Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of hats, specifically protective hats for the elderly and children, and their usage methods. Background Technology

[0002] There are many types of hats nowadays, and most have a visor at the front. The visor serves two purposes: firstly, it shields the eyes from sunlight and protects against wind, rain, and debris; secondly, it adds an aesthetic appeal, making hats with visors more popular. However, a drawback of this type of hat is that it doesn't fully utilize the unique position of the visor for information exchange. Some hats have a display panel shaped like glasses attached to the bottom of the visor. While this display panel can be folded up and down, it's unsuitable for standby use. For people working or busy outdoors, this display panel cannot be left down for extended periods, as it obstructs the user's view when down. When folded up, there's no standby interface, meaning it can't be used for extended periods and cannot display call or message notifications, especially important notifications. Having to fold up the panel every time there's an incoming call or message can be too frequent, and some messages don't need a response. It also doesn't utilize the advantageous position of the visor for real-time image correction, video playback, or image viewing. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing hats and provide a protective hat for the elderly and children, as well as a method of use.

[0004] This invention is implemented as follows: The protective hat for the elderly and children, and its usage method, include a top substrate, a front shell, a real-time camera assembly, a screen strip, a home button area, a touch strip, a main unit, buttons, a hat plate, and a hat body. The front end of the top substrate is integrated with the front shell. The top substrate is connected below the hat plate. The front shell plate of the front shell is the leading edge, and the rear shell plate is the rear end. The screen strip is connected to the rear shell plate of the front shell. The outer surface of the leading edge is formed into a touch strip. The screen strip can display the time and navigation. The real-time camera assembly is installed inside the front shell. The real-time camera assembly provides real-time images for correction. The real-time camera assembly has two combination methods: a front combination method and a rear combination method. When responding to phone calls, WeChat messages, or other messages displayed on the screen strip, users can choose between voice reply and voice-to-text reply. When users find voice reply and voice-to-text reply inconvenient, they can choose text message reply and emoji reply. A home button area is provided below the top substrate, containing home buttons (commonly used buttons). The protective hat for the elderly and children has a correction function. When a call, WeChat message, or text message arrives, the screen displays a dedicated icon for that message, which illuminates and flashes to attract the user's attention. Behind each icon is a brief text display of the caller's name, the sender's name, and the message content. Pressing the up button on the front casing allows the text on the narrow screen, which normally displays only one line, to wrap to a new line, displaying the main content continuously. The screen displays navigation by dividing the middle of the screen with two line segments as a straight-ahead zone. An upward arrow in the straight-ahead zone indicates going straight, while a downward arrow indicates a U-turn. The left side of the straight-ahead zone is used for left turns, and the right side for right turns. Both left and right turn zones have intersection lights that are normally off. When a left turn is approaching from a certain distance, the left-turn zone's intersection light is off, but an illuminated arrow extends into the left-turn zone. As the user approaches the left-turn intersection, the left-turn zone's intersection light flashes, the arrow flashes, and a voice prompt indicates an immediate left turn. The right-turn navigation is displayed in the same way. The operation method for the buttons on the top substrate is as follows: Place the thumb of one hand under the cap plate at the button position to be pressed, and place the other finger of the same hand on the cap plate corresponding to the thumb position. Squeeze the two fingers together slightly to complete the operation. The method for operating the buttons on the front of the front casing is to place either the middle or index finger of one hand on the desired button surface on the front of the front casing, and place the thumb on the screen strip corresponding to the selected button position on the back. Squeeze the two fingers together slightly to complete the pressing operation. For replying to WeChat messages and other messages using text packets, commonly used texts of different categories and aspects are pre-classified, grouped, and packaged, and stored in the host's storage. From the numerous different categories and groups of text packets, a human-computer interaction method of alternating between touching the touch strip and the screen (touch-display-touch-display) is used to select the desired text packet and send it to the recipient's mobile phone step by step.The front combination mode is a combination of a bottom-mounted camera and a front-facing camera; the rear combination mode is a combination of a bottom-mounted camera and a rear-facing camera. The home button area below the top panel functions similarly to the home screen on a mobile phone, with each button featuring an icon representing its respective area. When the user's target position—that is, the hand extending from the front of the hat—is at the front of the hat's front panel and the distance from the front panel is significantly greater than the distance between the front panel and the user's body, the real-time camera group switches from the rear combination mode to the front combination mode; when the user's target position is between the bottom of the hat panel and the user's body, the front combination mode automatically switches to the rear combination mode.

[0005] The beneficial effects of this invention are: 1. A screen strip is installed below the front end of the cap plate. The screen strip is short and does not obstruct the view in front of the eyes. Visual acuity is divided into central vision and peripheral vision, i.e., primary vision and lateral vision. The area below the front end of the cap plate is within the range of lateral vision perception. Objects too close to the eyes are difficult to see clearly, while objects too far away lack a support for the screen strip. The front end of the cap plate is just the right distance from the eyes for clearly seeing text and images, making it a rare and ideal support location for a display strip in wearable devices. The eyes are very sensitive to light; when there is an incoming call, WeChat message, or other notification, the cursor on the screen strip will light up. Therefore, the eyes don't need to pay attention to it normally; when the cursor lights up, it is quickly perceived. A quick glance upwards is enough to see the content displayed on the screen strip. This is especially useful for important notifications, which can be processed immediately. 2. A real-time camera array is installed at the front end of the cap plate, enabling real-time monitoring of the user's face, feet, surrounding environment, and actions. The host computer's memory pre-stores short images or pictures of potential health hazards to the elderly and young children—these are known as template images. Once monitoring begins, the system synchronously compares the real-time images recorded by the front-end camera group with the template images. If a discrepancy is detected, a warning light illuminates and a voice prompt reminds the user to immediately stop what they are doing. If a dangerous or very dangerous situation is detected in the real-time image, the system immediately calls the caregiver and sends a short image or picture of the danger, enabling the user to receive timely medical attention. The front-end camera group on the hat panel provides convenient access to real-time full-body images of the user and can also be used to create an automatic correction hat. Template images—correct, standard images—are recorded for the actions of personnel in different industries and jobs during specific time periods and are pre-stored in the host computer's database. During these time periods, the real-time images provided by the front-end camera group are compared with the template images. If a discrepancy is detected, the system promptly alerts the user, allowing for timely correction. This eliminates potential hazards and improves operational quality. Similarly, this on-the-go, real-time correction method is also applicable to student homework, pointing out errors in memorization and assignments for timely correction and improved learning efficiency. 3. A touch strip is installed at the front of the cap plate. The touch strip is very narrow; touching it from the back is less convenient than using a finger on the surface of the screen. Because the screen is narrow, the top substrate is directly above it, creating a confined space that obstructs the finger, making it inconvenient. The touch strip, located at the front of the cap plate, is in a more open and unobstructed position, making it very convenient to use. 4. Buttons are installed on the cap plate to control the display of specific content on the screen. This allows users to quickly perform specific operations. An up-row button is also included, enabling the narrow screen, which could only display a single line of small text, to display important information line by line using a wrapping method.5. It can reply to received WeChat messages and can proactively send WeChat messages and information. 6. It adopts a navigation method different from traditional navigation, enabling convenient and accurate navigation even on a narrow screen that can only display a single line of small text, greatly improving convenience for users. 7. The screen can display the time, which is much more convenient than taking out a phone or watch to check the time while busy. A quick glance upwards tells you the time. Attached Figure Description

[0016] Figure 1 The diagram shows the installation of the top substrate and connectors on the cap plate. The child safety cap includes a top substrate, front shell, real-time camera assembly, screen strip, home button area, touch strip, main unit, buttons, cap plate, and cap body. The cut-out portion in the diagram shows: the front shell 14 and top substrate 6 are integrated. The top substrate 6 is connected to the underside of the cap plate 5 by rivets 4. The home button area is located under the top substrate 6. The home button area is equipped with a home button 11. The front shell plate of the front shell 14 has an leading edge, and the touch strip 1 is located in front of the leading edge. The screen strip 12 is connected to the rear shell plate of the front shell. The thickness edge 2 of the cap plate 5 is flush with the touch surface on the front shell plate of the front shell. The front housing 14 has a small height dimension, while its left and right lateral dimensions are much larger than its height dimension. Therefore, the touch strip 1 in front of the front edge and the screen strip 12 behind the rear housing are both strip-shaped. The height of the front housing 14 is generally four to six millimeters, and it can be manufactured in several model ranges, such as 4~6 mm, 6~8 mm, 8~10 mm, and 10~12 mm. Models exceeding 12 mm are intended for use in special environments, for special occupations, for special groups of people, and for the elderly. The height of the front housing should be designed not to obstruct the user's forward view. A miniature microphone and speaker integration is located on one side below the rear of the cap plate, or slightly below the side edge 9 near the rear of the cap plate. There are also cap-shaped designs for matching Bluetooth headsets, which are not shown in the figure.

[0017] This invention is applicable to all kinds of hats with a visor and a visor of appropriate length, including hats for the elderly, youth, students, children, tourists, sun hats, military hats, industry-specific clothing hats, engineering hats with longer visors, and safety helmets.

[0018] Figure 2 The diagram shows the connection between the top substrate and the front housing. Figure A is a perspective view of the top substrate. Figure B is a view along line D in Figure A. Figure C is an enlarged cross-sectional view (AA) of Figure B. Let's first look at the structure of the front housing in Figure C. The front left side of the front housing 14 is the front edge 15, the rear right side is the rear housing 22, the top substrate 6 is on top, and the bottom housing 21 is below. The front edge 15 is configured as a touch strip 1. The right side of the rear housing 22 is connected to the screen strip 12. A front-facing camera 16 is installed inside the front housing 14.

[0019] Figure A shows the front housing 14 and the top substrate 6 connected as a single unit. Figure C is an enlarged plan view of section AA in Figure B. The top substrate and the front housing are integrally formed from plastic. The top substrate 6 and the front housing 14 are shaped with an upward arch of appropriate curvature, which matches the upward arch of the cap plate to which they are connected. In the figures, the left side of the top substrate, i.e., the front, together with the front housing 14, arches to the left by an arc, and this forward arch is basically consistent with the forward arch of the front of the cap plate to which it is connected.

[0020] The height of the front housing 14 is much smaller than its left and right lengths, and it is strip-shaped. The effective height of the front housing is the distance from the bottom of the front housing to the bottom of the top substrate, also called the width of the screen strip and touch strip. The screen strip 12 is a very narrow display strip.

[0021] Figure 3 The image in the middle is a 3D view of the front of the protective cap for the elderly and children. Figure 3 From Figure 1 The main image, viewed from left to right, shows the front of the hat. A front edging 7 is located above the hat panel 5. A top substrate 6 is connected to the bottom of the hat panel, as shown in the cut-out position in the figure. The leading edge 15 of the front shell is connected to the bottom of the top substrate 6. Side edges 3 connect the top substrate and the front shell on both sides. The touch strip 1 blocks the leading edge 15, as shown in the cut-out position in the figure. A delete key 19 is installed on the front shell surface of the left side edge 3. A return key 18 is installed in front of the right side edge 3. A front-facing camera 16 is installed in the front shell behind the center of the touch strip. For aesthetic reasons, the side edges 3 connect the front shell to the left and right sides of the front shell. The lower edge of the side edges gradually curves upwards from the lower edges of the two sides of the front shell, smoothly connecting the lower edges of both sides to the lower edge of the middle section of the hat panel.

[0022] Figure 4 The image above is... Figure 1 The image below is an enlarged cross-sectional view, and the image below is a view along direction D of the image above. In the image above, the top substrate 6 is connected to the bottom of the cap plate 5 by rivets 4. The front housing 14 is integrated with the front end of the top substrate 6.

[0023] The image below is a view of direction D from the image above. It shows the top panel flipped upside down, with the bottom facing upwards. The home button area 31 on the top substrate has two rows of home buttons. The left row contains general buttons: phone button 23, WeChat button 25, message button 27, navigation button 28, and front camera button 29. The right row contains a live camera button 30, a selection button 32, and a power button 10. In this invention, the live camera is a combination of the front camera 16, the lower camera 26, and the rear camera 24. Since live recording is a relatively long process, and the operation to enter live shooting mode needs to be simple and quick, the live camera button 30 is provided on the top substrate. The home button area below the top substrate functions similarly to the home screen on a mobile phone. Each home button has an icon and color representing its respective area. The corresponding button icons on the mobile phone have the same pattern and color as their counterparts on the phone. The front casing 14 is a casing with an arc-shaped space that arches slightly to the left. The structure is shown in the diagram above. The left side of the front housing is the leading edge, and the right side is the rear housing 22. The left side of the leading edge is configured as a touch strip 1, and the right side of the rear housing is fitted with a screen strip 12. Because the cap is flipped over, the bottom surface of the front housing, i.e., the bottom housing 21, is on top, as shown in the diagram. The bottom housing 21 has a cut-out section in the middle, housing a lower-mounted camera 26, a front-mounted camera 16, and a rear-mounted camera 24. The back button 18 and the delete button 19 are respectively installed on the side edges 3 connecting the two ends of the front housing 14. The up button 17 is installed on the leading edge 15. Figure 3 As shown in the image.

[0024] The push-button switch utilizes a short travel and lightweight design. Mounting holes corresponding to the button positions are drilled on the top substrate 6 and the front edge. It is manufactured and installed using existing surface-mount thin switch technology and corresponding wiring, followed by encapsulation. The number of buttons on the top substrate 6 and the front edge of the front housing can be adjusted during design and manufacturing based on different models and usage requirements. The diagram illustrates several commonly used buttons.

[0025] The purpose of the up arrow key 17 in the image below is as follows: Because some cap-shaped screens are very narrow, they can only display one line of text. After the user finishes reading that line of text, pressing the up arrow key will immediately replace it with the next line of continuous text, allowing the user to read the entire short content line by line, facilitating timely processing.

[0026] The screen strip faces backward, towards the user's eyes. Human vision is divided into central and peripheral vision, or primary and lateral vision. The screen strip 12 is within the range of lateral vision perception, and the eyes are very sensitive to light. When there is an incoming call, WeChat message, or text message, the icon for that call, WeChat message, or text message will appear on the screen strip and light up. The user can perceive it immediately. The brightness of the icon's illumination is similar to that of a typical small appliance indicator light, and it is not dazzling.

[0027] The screen can display the time, so no matter how busy a user is, even if their hands are full or dirty, they can tell the time with just a glance upwards. This is much more convenient than taking out a phone or a watch to check the time.

[0028] The working principle of text-based replies is to use a narrow screen that can only display one line of text to reply to received WeChat messages. Available methods include voice reply, voice-to-text reply, text-based replies, and emoji replies. Text-based replies include both simple one-option text-based replies and multi-option text-based replies.

[0029] A simple response involves the incoming call icon flashing on the screen, accompanied by a unique ringtone. After seeing the caller's name, the user can then interact with the caller by tapping a button on the front edge 15 (let's call it the up button 17). The screen immediately displays three options: 1. Answer, 2. Not available to answer, 3. Hang up. To answer the call, the user taps the corresponding touch area on the back of the "Answer" button. When the finger touches or swipes on the front edge 15, a mouse-like icon moves synchronously on the screen 12, ensuring precise targeting. Hanging up or choosing "Not available to answer" is handled similarly.

[0030] For most text packages that require multiple selections, including those expressing blessings and attitudes (or simply statements of opinion), short phrases and sentences commonly used in different industries, professions, social interactions, work, studies, and daily life are categorized and grouped. For example, the blessing / congratulatory category is further divided into different group numbers for birthdays, college admissions, housewarmings, and business successes. Each group number contains multiple specific blessing / congratulatory phrases. The selection process uses a combination of on-screen display and touchscreen interaction, a click-display-click-display human-computer interaction method to select the desired text package step by step.

[0031] The following example illustrates how to select the text message "I agree". When a WeChat message or other message asking the user to express their opinion appears on the screen, pressing the up button on the front edge 15 enters the selection phase. The screen immediately displays options categorized as blessings, congratulations, expressing opinions, and work-related matters. Following the above method, if the user selects the "expressing opinions" option, the screen immediately displays two options: "agree" and "disagree". If the user selects the "agree" option, the screen immediately displays four options: "That's it", "Okay", "I agree", and "I wholeheartedly support". After the user selects the "I agree" option on the screen, the three words "I agree" are immediately sent to the recipient's phone.

[0032] For those who choose to reply with emojis, the emoji images in the emoji pack are pre-grouped and packaged according to the images of praise, like, dislike, disagreement, and opposition, and stored in the host repository in the same way as the text packs mentioned above.

[0033] The selection process for text packets in other group numbers follows the same method. When a user wants to make a call, pressing the "Phone" button below the top panel will immediately display the group number of the phone contact on the touchscreen, with five options: Special Group, Family Group, Friends Group, Colleague Group, and General Phone Contact Group. After the user taps the group number of the recipient on the touchscreen, multiple phone contact names within that group will immediately appear on the screen. The user can then tap the selected recipient's name on the touchscreen to initiate a voice call. Selecting options on the screen is quick and easy, requiring only a few taps.

[0034] The examples above illustrating the working principle of the text package are for ease of explanation. The listed options are all very short. In actual use, a text package can contain short texts consisting of several sentences, or even longer text packages, all of which can be categorized and grouped using a number. Users only need to remember the numbers of the multiple text packages.

[0035] Statement text packages are not limited to the text content listed above. They also include affirmative and negative words such as: yes, no, go, don't go, come, don't come, ahead of time, not ahead of time, stop, continue, etc.

[0036] For replies using emojis, follow the same method. First, categorize and group commonly used emojis; each group contains multiple specific emoji images. Select and send the emoji images from each group step by step, following the steps outlined above.

[0037] The above selection process can be implemented in two ways. One method involves following the pre-stored, categorized, and packaged text packets in the host repository step-by-step. The other method utilizes AI technology and strong memory capabilities. The system analyzes and judges the received WeChat messages and text content, determining which category of the categorized and packaged text packets the user needs to reply to. In this case, the system no longer displays the category to be selected but directly shows the group number of the determined category and a brief name for each group number for the user to choose from. After the user selects the chosen group number, the specific words, phrases, and sentences of the multiple text packets for that group number appear on the screen. The user then taps the touch strip corresponding to "I agree" on the screen to send "I agree" to the other party's phone, completing the response.

[0038] The system utilizes AI voice processing technology to provide convenient voice-to-text replies for WeChat messages, allowing users to complete responses with just a sentence or a few sentences. In public places where voice-to-text conversion is inconvenient, users can reply directly using the text pack.

[0039] The categorization, grouping, and packaging of text packets can all be handled by the system using AI technology. Users simply input voice commands, and the system uses AI to complete the task. Sometimes, the system's AI response to the text packets doesn't follow the categorization, grouping, and packaging methods described above. Instead, it quickly and directly displays the relevant sentences (words, phrases, and sentences) from the last of multiple options, transforming multiple options into a single selection for user convenience.

[0040] Figure 5 The diagram shows the installation and usage process of the real-time camera. Diagram A shows the installation positions of each camera within the front housing. Diagram B is a sectional view of Diagram A (AA section). Diagram C is a composite view of Diagram A (BB and CC sections).

[0041] In Figure A, the upper cross-section shows the top substrate 6, and below the top substrate 6 is the screen strip 12. Figure A shows... Figure 1 The direction to the right of the center cap 5 (rear to left, i.e., looking forward) is the direction to the left. The AA section at the center of the front housing 14 is the mounting position of the front-facing camera 16, which is facing away from the paper. The circle around the front-facing camera opening is drawn with a dotted line. The BB section is the mounting position of the bottom-facing camera 26. The bottom-facing camera 26's shooting opening faces downwards. The CC section is the rear-facing camera 24, whose shooting opening faces backwards, i.e., towards the user. The rear-facing camera is installed within the space of the front housing 14, leaving space for the shooting opening on the screen strip. The rear-facing camera can also be installed in the middle of the diagram, below the screen strip 12, without occupying screen strip display space. However, this installation method requires the front housing to protrude downwards, affecting the appearance. Alternatively, one rear-facing camera can be installed at each end of the diagram, improving the misalignment issue that occurs when only one camera is installed on the right. You can also slightly offset the right rear camera towards the center, which can improve the skewness issue, but the overall effect won't be significantly affected. The installation position of the rear camera should be determined based on the width of the screen band. If the screen band is very narrow, only one line of text can be displayed, so try to minimize or eliminate its occupation of the screen band's display area.

[0042] Figure B is a cross-sectional view of Figure A (AA). In Figure B, a front-facing camera is installed inside the front housing 14, with the camera opening 20 facing left (i.e., forward). A hole is made on the leading edge 15 to accommodate the camera opening. The touch strip at the camera opening location is a transparent material layer.

[0043] In Figure C, a lower-mounted camera 26 is installed in the front housing 14, which is the cut-out position shown in Figure A, with the camera aperture facing downwards. A circular hole is cut into the bottom housing 21 to accommodate the camera aperture. For ease of observation and explanation, the CC section position in Figure A and the sectional view of the rear camera are drawn on the same drawing. To show the position of the rear camera 24, it is drawn behind the lower-mounted camera 26. The outline above the lower-mounted camera is drawn above the outline above the lower-mounted camera, indicating that the rear camera is mounted slightly higher behind the lower-mounted camera. However, it clearly shows that the camera aperture of the rear camera 24 faces to the right, i.e., rearwards, and corresponding circular holes are cut into the back housing and screen band to accommodate the rear camera aperture. The shooting angle lines 33 of both cameras are drawn at 90-degree angles. This results in the intersection shooting area 34 of the shooting angle lines of the rear and lower cameras, i.e., the overlapping shooting area. The overlapping shooting areas of several cameras are processed and synthesized using existing technology to obtain a complete image, similar to the image processing and synthesis on a mobile phone. The two rear and lower cameras installed in front of the user's hat can record the user from head to toe and within a certain distance in front of the feet.

[0044] The working principle of real-time camera correction: Front, bottom, and rear cameras all fall under the category of real-time cameras, meaning that the recording by the real-time camera is actually synchronized with the user's operation. There are two ways to combine real-time cameras: one is a combination of a bottom camera and a rear camera (i.e., a rear camera group); the other is a combination of a bottom camera and a front camera (i.e., a front camera group). The following explanation, using the combination of a bottom camera and a rear camera as an example, will be illustrated in Figures B and C.

[0045] The system can promptly alert and correct any deviations or errors in the user's hand and foot movements, including operations, sports, training, writing, and tasks. To achieve this, template images and real-time images are required. Template images are correct and standard images. These are recorded and edited into concise, correct template images based on specific time periods in different industries, jobs, and daily life / work / study activities where real-time correction is necessary. These template images are stored in the corresponding repository on the host computer. The real-time camera array installed in the front housing of the cap plate can record the entire process of the user's operation when the user presses the real-time camera button on the top base plate during specific time periods. This is the real-time image. The system processes the real-time image synchronously and compares it with the corresponding template image stored in the repository. If any discrepancies are found, the system will illuminate a red light on the screen and provide a voice prompt indicating where the deviation occurred and what mistake was made, reminding the user to correct it immediately. This improves work efficiency and product quality.

[0046] In many cases, during manual operations or desk work, the target location is mostly within the recording range of the lower and rear cameras. However, in some manual operations, the user's hand extends forward or upward, and the target location extends far beyond the front shell of the cap, making it impossible for the rear camera to record the target location; only the lower camera can record a certain height area below the cap. In this situation, the system can use AI technology to analyze and determine the target location, including using the range of hand and finger movements. If the target location is found to be in front of the front shell, the system automatically activates the front camera, deactivates the rear camera, and uses both the front and lower cameras to record the target location, acquiring real-time imagery. The system then compares the real-time imagery with template images using the above method, with monitoring and comparison occurring simultaneously. If the user is handling or placing objects, especially important items with product labels or names, and the target location changes frequently between the front and rear of the cap, the system can activate all three cameras: front, rear, and lower. However, when extracting real-time images, the real-time image of the target location is always extracted and entered into the comparison process described above.

[0047] For student assignments, any obvious errors can be corrected promptly. The host repository also contains voice templates. When users are reciting texts or learning foreign languages, the system can promptly correct pronunciation and sentence errors, improving learning efficiency. The host repository also contains correction template images for the elderly, those with cognitive decline, and children. These are template images recording various scenarios and phenomena that are harmful to the health and safety of the elderly and children—a range of negative images. When children are out and about and like to eat random things, such as buying unsuitable foods in stores, the system will compare the desired food, its packaging, and name with the template images using real-time video. If it finds that the desired food matches a food in the template that is unsuitable for children, it will verbally remind the user not to eat it and record every food the child has eaten while out. When children play in dangerous places such as outdoors, at heights, or near water, or run on busy streets, or if a child falls and bleeds, or is bullied, the system will call the guardian and send relevant real-time video footage. When an elderly person falls or experiences a dangerous condition while walking, the system will notify their caregiver as described above. The aforementioned real-time and template images may seem insignificant to pedestrians, as most people simply step over them without any impact. However, for the elderly, including well-educated individuals, walking while contemplating something can be problematic. Even if they can see a small obstacle ahead, they may not notice it and end up kicking it, or in some cases, losing their balance and falling to the ground. Wearing the aforementioned hat will trigger a voice alert based on the user's walking speed and approach to the obstacle: "Obstacle ahead," thus preventing such incidents.

[0048] Figure 6 Figure 1 shows the button pressing diagram and touch strip pressing diagram on the top substrate. Figure 2 shows the button pressing diagram on the bottom of the top substrate. Figure 3 shows the button operation diagram on the bottom of the front housing. Figure 4 shows the touch strip pressing diagram on the front of the front housing.

[0049] In Figure A, pressing the main button 11 on the top substrate is inconvenient using either the index or middle finger; only the thumb 36 is convenient. The tip of the thumb 36 is placed under the desired main button 11, and the index finger 35 is placed on the corresponding position on the cap plate. A slight pinch between the two fingers presses the selected button. Humans can quickly and accurately pinch with their thumb and index finger, regardless of day or night, light or darkness—this is an instinct. The thumb and index finger, or the thumb and middle finger, can also work together.

[0050] Figure B shows the operation of pressing the button under the front housing. The thumb 36 is placed under the selected button under the front housing 14, and the index finger 35 is placed on the cap plate 5 corresponding to the thumb position. Pressing the selected button with the two fingers together completes the pressing.

[0051] Figure C illustrates the operation method of touching the touch strip. Place your thumb slightly below the selected text displayed on the screen strip, and place your index finger on the touch strip at the position corresponding to your thumb. Pressing the two fingers together will complete the tapping of the selected text on the screen strip.

[0052] The diagram shows a pinching and pressing method using the thumb and forefinger. This method is fast, accurate, and convenient. It also ensures the cap plate remains stable and can be operated with only one hand.

[0053] Figure 7 The image above shows another way to operate the touch strip. The image shows you directly pressing the selected position on the touch strip with your index finger (35°), which is also very convenient. This method sometimes causes the cap to press backward, and sometimes you need to use your other hand to stabilize the cap. However, as long as the user controls the amount of force, it can be operated with just one hand.

[0054] The image above shows the touch method for the touch strip, which is to use the index finger 35 of one hand to touch the touch strip 1 on the front of the cap plate. The index finger 35 moves left and right on the touch strip 1 according to the gesture shown in the image, which is equivalent to swiping left and right on the touch strip, similar to swiping left and right on a mobile phone screen. Once the user is familiar with the technique, the cap will only tilt slightly when the finger is pressed lightly, and this can be ignored. If the user applies more pressure, they can use their other hand to support the cap plate to stabilize it and prevent tilting. Touching the front of the cap plate has little impact on the cap, as the back of the cap plate rests against the user's forehead, making one-handed operation possible.

[0055] The image below shows the frame location. When a user takes a picture with the front-facing camera, a frame appears in the center of the screen strip behind the front casing, as seen by the user. The image appearing within this frame is the desired photograph. To take a picture, the user needs to adjust the position of the front panel (height, left, right) until the desired image is within the frame. Generally, a screen strip width (height) of 6mm or more is sufficient for viewing close-up images, while a screen strip height of 8mm or more allows for viewing distant images. After taking the picture, it can be transferred to the phone for enlarged viewing.

[0056] Figure 8 The image shows the main unit installation diagram. The main unit 38 has the basic circuit board functionality of a typical mobile phone. The screen strip 12 is the screen surface of the main unit 38. The screen strip 12 is very narrow, its horizontal length being only a section at the front center of the cap plate 5, slightly wider than a typical mobile phone screen. The area of ​​the screen strip is less than one-tenth the area of ​​a typical mobile phone screen. The casing of the main unit 38 is also made of plastic, unlike typical mobile phone casings which use sturdy, drop-resistant materials. Because the main unit is installed under the cap plate, it won't be damaged by the cap plate falling from any direction. Therefore, the main unit can be small in size and very lightweight.

[0057] In the diagram, a rectangular block extends from the right side of the top substrate 6, and the main unit is mounted on this rectangular block. The rectangular block is connected to the cap plate 5 using rivets 4. The home button 11, the camera on the front shell, the touch strip 1, the screen strip 12, and the power button 10, all located below the top substrate 6, are connected to the bottom plate inside the main unit casing using corresponding ribbon cables. Shallow grooves are provided on the top substrate at the corresponding locations for the ribbon cables to pass through. After installation, the ribbon cables are encapsulated. All ribbon cables are connected to the main unit's motherboard.

[0058] There are three possible mounting locations for the main unit 38. The first is to the right of the top substrate 6 in the diagram. This mounting location allows for a very lightweight main unit, making it suitable for installation in this first method.

[0059] The second installation location for the host is Figure 1 On the side edge 9 or front edge 7 of the cap. This installation method mounts the main unit to the right side of the top substrate 6, serving as a housing for Bluetooth and related wiring. Wireless transmission with the main unit is achieved via Bluetooth.

[0060] The third installation location for the main unit is in the user's pocket, or the user's mobile phone can be used as the main unit, with wireless transmission between the main unit and Bluetooth.

[0061] When designing and manufacturing hats, the hat itself, the front shell, and the top base plate are all manufactured as a set. The first step is to reduce the weight of the existing hat panels. If the hat panel needs to be covered with fabric on both sides, it can be designed and manufactured separately from the top base plate and the front shell. If the hat panel does not have fabric covering on both sides, the top base plate and the hat panel can be designed as a single unit. This results in a lighter weight. Since the hat panel is made of plastic, its own weight is also required to be low.

[0062] To make it easier to see the text or images displayed on the screen, users can temporarily pull the cap down slightly, tilting it downwards a bit. After viewing the content, simply return the cap to its original position. This is especially important for users who wear the cap high up and need to see the display. Generally, when the front of the cap is level with the eyebrows and doesn't obstruct the view, most users can quickly see the text and images displayed on the screen.

[0063] The installation of components on the helmet plate will inevitably increase its weight to some extent. Weight reduction is minimized during design and material selection. For helmet styles with only a slight increase in weight, users can choose a helmet with a slightly tighter brim. If the helmet has a tightening / loosening strap at the back, simply tighten it slightly. Alternatively, an adjustment knob for the helmet band can be located at the back opening for convenient and quick adjustment. This adjustment knob is smaller than those found on some helmets. Adjust the helmet band slightly tighter when in use and loosen it when not in use. Generally, once the helmet band tightness is adjusted appropriately, multiple adjustments are unnecessary.

[0064] Figure 9 The middle section is the navigation display diagram. The section with cross-sections is the top substrate 6. Below the top substrate 6 is the screen strip 12. (This is from...) Figure 2 The diagram of the China League Two (or China League Two) is viewed from the reverse side, i.e., from... Figure 2 The display screen shown when looking from right to left on the China League One map.

[0065] In Figure A, the area between two vertical lines in the middle of the screen strip 12 below the top substrate 6 is designated as the straight display area, i.e., straight area 40. To the left of straight area 40 is designated as the left-turn display area, i.e., left-turn area 39. To the right of straight area 40 is designated as the right-turn display area, i.e., right-turn area 42. An upward arrow, i.e., straight arrow 41, appears in straight area 40, indicating straight forward movement.

[0066] In Figure B, a left-turn arrow (arrow 43) appears within left-turn zone 39, indicating an upcoming left turn. A left-turn intersection light (light 44) is located to the right of left-turn zone 39, near the straight-ahead area. Left-turn intersection light 44 remains off until the user reaches the intersection. Left-turn arrow 43 becomes a flashing red cursor at the start of the navigation voice prompt to attract the user's attention. The brightness of the flashing cursor then decreases to a secondary cursor of the same color as the arrow line, meaning it is less bright, but the user can still clearly perceive the light. Following this, a voice prompt indicates the distance to be reached, similar to existing navigation voice prompts.

[0067] In Figure C, when the user is about to turn left, the left-turn intersection light 44 immediately turns yellow to indicate that the user is preparing to turn left. When the user is very close to or has reached the left-turn intersection, the left-turn intersection light immediately turns into a flashing green light, and a voice prompt is given: "Turn immediately."

[0068] In Figure D, a downward-pointing cursor appears in the straight-ahead area 40, which is the U-turn arrow 45, prompting the user to turn around immediately.

[0069] Figure E shows the right turn indicator. Similar to the left turn indicator, the right turn arrow 46 extends into the right turn zone 42. The right turn traffic light 46 is not illuminated.

[0070] In the image shown, similar to the left-turn prompt, when preparing to turn right, the right-turn traffic light illuminates yellow to remind the user. Subsequently, the right-turn traffic light flashes green to remind the user to turn immediately.

[0071] The diagram shows lane 48, indicating which lane to use when turning ahead. The vertical lines on both sides have shifted to the left and right, widening the straight-ahead area above, creating six lanes (48). An upward-pointing lane arrow (49) appears in the first lane on the right, indicating that the user should use that lane. After the user turns right, the straight-ahead area returns to its original width. For narrow screens where it's inconvenient to place straight-ahead or U-turn arrows in the middle, an indicator light is placed directly in the middle of the straight-ahead area. A red indicator light indicates a U-turn when there are no turn signals in the left or right turn areas. A green indicator light indicates going straight. For very narrow screens, left and right turn arrows can be omitted; instead, a row of appropriately spaced LED-like markers can be placed in the left and right turn areas, with the intersection lights slightly brighter than the LEDs. For example, a string of LED markers in the left-turn area indicates a left turn ahead. When approaching a left-turn intersection, the left-turn light will first illuminate yellow, and then turn green upon reaching the intersection, accompanied by a voice prompt to turn immediately. The right-turn indicator works the same as the left-turn indicator.

[0072] In the image above, a cursor representing an obstacle (image 50) appears in the straight-ahead area, accompanied by a voice prompt indicating how far ahead the obstacle is, alerting the user to be aware.
