that the smart ring 1 can confirm the user's identity through the communication between the Bluetooth module in the communication module 20 and the user device. In other embodiments, the sensor module 10 can also be provided with a fingerprint sensor. When different users need to control the smart ring 1 or use the smart ring 1 to achieve different control functions, the user's identity can be identified through the fingerprint sensor and matched with the corresponding setting database of the user.

[0024] In some embodiments, when multiple users need to perform different control functions on the smart ring 1, the user can also let the smart ring 1 recognize the user identity by rotating the smart ring 1. Specifically, different users can customize the rotation parameters corresponding to waking up the smart ring 1, for example, user A rotates the smart ring 90 degrees clockwise once, user B rotates the smart ring 90 degrees clockwise twice, user C rotates the smart ring 90 degrees clockwise three times, etc., that is, when user A needs to control the smart ring 1, first, it is necessary to rotate the smart ring 90 degrees clockwise once, so that the smart ring 1 knows that user A is controlling it at this time, and matches the setting database a corresponding to user A, when user B needs to control the smart ring 1, first, it is necessary to rotate the smart ring 90 degrees clockwise twice, so that the smart ring 1 knows that user B is controlling it at this time, and matches the setting database b corresponding to user B, when user C needs to control the smart ring 1, first, it is necessary to rotate the smart ring 90 degrees clockwise three times, so that the smart ring 1 knows that user C is controlling it at this time, and matches the setting database c corresponding to user C.

[0025] In some embodiments, the smart ring 1 also includes a smart ring control device 30 for executing the steps of the smart ring control method.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present application does not require the use of buttons and / or screens on the smart ring to achieve control of the smart ring. Secondly, when the user needs to control the user device, there is no need to open the corresponding application. The user can directly control the functions of the user device by rotating the smart ring. At the same time, there is no need to use buttons and / or screens on the smart ring, that is, there is no consumption of buttons and / or screens, so that the usage time and service life are relatively longer.

[0027] Reference Figure 2 As shown, it is a flow chart of a smart ring control method shown in an embodiment of the present application, and the smart ring control method may include the following steps.

[0028] S21, when it is determined that the smart ring enters the control mode, receiving a first control instruction input by the user.

[0029] S22: Determine a rotation parameter corresponding to the first control instruction.

[0030] In the embodiment of the present application, the smart ring refers to a smart ring without a screen and buttons.

[0031] In some embodiments, a sensor module is integrated inside the smart ring to detect the rotation of the smart ring. When the user rotates the smart ring, the sensor module captures the rotation in real time and generates a corresponding electrical signal. The smart ring reads the electrical signal and generates a corresponding control instruction (first control instruction), and parses the first control instruction to determine the rotation parameters corresponding to the first control instruction. The rotation parameters may include, but are not limited to: rotation direction, rotation speed, rotation angle, and number of rotations.

[0032] Specifically, the sensor module may include an accelerometer and a gyroscope, wherein the accelerometer is used to detect the acceleration change of the smart ring in the XYZ axis direction, that is, to determine the rotation direction and rotation speed, and the gyroscope is used to detect the angular velocity change on the XYZ axis of the smart ring, that is, to determine the rotation angle. In addition, the smart ring can also calculate the number of rotations by detecting the number of waveform changes in the accelerometer data in the accelerometer, that is, each time the waveform changes from increase to decrease (or from decrease to increase) represents a rotation.

[0033] In some embodiments, when the smart ring is worn on the user's hand, the current XYZ axis information is automatically recorded, the XYZ axis information at this time (XYZ axis information includes any rotation parameter) is set to 0, and the XYZ axis information is determined as the initial point. When the user rotates the smart ring, the smart ring can determine the rotation direction, rotation speed and rotation angle according to the initial point. As for the number of rotations, it depends on the time when the user pauses. When pausing, the XYZ axis information of the smart ring at the current moment will be recorded once. If the XYZ axis information does not change within a preset time period (for example, 2 seconds), the number of rotations will not increase. If the XYZ axis information changes within the preset time period, the number of changes is determined, and the number of changes is determined as the number of rotations. Exemplarily, assuming that the rotation angle of the smart ring only changes from 45 degrees to 60 degrees within 2 seconds, the number of rotations can be determined to be 1. Assuming that the rotation angle of the smart ring first changes from 45 degrees to 60 degrees within 2 seconds, and then changes from 60 degrees to 75 degrees, the number of rotations can be determined to be 2.

[0034] In addition, the smart ring can determine the rotation direction based on the finger on which it is worn, where the rotation direction can include clockwise and counterclockwise, and the rotation direction of each wearing finger can be defined consistently or inconsistently. For example, when the smart ring is worn correctly, facing the back of the hand, right rotation is defined as clockwise, left rotation is defined as counterclockwise, or for the index finger, right rotation is defined as clockwise, left rotation is defined as counterclockwise, for the middle finger, left rotation is defined as clockwise, right rotation is defined as counterclockwise, and so on, and this application will not give examples one by one.

[0035] In an optional implementation, before receiving the first control instruction input by the user, the method further includes: Determining whether the user wears the smart ring normally; When it is determined that the user wears the smart ring correctly, determining whether the rotation direction meets the target rotation direction within a preset time period, and determining whether the rotation angle meets a second preset angle threshold; When it is determined within the preset time period that the rotation direction satisfies the clockwise direction and the rotation angle satisfies the second preset angle threshold, it is determined that the smart ring enters the control mode, wherein the target rotation direction includes a clockwise direction and a counterclockwise direction; When it is determined within the preset time period that the rotation direction satisfies the counterclockwise direction and the rotation angle satisfies the second preset angle threshold, it is determined that the smart ring exits the control mode.

[0036] In some embodiments, if the user needs to achieve function control by rotating the smart ring, it is necessary to ensure that the smart ring is in control mode, that is, the user needs to wear the smart ring correctly and meet specific conditions. Among them, normal wearing of the smart ring means that the smart ring needs to be worn on any finger, and the specific condition means that the rotation direction and rotation angle need to meet the preset conditions within a preset time period. Specifically, the smart ring can determine whether the user is wearing the smart ring normally through the sensor data collected by its sensor module, such as whether the data of the accelerometer fluctuates within a certain range, whether the data of the gyroscope shows that the smart ring is in a relatively stable position, etc.

[0037] The smart ring can also pre-set a time period to determine whether the user's rotation action within the time period meets a specific condition. It should be noted that the time period in this embodiment can be set to be consistent with the time period in the above embodiment, or it can be inconsistent, and this application does not limit it.

[0038] When it is determined that the user is wearing the smart ring correctly and it is detected that the user rotates the smart ring, the rotation parameter corresponding to the rotation action is determined. When the rotation direction is clockwise within the preset time period and the rotation angle meets the preset angle threshold (the second preset angle threshold), it means that the smart ring enters the control mode, allowing the smart ring to continue to receive the user's rotation action, so as to allow the user to achieve different function controls by rotating the smart ring, that is, allowing the smart ring to receive the first control instruction input by the user. When the rotation direction is counterclockwise within the preset time period, and / or the rotation angle does not meet the second preset angle threshold, it means that the smart ring is not in control mode, that is, the smart ring is not allowed to receive the first control instruction input by the user. In addition, when the rotation direction is counterclockwise within the preset time period and the rotation angle also meets the second preset angle threshold, it means that the smart ring exits the control mode, that is, the smart ring is not allowed to receive the first control instruction input by the user.

[0039] When it is determined that the user is not wearing the smart ring correctly, the smart ring is directly judged as not entering the control mode and does not receive control instructions corresponding to any rotation actions of the user. That is, no matter how the user rotates the smart ring, the smart ring cannot realize the control function, nor can it realize control of the smart ring (for example, turning on or off, etc.).

[0040] It should be noted that if the user does not wear the smart ring normally, even if the rotation direction and rotation angle meet the preset conditions, the smart ring still cannot enter or exit the control mode.

[0041] Through the above optional implementation, the smart ring can determine whether the user is wearing it normally, and detect whether the rotation direction and rotation angle meet specific conditions within a preset time period to decide whether to enter or exit the control mode, thereby improving the control accuracy and user experience of the smart ring.

[0042] S23: judging whether a control triggering condition is satisfied according to the rotation angle in the rotation parameter.

[0043] When it is determined that the smart ring has entered the control mode, in order to prevent the user from swinging the entire hand and causing the smart ring to rotate and trigger a certain control function while wearing the smart ring, the smart ring can preset a set of control trigger conditions, which define which rotation speeds and rotation angles will trigger the control function. In some embodiments, when it is determined that the control trigger conditions are met, the smart ring can give a vibration feedback to notify the user. In other embodiments, each time the smart ring satisfies a control function, the smart ring can also give a vibration feedback to notify the user.

[0044] In an optional implementation, judging whether a control trigger condition is satisfied according to the rotation speed and the rotation angle in the rotation parameter includes: Determining whether the rotation speed satisfies a preset speed range; When it is determined that the rotation speed satisfies the preset speed range, determining whether the rotation angle is greater than a first preset angle threshold; When the rotation angle is greater than the first preset angle threshold, determining that the control trigger condition is met; When the rotation angle is less than the first preset angle threshold, it is determined that the control trigger condition is not satisfied.

[0045] In some embodiments, the smart ring can pre-set a speed range and an angle threshold (first preset angle threshold), where the speed range represents the rotation speed that effectively triggers the control instruction. When it is detected that the rotation speed is within the preset speed range, it is considered that the rotation speed meets the first-level condition and enters the next step of judgment. If the rotation speed is not within the preset speed range, the rotation action is considered invalid, and it is directly determined that the control trigger condition is not met, and the judgment ends. On the basis that the rotation speed meets the first-level condition, the smart ring further detects the rotation angle. Among them, the first preset angle threshold represents the minimum rotation angle required to effectively trigger the control instruction. When it is detected that the rotation angle is greater than the first preset angle threshold, it is determined that the rotation angle meets the second-level condition, and at this time it can be determined that the control trigger condition is met. If the rotation angle is less than the first preset angle threshold, it is determined that the control trigger condition is not met.

[0046] It should be noted that the smart ring can first determine whether the rotation angle meets the first preset angle threshold, and when it is determined that the rotation angle is greater than the first preset angle threshold, then determine whether the rotation speed is within the preset speed range. Alternatively, it can simultaneously determine whether the rotation angle meets the first preset angle threshold and whether the rotation speed is within the preset speed range.

[0047] Through the above optional implementation, by judging the rotation speed and the rotation angle, invalid or falsely triggered rotation actions can be filtered out more effectively, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the control instructions.

[0048] When it is determined according to the rotation angle that the control trigger condition is satisfied, step S24 is executed. When it is determined according to the rotation angle that the control trigger condition is not satisfied, the process may return to step S21 for execution.

[0049] S24, when it is determined according to the rotation speed and the rotation angle that the control trigger condition is satisfied, matching a target control function corresponding to the rotation parameter from a setting database.

[0050] In some embodiments, the smart ring can pre-establish a database for storing control functions, called a setting database. The setting database includes mapping relationships between different rotation parameter combinations and control functions, and the rotation parameter combinations and control functions are one-to-one corresponding. Each entry in the setting database contains a set of rotation parameters (such as rotation direction, number of rotations, angle range) and control functions associated therewith (such as switching songs, adjusting volume, etc.). The rotation parameters in the setting database can be normalized or standardized values ​​to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the matching process.

[0051] It should be noted that a setting database has been established before the smart ring leaves the factory, wherein the setting database may include a pre-written default control function. If the user does not update the default control function, the smart ring will be controlled according to the default control function. If the user updates the default control function, the setting database will be further updated, and the smart ring will be controlled according to the updated control function. In addition, the setting database can also be a blank database for users to customize different rotation parameters corresponding to different control functions. If the setting database of the smart ring is a blank database when it leaves the factory, the user first needs to customize different rotation parameters corresponding to different control functions, and write the control function corresponding to the rotation parameter machine into the smart ring, so that the smart ring can subsequently realize control based on the customized control function.

[0052] In an optional implementation, the matching of the target control function corresponding to the rotation parameter from the setting database includes: Traversing the setting database based on the rotation parameter to calculate a matching degree between the rotation parameter and the setting database; The first control function corresponding to the matching degree of 1 in the setting database is determined as the target control function.

[0053] In some embodiments, when it is determined that the user's rotation action meets the control trigger condition, the rotation parameters corresponding to the rotation action, that is, the rotation direction, rotation angle and number of rotations, are determined. The smart ring can traverse each entry of the setting database based on the rotation direction, rotation angle and number of rotations carried in the first control instruction. For each entry, the smart ring calculates the matching degree of the rotation parameter with the rotation parameter stored in the entry. That is, for each parameter in the rotation parameter, the smart ring calculates its matching degree with the target value in the setting database. Specifically, the smart ring can first calculate the relative difference value (such as absolute value difference, square difference or percentage difference, etc.) between the parameter value corresponding to the parameter and the target value, and then convert the difference value into a matching degree by subtracting the relative difference value from 1. After determining the matching degree of each parameter, multiply the matching degree of each parameter by its corresponding weight, and then add the results to obtain a comprehensive matching degree. Further, the smart ring also needs to normalize the comprehensive matching degree to ensure that its value is between 0 and 1. It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the weight of each rotation parameter is set to be consistent.

[0054] After traversing all entries, if the smart ring finds an entry with a matching degree of 1, the control function (first control function) stored in the entry is determined as the target control function. If no entry with a matching degree of 1 is found, the smart ring can select the entry with the highest matching degree according to a preset rule, for example, and determine the control function (second control function) stored in it as the target control function.

[0055] In an optional embodiment, the method further comprises: When the matching degree is not 1, determining a maximum matching degree among the matching degrees; When it is determined that the number of matching items with the maximum matching degree is 1, determining the second control function corresponding to the maximum matching degree in the setting database as the target control function; When it is determined that the number of matching items is not 1, prioritizing the second control function; The third control function corresponding to the highest priority in the setting database is determined as the target control function.

[0056] In some embodiments, when it is determined that there is no entry with a matching degree of 1 in the setting database, the smart ring selects the control function corresponding to the entry corresponding to the highest matching degree in the matching degree as the target control function. Specifically, the smart ring can traverse the setting database and count the number of entries with the maximum matching degree, that is, the number of matching items. If the number of matching items is 1, that is, only one entry has the maximum matching degree, the control function (second control function) corresponding to the entry is determined as the target control function. If the number of matching items is not 1, that is, there are multiple entries with the maximum matching degree, it is necessary to prioritize the second control functions corresponding to these entries. The smart ring can pre-assign a priority value to each entry or control function in the setting database. When it is necessary to sort the control functions with the maximum matching degree according to the priority value, the control function with a higher priority value is ranked higher. Among them, the priority value can be determined based on factors such as user preference, frequency of use, and function importance. In the sorted control function list, the control function with the highest priority (third control function) is selected as the target control function. In other embodiments, if there is no complete match, that is, if there is no entry with a matching degree of 1 in the setting database, the smart ring can perform a default operation in addition to finding the closest match.

[0057] Through the above optional implementation, when the control trigger condition is met, the smart ring will match the corresponding control function from the setting database. If a completely matching entry is found (matching degree is 1), the control function will be executed directly; if there is no completely matching entry, the control function with the highest matching degree or the highest priority will be selected for execution, which improves the flexibility and user experience of the smart ring, allowing users to customize the control function according to their needs, and also ensures that when an accurate match cannot be made, the closest or most important function can be selected for execution.

[0058] S25, generating a second control instruction based on the target control function, and sending the second control instruction to the user equipment of the user to control the user equipment to execute the control action corresponding to the target control function.

[0059] The smart ring also includes a communication module, which can establish a connection with the user device through the communication module. After determining the target control function to be implemented, the smart ring can generate a control instruction (second control instruction) corresponding to the target control function, and send the second control instruction to the user device through the communication module. When the user device receives the second control instruction, it executes the control action corresponding to the target control function.

[0060] For example, assuming that the user rotates the smart ring 90 degrees clockwise and triggers the "switch song" control function, the smart ring generates a second control instruction corresponding to "switch song" and sends the second control instruction to the user's smartphone through the communication module, so that after the smartphone receives the second control instruction, it executes the control action of switching songs.

[0061] In an optional embodiment, the method further comprises: When receiving an update instruction for any control function of the setting database, determining an update control function of the update instruction; The setting database is updated based on the update control function.

[0062] In some embodiments, the user can arbitrarily change the control function settings of the smart ring, that is, add, modify or delete the settings of the control functions, and the updated control function settings are synchronized to the settings database of the smart ring in real time or regularly. Specifically, the user can update the settings database through the user device, or update the settings database by rotating the smart ring. When it is determined that an update instruction is received, the smart ring parses the update instruction to determine the control function to be updated and its corresponding rotation parameter combination. Further, based on the parsed update information, the corresponding entries in the settings database are updated. If the update instruction contains a mapping relationship between a new rotation parameter combination and a control function, a new entry is added to the settings database; if it is specified to modify an existing entry, the content of the entry is replaced; if an entry is deleted, the entry is removed from the settings database.

[0063] In some embodiments, when the control function setting adjustment is completed, the smart ring can detect when the user wears the smart ring normally, and when it is determined that the user wears the smart ring correctly and wakes up the smart ring, the control function in the setting database is updated.

[0064] Through the above optional implementation, the user is allowed to update the setting database, which can greatly improve the flexibility and scalability of the smart ring. Secondly, the user can add, modify or delete control functions at any time according to his or her needs or preferences, so that the smart ring is more in line with personal usage habits.

[0065] A ring without a screen and buttons can be controlled to be smaller and lighter, making it more comfortable for users to wear. However, in the prior art, it is very troublesome because the control program always needs to be opened for control. The present application uses an accelerometer and a gyroscope to calculate the rotation parameters of the user's smart ring, such as rotation speed, rotation direction, rotation angle and number of rotations, to perform a series of command controls. For example, rotating clockwise to 45 degrees is the "start" operation, and rotating counterclockwise to 45 degrees is the "pause" operation. Different combination actions can be achieved through the rotation parameters to realize different control function effects, so that users only need to easily turn the smart ring to achieve function control, and without using buttons or screens, the service life is longer and safer.

[0066] The embodiment of the present application can be applied to a smart ring to realize real-time control of user devices (e.g., mobile phones, electrical appliances, etc.).
