[0022] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, where the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application and should not be construed as limiting the present application.
[0023] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 The wearable device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application includes a housing 20, a support member 30, a display 40, a light guide member 70, a light quantity adjustment member 80, a light sensor 14, a collimating member 92, a first sensor 112, a second sensor 114, and a controller 101.
[0024] The wearable device 100 is, for example, a Head Mount Display (HMD). Through the cooperation of the computing system and the optical system, after the user wears the head-mounted display device, optical signals can be sent to the user's eyes, thereby realizing different effects such as Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR).
[0025] The housing 20 is an external component of the wearable device 100, which plays a role in protecting and fixing the internal components of the wearable device 100. By surrounding the internal components with the housing 20, direct damage to these internal components caused by external factors can be avoided.
[0026] Specifically, in this embodiment, the housing 20 can be used to fix at least one of the display 40, the light guide component 70, and the trigger device 1001. In Figure 1 In the example, the housing 20 is formed with a receiving chamber 22, and the display 40, the light guide component 70, and the light quantity adjustment component 80 are received in the receiving chamber 22.
[0027] The housing 20 further includes a housing top wall 24, a housing bottom wall 26, and a housing side wall 28. A notch 262 is formed in the middle of the housing bottom wall 26 facing the housing top wall 24. Or rather, the housing 20 is generally in a "B" shape. When the user wears the wearable device 100, the wearable device 100 can be mounted on the user's nose bridge through the notch 262, which can not only ensure the stability of the wearable device 100 but also ensure the comfort of the user's wearing.
[0028] Please refer to Figure 4 , the wearable device 100 may further include a bracket 264, and the bracket 264 is disposed on the housing 20. Specifically, the bracket 264 is disposed in the notch 262 of the housing 20. The bracket 264 is detachably connected to the housing bottom wall 26. This can make the user's wearing more comfortable and improve the user experience. In addition, the bracket 264 can also standardize the posture of the user wearing the wearable device 100, so that after the wearable device 100 is worn, it is in the correct position.
[0029] In addition, the housing 20 can be formed by machining aluminum alloy through a Computerized Numerical Control (CNC) machine tool, or can be injection molded using Polycarbonate (PC) or a mixture of PC and Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene plastic (ABS). The specific manufacturing method and specific material of the housing 20 are not limited herein.
[0030] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the support member 30 is rotatably connected to the housing 20, and the support member 30 rotates relative to the housing 20 between a first position and a second position. When in the first position, the wearable device 100 is in a folded state, as shown in Figure 3 ; when in the second position, the wearable device 100 is in an unfolded state, as shown in Figure 4 .
[0031] When the user wears the wearable device 100, the wearable device 100 can be fixed to the user's head through the support member 30. In the example of Figure 1 , the support member 30 includes a first bracket 32, a second bracket 34 and an elastic band 36.
[0032] The first bracket 32 and the second bracket 34 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the housing 20. Specifically, the first bracket 32 and the second bracket 34 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the notch 262. Further, the first bracket 32 and the second bracket 34 are rotatably arranged on the edge of the housing 20. In other words, the first bracket 32 and the second bracket 34 are rotatably connected to the housing 20. When the user does not need to use the wearable device 100, the first bracket 32 and the second bracket 34 can be stacked close to the housing 20 for easy storage. When the user needs to use the wearable device 100, the first bracket 32 and the second bracket 34 can be unfolded to realize the supporting function of the first bracket 32 and the second bracket 34.
[0033] A first bending portion 322 is formed at one end of the first bracket 32 away from the housing 20, and the first bending portion 322 bends toward the bottom wall 26 of the housing. In this way, when the user wears the wearable device 100, the first bending portion 322 can be placed on the user's ear, so that the wearable device 100 is not easily slipped off.
[0034] Similarly, a second bending portion 342 is formed at one end of the second bracket 34 away from the housing 20. The explanation and description of the second bending portion 342 can refer to the first bending portion 322. To avoid redundancy, it will not be elaborated here.
[0035] The elastic band 36 is detachably connected to the first bracket 32 and the second bracket 34. In this way, when the user wears the wearable device 100 to carry out strenuous activities, the wearable device 100 can be further fixed through the elastic band 36 to prevent the wearable device 100 from loosening or even falling off during strenuous activities. It can be understood that in other examples, the elastic band 36 can also be omitted.
[0036] The display 40 includes a liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) display screen.
[0037] Please refer to again Figure 2, the light guide component 70 is separately arranged from the display 40. The light guide component 70 includes opposite first side 71 and second side 72. The light guide component 70 is used for importing the light generated by the display 40 and emitting it from the first side 71. The light quantity adjusting component 80 is arranged on the second side 72, and the light quantity adjusting component 80 is used for adjusting the ambient light quantity incident on the second side 72. The display 40 can be an optical engine, and the light guide component 70 can be a holographic optical waveguide sheet group. The specific forms of the display 40 and the light guide component 70 are not limited herein.
[0038] In related augmented reality devices, users can see the content displayed by the augmented reality device in a real scene through the augmented reality device. It can be understood that the ambient light and the light formed by the augmented display device enter the human eye simultaneously. If the brightness of the ambient light is relatively high, the contrast between the display brightness of the augmented reality device and the ambient brightness is too low, and it is difficult for the human eye to clearly see the display content of the augmented reality device. If the brightness of the ambient light is relatively low, the contrast between the display brightness of the augmented reality device and the ambient brightness is too high, and the display content of the virtual reality device is likely to stimulate the user, causing eye fatigue.
[0039] To solve the problem that the contrast between the display brightness of the augmented reality device and the ambient brightness is too high or too low, related technologies generally adjust the display brightness of the augmented reality device. However, when the ambient brightness is high, in order to improve the clarity of the image observed by the human eye, if the display brightness of the augmented reality device is increased, then the power consumption of the augmented reality device is relatively large, generating a large amount of heat and affecting the user experience.
[0040] In the wearable device 100 of the embodiment of the present application, the light quantity adjusting component 80 can adjust the ambient light quantity incident from the second side 72 and emitted from the first side 71, so as to reduce the influence of the ambient light quantity on the light generated by the display 40 and emitted from the first side 71, which is beneficial for the user to view the content displayed by the display 40 and improves the user experience.
[0041] It can be understood that when the user wears the wearable device 100, the human eye is located outside the first side 71. Therefore, the light generated by the display 40 can enter the human eye after being emitted from the first side 71, so that the user can observe the image displayed by the display 40.
[0042] The ambient light enters the human eye after passing through the light quantity adjusting component 80, the second side 72, and the first side 71 in sequence, so that the user can see the ambient things. Therefore, the light quantity adjusting component 80 of the present application can adjust the ambient light entering the human eye, thereby reducing the influence of the ambient light on the image observed by the human eye.
[0043] The wearable device 100 may further include a light sensor 14 and a collimating component 92. The light sensor 14 is connected to the controller 101. The light sensor 14 is used to detect the ambient brightness, and the controller 101 is used to adjust the light transmittance of the light quantity adjusting component 80 according to the ambient brightness, wherein the ambient brightness and the light transmittance of the light quantity adjusting component 80 are in an inverse correlation. In this way, the light transmittance of the light quantity adjusting component 80 can be automatically adjusted so that the user can clearly observe the content displayed on the display 40, and the user is not easily fatigued.
[0044] Further, when the ambient brightness increases, the light transmittance of the light quantity adjusting component 80 decreases; when the ambient brightness decreases, the light transmittance of the light quantity adjusting component 80 increases. This makes the contrast of the display screen of the display 40 within the comfortable viewing area of the human eye, improving the user experience.
[0045] The collimating component 92 is disposed between the display 40 and the light guide component 70, and the collimating component 92 is used to collimate the light generated by the display 40 and then output it to the light guide component 70. In this way, the collimating component 92 can turn the light generated by the display 40 into parallel light and then enter the light guide component 70, thereby reducing light loss.
[0046] The collimating component 92 may include a plurality of lenses, and the plurality of lenses stacked together can collimate light. The light generated by the display 40 enters the light guide component 70 after passing through the collimating component 92, and the light is totally reflected or diffracted in the light guide component 70 and then exits from the first side 71 of the light guide component 70.
[0047] The collimating component 92 is disposed between the display 40 and the light guide component 70, and the collimating component 92 is used to collimate the light generated by the display 40 and then output it to the light guide component 70. In this way, the collimating component 92 can turn the light generated by the display 40 into parallel light and then enter the light guide component 70, thereby reducing light loss.
[0048] The collimating component 92 may include a plurality of lenses, and the plurality of lenses stacked together can collimate light. The light generated by the display 40 enters the light guide component 70 after passing through the collimating component 92, and the light is totally reflected or diffracted in the light guide component 70 and then exits from the first side 71 of the light guide component 70.
[0049] In this embodiment, the first sensor 112 is disposed on the housing 20 and is used to output a first signal.
[0050] Specifically, the first sensor 112 is a pressure transducer. The pressure transducer can sense pressure signals and convert the pressure signals into electrical signals for output according to certain rules. The pressure transducer generally consists of a pressure-sensitive element and a signal processing unit. The pressure transducer includes, but is not limited to, piezoelectric pressure transducers, piezoresistive pressure transducers, capacitive pressure transducers, and electromagnetic pressure transducers.
[0051] Of course, the first sensor 112 can also be a temperature sensor, a carbon dioxide sensor, or other sensors. The specific form of the first sensor 112 is not limited herein.
[0052] In the Figure 1 example, the first sensor 112 is disposed on the bracket 264. Further, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the number of brackets 264 is two, and the two brackets 264 are arranged in parallel. One of the brackets 264 includes a bearing surface 2644 opposite to the other bracket 264, and the first sensor 112 is disposed on the bearing surface 2644.
[0053] In other words, the bracket 264 includes an opposite connecting surface 2642 and a bearing surface 2644. The connecting surface 2642 is connected to the housing 20, and the first sensor 112 is disposed on the bearing surface 2644.
[0054] In this way, the accuracy of the first signal output by the first sensor 112 can be improved. It can be understood that when the wearable device 100 is worn on the target object, the target object contacts the bearing surface 2644, and the first sensor 112 is disposed on the bearing surface 2644, so that the first sensor 112 can more accurately sense the target object, thereby improving the accuracy of the first signal.
[0055] Furthermore, the first sensor 112 can be disposed on a side of the bearing surface 2644 facing away from the connecting surface 2642. In other words, the first sensor 112 can be disposed outside the bracket 264, as shown in Figure 5 .
[0056] In this way, when the wearable device 100 is worn on the target object, the target object can directly contact the first sensor 112, thereby further improving the accuracy of detection by the first sensor 112.
[0057] Of course, the first sensor 112 can also be disposed on a side of the bearing surface 2644 facing the connecting surface 2642. In other words, the first sensor 112 can be disposed inside the bracket 264, as shown in Figure 6 .
[0058] In this way, the first sensor 112 can be protected by the bracket from moisture, dust and other contaminants from entering the first sensor 112 and causing damage to the first sensor 112.
[0059] In the illustrated example, the bracket 264 is a nose pad. When the user wears the wearable device 100, the bracket 264 abuts against the user's nose, and the pressure of the nose on the bracket 264 can be detected by the first sensor 112. The bearing surface 2644 is oval.
[0060] In other examples, the bracket 264 may not be a nose pad. When the user wears the wearable device 100, the bracket 264 can abut against other parts of the user, such as the forehead, eye sockets, etc. The bearing surface 2644 is circular, rectangular, triangular, racetrack-shaped or other shapes. The specific form of the bracket 264 and the specific shape of the bearing surface 2644 are not limited herein.
[0061] In addition, in the illustrated example, the number of brackets 264 is two. The number of the first sensors 112 is two, and each first sensor 112 is disposed on one bracket 264.
[0062] The number of the first sensors 112 can also be one, three, four, five or other numbers. The first sensors 112 can be all disposed on one bracket 264 or can be respectively disposed on two brackets 264. The number of the first sensors 112 and the specific positions of the settings are not limited herein.
[0063] Please refer to Figure 7 , the wearable device 100 may include an adjusting member 27, and the bracket 264 can be connected to the housing 20 through the adjusting member 27. In this way, by adjusting the position of the bracket 264 relative to the housing 20 through the adjusting member 27, the wearable device 100 can adapt to different users and can enable the user to wear the wearable device 100 more comfortably.
[0064] When the controller 101 receives an adjustment instruction, it can control the adjusting member 27 to adjust the position of the bracket 264 relative to the housing 20 according to the first signal output by the first sensor 112. In this way, the automatic adjustment of the position of the bracket 264 by the wearable device 100 can be realized, so that the position of the bracket 264 can adapt to the user.
[0065] Specifically, the user can input an adjustment instruction to the wearable device 100 in ways such as pressing a button, voice, gesture, etc. When the wearable device 100 receives the adjustment instruction, it can prompt the user to wear the wearable device 100. After the user wears the wearable device 100 well, the controller 101 can control the adjusting member 27 to adjust the position of the bracket 264 relative to the housing 20 according to the first signal so that the first signal is within a predetermined range.
[0066] In this way, the wearable device 100 can automatically control the adjusting member 27 to adjust the bracket 264 to a suitable position according to the first signal, without the user inputting an instruction to adjust the position of the bracket 264, which is simple and convenient and is beneficial to improving the user experience. Further, the predetermined range is the numerical range of the first signal when the user wears it more comfortably. The predetermined range can be measured in advance through experiments and stored in the memory of the wearable device 100. The user can modify the predetermined range.
[0067] Of course, the controller 101 can also control the adjusting member 27 according to the user input to adjust the position of the bracket 264 relative to the housing 20. In this way, the position of the bracket 264 can better meet the needs of the user, which is beneficial to improving the user experience. The user input can be a button, a gesture, etc.
[0068] In addition, the user can also manually adjust the adjusting member 27 to adjust the position of the bracket 264 relative to the housing 20. For example, the adjusting member 27 is a telescopic rod, and the user can push or pull the adjusting member to adjust the position of the bracket 264.
[0069] The specific manner in which the adjusting member 27 adjusts the bracket 264 is not limited herein.
[0070] In this embodiment, the second sensor 114 is disposed on the support member 30 and is used to output a second signal.
[0071] Similarly, the second sensor 114 can be a pressure transducer. Of course, the second sensor 114 can also be a temperature sensor, a carbon dioxide sensor, or other sensors. The specific form of the second sensor 114 is not limited herein.
[0072] As described above, the support member 30 includes a first bracket 32 and a second bracket 34. The second sensor 114 is disposed on the first bracket 32 and / or the second bracket 34. Specifically, one of the first bracket 32 and the second bracket 34 includes a support surface facing the other of the first bracket 32 and the second bracket 34, and the second sensor 114 is disposed on the support surface. In this way, when the user wears the support member 30, the second sensor 114 can detect that the wearable device 100 is worn.
[0073] In one example, the second sensor 114 is disposed on the first bracket 32. The first bracket 32 includes a first support surface 321 facing the second bracket 34, and the second sensor 114 can be disposed on the first support surface 321.
[0074] In another example, the second sensor 114 is disposed on the second bracket 34. The second bracket 34 includes a second support surface 341 facing the first bracket 32, and the second sensor 114 can be disposed on the second support surface 341.
[0075] In yet another example, the number of the second sensors 114 is plural. A part of the second sensors 114 is disposed on the first bracket 32, and another part of the second sensors 114 is disposed on the second bracket 34. The first bracket 32 includes a first support surface 321 facing the second bracket 34, and the second bracket 34 includes a second support surface 341 facing the first bracket 32. A part of the second sensors 114 is disposed on the first support surface 321, and another part of the second sensors 114 is disposed on the second support surface 341.
[0076] In Figure 1 the example, the number of the second sensors 114 is two. One second sensor 114 is disposed on the first support surface 321, and the other second sensor 114 is disposed on the second support surface 341. Specifically, one second sensor 114 is disposed on the first bent portion 322, and the other second sensor 114 is disposed on the second bent portion 342.
[0077] Thus, the second sensors 114 can detect the wearing state of the wearable device 100. It can be understood that, as described above, the first bent portion 322 and the second bent portion 342 can be mounted on the user's ears, and the first support surface 321 and the second support surface 341 can be close to the user, so that the wearable device 100 is not likely to slip off. Therefore, when the user wears the wearable device 100, the second sensors 114 can detect the user's wearing based on pressure, temperature or other factors, so as to determine the wearing state of the wearable device 100.
[0078] Please refer to Figure 8 , in other examples, the second sensors 114 can also be disposed at one end of the support member 30 close to the housing 20. When the support member 30 is in the second position, the second sensors 114 are resisted by the housing 20. In this way, the wearing state of the wearable device 100 can be determined based on the second signal.
[0079] It can be understood that the wearable device 100 is usually in the Figure 8 folded state as shown. When the user needs to use the wearable device 100, the user needs to move the support member 30 of the wearable device 100 from the illustrated first position to the second position, so that the wearable device 100 is in the Figure 4 expanded state as shown. In this way, the user can wear the wearable device 100 on the head through the support member 30.
[0080] Since when the support member 30 is in the first position, the second sensors 114 are not resisted by the housing 20; when the support member 30 is in the second position, the second sensors 114 are resisted by the housing 20. Therefore, in these two cases, the values of the second signals output by the second sensors 114 will be different. In this way, the wearing state of the wearable device 100 can be determined based on the second signal.
[0081] In addition, please refer to Figure 9 Figure 9 , the wearable device 100 is for being received in a receiving box 200 of the wearable device 100. In other words, the receiving box 200 is for receiving the wearable device 100. The receiving box 200 includes a supporting block 201, and when the wearable device 100 is received in the receiving box 200, the supporting block 201 abuts against a bracket 264 of the wearable device 100.
[0082] In this way, the wearable device 100 can be protected by the receiving box 200, and dust, moisture, etc. can be prevented from entering the wearable device 100 when the wearable device 100 is not in use. Moreover, when the wearable device 100 is received in the receiving box 200, the supporting block 201 can support the bracket 264, thereby restricting the position of the wearable device 100 in the receiving box 200 and preventing the wearable device 100 from shaking and colliding in the receiving box 200 and being damaged.
[0083] In addition, since a first sensor 112 provided on the bracket 264 is affected by the supporting block 201 and outputs a first signal. Therefore, based on the range of the signal value of the first signal, it can be determined whether the wearable device 100 is received in the receiving box 200 or not received in the receiving box 200.
[0084] In this embodiment, the controller 101 is configured to control the wearable device 100 to be in a first mode or a second mode according to the first signal and the second signal, and the power consumption of the wearable device 100 in the second mode is greater than the power consumption of the wearable device 100 in the first mode.
[0085] In this way, the controller 101 controls the wearable device 100 to be in the first mode or the second mode through the first signal output by the first sensor 112 and the second signal output by the second sensor 114. In this way, the user does not need to perform additional control actions, and the wearable device 100 can automatically control the working mode, which is simple, convenient and has a fast response. At the same time, controlling the working mode of the wearable device 100 based on the signals output by the two sensors can reduce false triggering, thereby ensuring accuracy.
[0086] Specifically, the working modes of the wearable device 100 include a shutdown mode, a low-power mode and a high-power mode. Further, the power consumption of the wearable device 100 in the shutdown mode is less than the power consumption of the wearable device 100 in the low-power mode; the power consumption of the wearable device 100 in the low-power mode is less than the power consumption of the wearable device 100 in the high-power mode.
[0087] In this embodiment, when the wearable device 100 is in the shutdown mode, most of the functional components of the wearable device 100 are turned off. Note that when the wearable device 100 is in the shutdown mode, the first sensor 112 and the second sensor 114 remain on. This can ensure continuous detection by the first sensor 112 and the second sensor 114, preventing the wearable device 100 from failing to respond in a timely manner when the subsequent mode of the wearable device 100 needs to be changed.
[0088] When the wearable device 100 is in the low-power mode, the high-power functional components of the wearable device 100 are in standby, and the high-power applications are locked and cannot run. The high-power functional components include at least one of the display 40 and the camera. The high-power applications include at least one of the gesture recognition application, the eye tracking application, the 3D model application, the scene reconstruction application, and the simultaneous localization and mapping application.
[0089] When the wearable device 100 is in the high-power mode, the wearable device 100 operates normally, and the high-power functional components are awakened from the standby state and operate normally. The high-power applications are unlocked and can run.
[0090] In this embodiment, the first mode is the shutdown mode, and the second mode is the low-power mode. It can be understood that in other embodiments, it can also be that the first mode is the shutdown mode and the second mode is the high-power mode; or, the first mode is the low-power mode and the second mode is the high-power mode. The specific forms of the first mode and the second mode are not limited herein. For the convenience of explanation and illustration, hereinafter, the example where the first mode is the shutdown mode and the second mode is the low-power mode will be used for description.
[0091] In this embodiment, the first signal is within the first preset range or the second preset range, and the signal value of the second preset range is greater than that of the first preset range; the second signal is within the third preset range or the fourth preset range, and the signal value of the fourth preset range is greater than that of the third preset range.
[0092] The controller 101 is configured to control the wearable device 100 to be in the first mode when the first signal is within the second preset range and the second signal is within the third preset range; and to control the wearable device 100 to be in the second mode when the first signal is within the first preset range and the second signal is within the third preset range.
[0093] In this way, the wearable device 100 is controlled to be in the first mode or the second mode according to the first signal and the second signal. It can be understood that controlling the working mode of the wearable device 100 according to the first signal and the second signal can reduce false triggering, thereby ensuring accuracy.
[0094] Specifically, the first preset range can be: less than the first preset threshold. The second preset range can be: greater than or equal to the first preset value. In this way, it is ensured that the first signal value is within one of the first preset range and the second preset range.
[0095] The first preset value is, for example, 0.1N, 0.3N, 0.5N, 1N, 1.2N. The specific value of the first preset value is not limited herein.
[0096] Similarly, the third preset range can be: less than the second preset threshold. The fourth preset range can be: greater than or equal to the second preset value. In this way, it is ensured that the first signal value is within one of the third preset range and the fourth preset range.
[0097] The second preset value is, for example, 0.1N, 0.3N, 0.5N, 1N, 1.2N. The specific value of the second preset value is not limited herein.
[0098] In addition, the controller 101 is configured to control the wearable device 100 to be in the third mode when the first signal is in the second preset range and the second signal is in the fourth preset range, and the power consumption of the wearable device 100 in the third mode is greater than the power consumption of the wearable device 100 in the second mode.
[0099] In this way, it is realized to control the wearable device 100 to be in the first mode, the second mode or the third mode according to the first signal and the second signal. The user does not need to perform additional control actions, and the wearable device 100 can automatically control the working mode, which is simple, convenient and has a fast response.
[0100] In this embodiment, the third mode is a high-power consumption mode. Except for the shutdown mode and the low-power consumption mode, controlling the wearable device 100 to be in the high-power consumption mode can give full play to the functions of the wearable device 100 and provide a good experience for the user.
[0101] In addition, the wearable device 100 switches between three modes according to the first signal and the second signal, which can save power while ensuring the user's needs. The modes of controlling the wearable device 100 according to the first signal and the second signal are shown in Table 1 below.
[0102] Table 1
[0103]
[0104] It can be understood that controlling the wearable device 100 to be in the second mode includes two situations. One situation is that the wearable device 100 switches from the first mode to the second mode. This can realize the transition from the first mode to the third mode, so that when it is necessary to control the wearable device 100 to be in the third mode according to the first signal and the second signal, the wearable device 100 can respond in time without the user waiting for a long startup time, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.
[0105] In another case, the wearable device 100 switches from the third mode to the second mode, thereby realizing the transition from the third mode to the first mode. This can reduce the power consumption of the wearable device 100 and save power.
[0106] That is to say, the setting of the second mode realizes the transition between the first mode and the third mode, avoiding the waste of time caused by frequent power on and off.
[0107] In this embodiment, the wearable device 100 is used to be worn on a target object or contained in a containing box 200. When the wearable device 100 is contained in the containing box 200, the first signal is in the second preset range and the second signal is in the third preset range, so that the wearable device 100 is in the first mode; when the wearable device 100 is not worn on the target object and the wearable device 100 is not contained in the containing box 200, the first signal is in the first preset range and the second signal is in the third preset range, so that the wearable device 100 is in the second mode; when the wearable device 100 is worn on the target object, the first signal is in the second preset range and the second signal is in the fourth preset range, so that the wearable device 100 is in the third mode.
[0108] In this way, based on the storage state and wearing state of the wearable device 100, the first signal and the second signal are within a preset range, so that when the subsequent controller 101 controls the wearable device 100 to be in a preset mode according to the first signal and the second signal, the mode of the wearable device 100 matches the storage state and wearing state of the wearable device 100, that is, matches the actual situation.
[0109] Specifically, the wearable device 100 includes a bracket 264 arranged on the shell, a first sensor is arranged on the bracket 264, and the storage box 200 is provided with a bracket 201 cooperating with the bracket 264. When the wearable device 100 is stored in the storage box 200, the bracket 201 contacts the first sensor 112 located on the bracket 264, so that the first signal is in the second preset range and the second signal is in the third preset range, thereby placing the wearable device 100 in the first mode; when the wearable device 100 is not worn on the target object and the wearable device 100 is not stored in the storage box 200, the bracket 201 is separated from the bracket 264, so that the first signal is in the first preset range and the second signal is in the third preset range, thereby placing the wearable device 100 in the second mode; when the wearable device 100 is worn on the target object, the target object contacts the first sensor 112 located on the bracket 264 and the second sensor 114 located on the support component 30, so that the first signal is in the second preset range and the second signal is in the fourth preset range, thereby placing the wearable device 100 in the third mode.
[0110] In this way, through the bracket 264 of the glasses case 200 and the target object, the signal values output by the first sensor 112 and the second sensor 114 are within a preset range, so that the mode of the wearable device 100 matches the accommodation state and the wearing state. In this way, it is simple and convenient to make the first sensor 112 and the second sensor 114 output signals within different ranges in different accommodation states and different wearing states.
[0111] It can be understood that when the wearable device 100 is not accommodated in the accommodation case 200 and not worn on the target object, the first sensor 112 is not touched by the supporting block 201 or the target object, and the first signal output by the first sensor 112 is within the first preset range; when the wearable device 100 is accommodated in the accommodation case 200 or worn on the target object, the supporting block 201 or the target object touches the first sensor 112, and the first signal output by the first sensor 112 is within the second preset range.
[0112] In other words, in this embodiment, the first sensor 112 outputs a first signal within the first preset range because it is not touched; the first sensor 112 outputs a first signal within the second preset range because it is touched.
[0113] Similarly, when the wearable device 100 is not worn on the target object, the second sensor 114 is not touched by the target object, and the second signal output by the second sensor 114 is within the third preset range; when the wearable device 100 is worn on the target object, the second sensor 114 is touched by the target object, and the second signal output by the second sensor 114 is within the fourth preset range;
[0114] In other words, in this embodiment, the second sensor 114 outputs a second signal within the third preset range because it is not touched; the second sensor 114 outputs a second signal within the fourth preset range because it is touched.
[0115] In addition, in this embodiment, the controller 101 is configured to control the wearable device 100 to be in the first mode after the wearable device 100 has been in the second mode for a preset duration. In this way, the power consumption can be further reduced and the power can be saved. It can be understood that after the wearable device 100 has been in the second mode for a preset duration, it can be inferred that the user no longer uses the wearable device 100, so the wearable device 100 can be controlled to be in the first mode with lower power consumption, thereby further saving power.
[0116] Specifically, the preset duration is, for example, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 8 minutes, 10 minutes, 12 minutes. The specific value of the preset duration is not limited here.
[0117] In addition, in Figure 8In the example, when the wearable device 100 is housed in the housing box 200, the supporting block 201 abuts against the first sensor 112 located on the bracket 264 and the housing 20 does not abut against the second sensor 114, so that the first signal is within the second preset range and the second signal is within the third preset range, and further the wearable device 100 is in the first mode;
[0118] When the wearable device 100 is not worn on the target object and the wearable device 100 is not housed in the housing box 200, the supporting block 201 is separated from the bracket 264 and the housing 20 does not abut against the second sensor 114, so that the first signal is within the first preset range and the second signal is within the third preset range, and further the wearable device 100 is in the second mode;
[0119] When the wearable device 100 is worn on the target object, the target object abuts against the first sensor 112 located on the bracket 264 and the housing 20 abuts against the second sensor 114, so that the first signal is within the second preset range and the second signal is within the fourth preset range, and further the wearable device 100 is in the third mode.
[0120] In this way, through the housing 20 and the supporting member 30, the signal value output by the second sensor 114 is within the preset range, and further the mode in which the wearable device 100 is located matches the housing state and the wearing state. In this way, it is simple and convenient to make the second sensor 114 output signals within different ranges in different housing states and different wearing states.
[0121] Please refer to Figure 9 , the wearable component 1000 of the embodiment of the present application includes a housing box 200 and the above-mentioned wearable device 100, and the housing box 200 is used to house the wearable device 100.
[0122] The housing box 200 includes a supporting block 201. When the wearable device 100 is housed in the housing box 200, the supporting block 201 abuts against the bracket 264 of the wearable device 100.
[0123] In this way, the user does not need to perform additional control actions, and the wearable device 100 can automatically control the working mode, which is simple, convenient and has a fast response. At the same time, controlling the working mode of the wearable device 100 based on the signals output by the two sensors can reduce false triggering, thereby ensuring accuracy.
[0124] Specifically, the housing box 200 can be injection molded using polycarbonate (PC) or a mixture of PC and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene plastic (ABS). The specific manufacturing method and specific material of the housing box 200 are not limited herein.
[0125] The shape of the supporting block 201 is adapted to the shape of the bracket 264. In Figure 9 In the example of Figure 9 , the supporting block 201 is triangular. In other examples, the supporting block 201 can also be oval, strip-shaped or other shapes. The specific shape of the supporting block 201 is not limited herein.
[0126] The receiving box 200 may include an elastic member. The elastic member is, for example, foam, spring, etc. This can improve the seismic resistance of the receiving box 200 and prevent the wearable device 100 received in the receiving box 200 from being damaged by impact.
[0127] In summary, the present application discloses a wearable device 100 and a wearable assembly 1000. The wearable device 100 includes a housing 20, a supporting member 30, a first sensor 112, a second sensor 114 and a controller 101. The supporting member 30 is connected to the housing 20. The first sensor 112 is disposed on the housing 20, and the first sensor 112 is configured to output a first signal. The second sensor 114 is disposed on the supporting member 30, and the second sensor 114 is configured to output a second signal. The controller 101 is configured to control the wearable device 100 to be in a first mode or a second mode according to the first signal and the second signal, and the power consumption of the wearable device 100 in the second mode is greater than the power consumption of the wearable device 100 in the first mode.
[0128] In this way, the user does not need to perform additional control actions, and the wearable device 100 can automatically control the working mode, which is simple, convenient and has a fast response. At the same time, controlling the working mode of the wearable device 100 based on the signals output by the two sensors can reduce false triggering, thereby ensuring accuracy.
