TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of visual impairment assistance, in particular to a visual impairment perception guidance interaction control system and method. BACKGROUND
[0002] The visual impairment group faces many severe challenges in daily life and travel. Due to the lack of visual function, they cannot accurately obtain information about the surrounding environment, which limits their actions and seriously affects their quality of life and social participation.
[0003] At present, the traditional scheme in the prior art relies on a single type of sensor (such as using only ultrasonic waves or a camera), which leads to a significant decrease in perception ability in complex scenes. For example, a pure ultrasonic wave scheme cannot identify visual information such as traffic signs and signal lights, and it is difficult to provide complete environmental cognition in outdoor street scenes; and a single camera scheme has a large decrease in detection accuracy in low light, shielding and other environments, such as high obstacle omission rate in night or indoor shadow area, and cannot build a reliable environment model for the visually impaired. In view of this, we propose a visual impairment perception guidance interaction control system and method. SUMMARY

[0058] Embodiment 1: outdoor travel scenario
[0059] Device configuration and initialization: before going out, the visually impaired person wears the wearable device integrated with multi-source sensor module, interactive feedback module, etc. in good order, and wears the bone conduction earphone. After the device is turned on, a series of initialization processes are automatically triggered. First, sensor calibration is performed. Through the built-in calibration program, the imaging parameters of the visual sensor, the detection range of the ultrasonic sensor, and the zero offset of the inertial measurement unit are accurately calibrated to ensure the accuracy of the sensor data. Subsequently, the system is connected to the pre-bound user account, and the personalized preference settings accumulated by the user in the past use process are loaded from the cloud server, including the speech speed and volume of voice broadcast, the intensity and mode of tactile feedback, etc. Next, the system enters the self-checking stage, and the functions of each component part such as multi-source sensor module, information processing and analysis unit, interactive feedback module, etc. are detected. For example, a specific detection pattern is sent to the visual sensor to check whether its image acquisition and recognition function is normal; the ultrasonic sensor is driven to conduct a short-range distance measurement test to verify its distance measurement accuracy; the motion state change of the inertial measurement unit is simulated to test the stability of data output. If the system detects that a sensor data is abnormal during the self-checking process, such as image blur, excessive noise, etc. of the visual sensor, the user will be prompted immediately through voice, and the system will try to automatically recalibrate the sensor. If the automatic calibration fails, the system will further prompt the user about the possible problems and guide the user to perform simple troubleshooting operations, such as checking whether the sensor is blocked, whether the device connection is stable, etc. If the problem still cannot be solved, the system will automatically switch to the backup sensor (if equipped) to ensure that data acquisition work can continue, and to ensure that the device is in the best operating state before going out, providing reliable protection for the outdoor travel of the visually impaired person.
[0060] Data acquisition and processing: During outdoor walking, the multi-source sensor module is in full operation, collecting a variety of data in real time. The vision sensor continuously collects images and depth data at a high frequency of 30 frames per second. With its high-definition imaging capability and low-light automatic enhanced imaging function, it can clearly capture various objects in the surrounding environment, including pedestrians, vehicles, traffic lights, road signs, etc., and accurately obtain their distance, direction, and other spatial information, whether in the bright daylight or dim evening. The ultrasonic sensor rapidly detects the distance of the near-distance obstacle every 10 milliseconds, playing a key supplementary detection role in the near-distance scene where the vision sensor may be blocked or the detection accuracy is insufficient, ensuring that the visually impaired person will not collide with the near-distance obstacle. The inertial measurement unit outputs motion parameters uninterruptedly at a frequency of 100 Hz, monitoring the walking speed, direction change, and step count of the visually impaired person in real time, providing important motion state data support for subsequent positioning and navigation calculation. The global navigation satellite system updates the position information once every second according to the preset positioning accuracy requirement, building an accurate global position framework for the system in open areas. The edge computing module of the information processing and analysis unit performs preliminary noise reduction and feature extraction on the raw data locally, removing noise interference mixed in the sensor acquisition process and highlighting key target features. Then, using the Kalman filtering algorithm, the data of vision, ultrasonic, inertial measurement unit, and global navigation satellite system are dynamically weighted and fused according to their time stamps. Through advanced target recognition models, key objects in the environment are accurately classified and recognized, such as distinguishing different types of traffic lights (red, green, yellow), and identifying the driving direction and speed of the vehicle in front. At the same time, using high-precision positioning algorithms, considering the absolute position information of the global navigation satellite system, the relative motion information of the inertial measurement unit, and the environmental feature information provided by other sensors, the user's current position and walking direction are accurately calculated. For example, at a complex intersection, vehicles and pedestrians are passing by, the vision sensor captures image information of multiple traffic lights and a large number of pedestrians, the ultrasonic sensor detects the possible near-distance obstacles, the inertial measurement unit feedbacks the user's walking direction and speed change in real time, and the global navigation satellite system provides the approximate position coordinates. After receiving these multi-source data, the information processing and analysis unit accurately judges the specific position of the user, such as the southeast corner of the intersection, and the detailed surrounding environment, providing accurate and comprehensive basis for subsequent interactive feedback generation.
[0061] Interaction feedback and user experience: When the system detects that the intersection ahead has a green light and the user needs to go straight through according to the user's travel route planning through the processing and analysis of the collected data, the voice synthesis module quickly acts to clearly broadcast "the intersection ahead has a green light, please go straight through the zebra crossing" to the user through the bone conduction earphone. At the same time, the vibration bracelet in the interaction feedback module produces a continuous and smooth periodic vibration at the user's wrist, giving the user a clear straight-line guide from the tactile level, so that the user can accurately understand the travel instructions conveyed by the system through auditory and tactile perception. If the system detects that there are pedestrians suddenly crossing the user's walking path ahead, it will immediately start the emergency warning mechanism, issue an urgent and strong voice warning "there are pedestrians ahead, please be careful to avoid" through the voice synthesis module, and at the same time the vibration bracelet switches to a strong pulse vibration mode, quickly conveying dangerous information to the user from multiple sensory dimensions, reminding the user to take timely avoidance action. During the walking process of visually impaired people, they can at any time feedback their feelings and needs to the system through voice input devices such as high-sensitivity microphones built into the device. For example, if the user feels that the current environment is relatively noisy and the voice prompt is not very clear, they can directly say "make the sound louder"; if they feel that the tactile feedback is not obvious enough, they can feedback "make the vibration stronger" and other instructions. The voice recognition module equipped by the system quickly recognizes the user's voice instructions and transmits the related feedback information to the user preference and scene adaptation module in real time. This module uses reinforcement learning algorithm to deeply analyze and learn the user feedback data, and optimizes the subsequent information processing and feedback strategy according to the user's feedback in different scenes. For example, if the user repeatedly feedbacks that the voice prompt is not clear in noisy street environment, the system will automatically increase the voice broadcast volume in similar noisy environment, and adjust the timbre and tone of voice synthesis, so that it is clearer and more prominent, easy for the user to identify and understand in complex environment.
[0062] Scene adaptation and optimization: When a visually impaired user enters a high-rise building from an open street, the system can intelligently perceive this change and automatically adjust the data processing strategy due to the blocking of Global Navigation Satellite System signals by high-rise buildings, resulting in weakened or interrupted signal strength. Specifically, the system automatically enhances the weight of visual sensor and inertial measurement unit data in positioning calculation, uses techniques such as MEMSIMU-assisted search COA attitude solution method, calculates the pitch angle and yaw angle through MEMSIMU output data, determines the search boundary of the optimization algorithm, introduces GNSS carrier phase observation model and attitude observation model to define the fitness function to be optimized, and uses adaptive dynamic parameter adjustment mechanism and step adaptive adjustment mechanism to search and optimize the attitude within the spatial range determined by the inertial navigation system, and then uses the improved COA to search and optimize the attitude, so as to more accurately calculate and estimate the user's position. At the same time, combined with the more frequent capture of feature points in the surrounding environment by the visual sensor and the continuous monitoring of the user's motion state by the inertial measurement unit, the system can still provide high-precision positioning services for users in the case of poor Global Navigation Satellite System signals. At the same time, the system intelligently adjusts the interaction feedback strategy according to the characteristics of the scene, such as the increase in the number of pedestrians and vehicles and the complexity of the environment. For example, appropriately increase the frequency of voice prompts, and give the user advance warning of possible complex road conditions ahead; increase the volume of voice prompts so that they are more easily heard by the user in a noisy environment; and enhance the strength of tactile feedback so that the user can more obviously feel the information conveyed by the system in a tactile manner, to better cope with complex and changing environments. Throughout the outdoor journey, the system acts as an intelligent companion, constantly learning the user's behavior patterns and feedback information in different scenarios, continuously optimizing information processing and interaction strategies, and improving user experience. After a period of use, many visually impaired users feedback that they can better perceive the environment when using the system outdoors, and can walk more confidently and safely in various outdoor scenarios, greatly improving their travel autonomy and convenience. For example, after passing through the same complex road section several times, the system can predict the situation the user may face in that section in advance based on the user's previous feedback and behavior habits, and adjust the interaction strategy in advance, such as increasing the volume of voice prompts and the strength of tactile feedback when approaching the intersection, to remind the user to pay attention to traffic conditions, and to make the user more comfortable in dealing with various complex situations during the journey.
[0063] Example 2: Indoor shopping mall scenario
[0064] Environment adaptation and data preparation: Before entering the mall, the system first interacts efficiently with the internal positioning system of the mall (such as a Bluetooth beacon or Wi-Fi-based indoor positioning system) to quickly obtain detailed maps and related information of the mall, including the precise distribution of each store, the direction and width of the passageway, the specific location of service facilities (such as restrooms, rest areas, customer service centers), etc. At the same time, the system uses visual sensors to conduct a comprehensive scan of the entrance and surrounding environment of the mall, establishing an initial local environment model and identifying key elements such as landmark objects, steps, and automatic doors at the entrance. During this process, the system simultaneously performs self-checking on each module to ensure the accuracy of data collection and processing. For example, it checks whether the connection with the internal positioning system of the mall is stable and whether data transmission is smooth; it tests whether the visual sensor can clearly collect images and accurately identify key objects under the lighting conditions at the entrance of the mall. If the internal positioning system of the mall is unstable, with signal loss or large positioning deviation, the system will quickly activate the backup positioning scheme, combining data from the visual sensor and the inertial measurement unit, using methods such as indoor visual-inertial navigation algorithms and similar adaptive combination navigation methods, such as Hua Hang's adaptive combination navigation, to automatically adjust the measurement noise covariance matrix based on real-time monitoring of the user's motion state, continuously track and match the environmental features collected by the visual sensor, and accurately record the user's motion trajectory using the inertial measurement unit to assist in precise positioning, ensuring that the user's navigation needs within the mall can be stably met.
[0065] Navigation and interaction process: When walking in the mall, multiple sensors work closely together to continuously collect data. Since the global navigation satellite system signal is basically unable to cover the indoor environment, positioning and environment perception mainly rely on visual sensors, ultrasonic sensors and inertial measurement units at this time. According to the destination (such as a brand store) set by the user before entering the mall, the system uses an optimized path planning algorithm, combined with the mall map information and the real-time collected environmental data, to plan the optimal walking path, and guides the user forward in real time through voice and tactile feedback. For example, when the user approaches the area where the target store is located, the soft voice prompt "You are approaching the target store, in front of you on the left" is heard, and at the same time the vibration bracelet produces a slight periodic vibration at the left wrist, accurately indicating the direction from two dimensions of hearing and touch, helping the user to accurately find the store location. When passing through special areas such as elevators and escalators, the system issues detailed and clear voice and continuous vibration warnings in advance, informing the user of relevant matters needing attention, such as "The elevator entrance will be reached soon, please be careful on the ground and pay attention to the direction of the elevator operation", and at the same time, through the change of vibration mode, the user is reminded to pay attention to the existence of special areas. When the system simultaneously detects that the front elevator port is crowded and there are obstacles on the ground, according to the pre-set danger level priority judgment mechanism, it first reminds the user to pay attention to the ground obstacles through strong pulse vibration and emergency voice, to ensure the safety of the user's walking. In addition, the system also has intelligent environment perception and adaptive adjustment capability, which will dynamically adjust the speed and volume of voice prompts, as well as the frequency and intensity of tactile feedback, according to real-time factors such as the number of people and environmental noise in different areas of the mall. For example, in the mall atrium area with large number of people and noisy environment, the volume and speed of voice prompts are appropriately increased, and the frequency of tactile feedback is accelerated, so that the user can quickly obtain key information in a complex environment; while in the relatively quiet and less crowded internal passageway of the store, the voice prompt volume is reduced, the speed is slowed down, and the tactile feedback intensity is reduced, to avoid unnecessary interference to the user, and to improve the user's navigation experience in the mall.
[0066] User feedback and system optimization: During the use of the system in the mall by visually impaired people, they can conveniently feedback the problems encountered and the use experience to the system through voice input at any time. For example, if the navigation prompt for a certain area is not satisfactory, it is not clear or accurate enough, you can directly say "the last turn prompt is not clear"; or feel that some voice instructions are not clear, feedback "I didn't understand the voice instruction" and so on. The efficient voice recognition and feedback receiving module equipped by the system can quickly capture the feedback information of the user and accurately record it, and transmit it to the optimization module of the system. After receiving the feedback, the system immediately analyzes the relevant information in depth, combines the real-time environmental data in the mall and the historical use records of the user, uses big data analysis and machine learning algorithms to optimize the subsequent operation strategy. For example, if many users feedback that the navigation path near a certain store is unreasonable, the system will comprehensively analyze the environmental data of this area, including store layout, passage traffic conditions, crowd density distribution, etc., combined with the walking habit data of the user in this area, to optimize the navigation algorithm, and provide more reasonable and efficient path planning for subsequent users. At the same time, the system also regularly conducts systematic statistical analysis on the use data of the user in the mall, summarizes the user demand characteristics of different areas and different time periods, such as during the weekend shopping peak period, the user requires higher timeliness and accuracy of voice prompts; during the non-busy period of weekdays, the user pays more attention to the comfort of tactile feedback. According to these analysis results, further optimize the interaction strategy and information presentation method, continuously improve the applicability and user satisfaction of the system in the indoor mall scene, so that the visually impaired people can travel more smoothly and conveniently in the mall, and enjoy the same shopping experience as ordinary people.
