[0039] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0040] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "center", "up", "down", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0041] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0042] Example 1

[0043] This embodiment provides an electronic building block, such as Figure 1 -2, including:

[0044] The building block housing 10 , each buildable surface of the building block housing 10 is provided with a fitting detection module 11 , and the fitting detection module 11 is used to detect the fitting state of the corresponding surface with other building block housings.

[0045] In this embodiment, the electronic building blocks can be traditional building block cubes or specially shaped cubes, such as Metatron's Cube. By arranging the electronic building blocks in different shapes, users can increase their interest in building with building blocks and indirectly improve their hands-on skills. The building block housing 10 can be made of either wood or plastic, without limitation. Users can choose based on their needs. For example, plastic electronic building blocks can be used for portability, while wooden electronic building blocks can be chosen for practicality and long-term use.

[0046] Among them, a fit detection module 11 is provided on the buildable surface of each building block shell 10. The fit detection module 11 can be installed on the buildable surface of the building block shell 10 by gluing; or the buildable surface of the building block shell 10 can be processed and the fit detection module 11 can be embedded in the buildable surface of the building block shell. By gluing the fit detection module 11 to the buildable surface of the building block shell 10, it is ensured that the fit state of the corresponding surface with other building block shells 10 can be detected; and by embedding the fit detection module 11 in the buildable surface of the building block shell 10, the beauty and flatness of the electronic building blocks can be ensured. In addition, the use of gluing to set the fit detection module 11 also needs to meet the firmness of the electronic building blocks during the building of the building blocks.

[0047] The control module 12 is arranged inside the building block housing 10 and is in communication with the fitting detection module 11. The control module 12 is used to generate corresponding building block construction prompt data based on the detection signal received from the fitting detection module 11. The detection signal includes identification information of the surface on which the fitting operation is performed. The identification information can be the ID information of the surface of the corresponding electronic building block to be fitted or the ID information of the corresponding electronic building block to be fitted. The control module 12 obtains the ID information of the two to select the corresponding building block construction plan, and then generates the corresponding building block construction prompt data based on the building block construction plan and the determined building block information. For example, the building block construction prompt data can be "Place building block No. 2 on building block No. 3"; for example, "Place the square building block on the cylindrical building block."

[0048] In this embodiment, the control module 12 is connected to the fitting detection module 11, and the connection method can be a wired connection or a wireless connection. A building block plan corresponding to the detection signal is pre-set in the control module 12, and a detection signal is generated based on the fitting action between the fitting detection modules 11, and the building block plan corresponding to the detection signal is obtained, and building block prompt data is generated according to its building block plan. The fitting detection module 11 can be a magnetic switch. When the magnetic switches are placed close to each other, they can not only firmly dock the electronic building blocks, but also use the on-off between the magnetic attraction to form a trigger signal, so that the control module 12 judges the identification status of the electronic building block and sends and receives specific information about the relative electronic building block according to the status of the acquired detection signal (for example, receiving the digital ID of the fitting surface of the relative electronic building block and the digital ID of the relative electronic building block); the fitting detection module 11 can also be a radio frequency card and a radio frequency identification device. The radio frequency identification device is set on each buildable surface of each electronic building block. When each buildable surface is fitted with the buildable surface of the corresponding electronic building block, the radio frequency identification device can identify the corresponding electronic building block and the identification information of the surface where the fitting operation is performed, thereby generating a detection signal.

[0049] By installing a fit detection module 11 on each surface of the building block housing 10, the fit detection module 11 is connected to a control module 12 disposed within the building block housing 10. Based on the fit detection operation between the building block housings 10, a fit detection signal is generated. The control module 10 collects the signal from the fit detection module 11 and generates building block prompts based on the collected fit detection signals. The user then proceeds to build the building blocks according to the prompts. This encourages the user to develop an interest in building blocks, improves their hands-on skills, and further contributes to the development of their intellectual abilities.

[0050] Optionally, in this embodiment, the electronic building block further includes:

[0051] The fit detection switch is connected to the fit detection module 11 and is used to activate / deactivate the fit detection module 11. The fit detection switch can be located on any surface of the electronic building block and can be a touch switch or a conventional switch. If a conventional switch is used, a hollow placement area should be provided on the electronic building block housing to house the conventional switch, ensuring the aesthetics of the entire electronic building block. Furthermore, the fit detection switch allows users to switch between traditional and electronic building block modes, enhancing user interest.

[0052] The communication module is connected to the control module 12 and is used to communicate with the external terminal 14. The communication module can be hardware such as WIFI and Bluetooth. The communication module is set to be able to transmit data to the electronic module / device. The communication module can also be set in the building block housing 10 and connected to the control module 12. The communication module is also used to receive and send data information sent by the external terminal or the control module 12. The data information may include the building plan of the electronic building blocks and the identification information of the electronic building blocks. The external terminal can be an electronic device such as a mobile phone, a computer, or a tablet computer. After the user obtains the data fed back by the control module 10, the user can check the usage habits and frequency of the electronic building blocks according to the data returned by the control module 10. In addition, the data returned by the control module 10 can also be used to perform graphic demonstrations or graphic prompts of the building plan of the electronic building blocks through the external terminal.

[0053] In addition, the identification information of the surface suitable for the bonding operation includes: the ID information of the electronic building block, the ID information of each buildable surface of the electronic building block, and the ID information of the control module 12 in the corresponding electronic building block. This can achieve a variety of electronic building block building plans, and can correctly identify electronic building blocks and use the correct electronic building block building plan to further guide users in building blocks, enhance users' interest, and promote users' hands-on skills.

[0054] The power supply module is used for power supply, wherein the power supply module can be one or more, and is set in the control module 12. The power supply module can use a low-power battery to ensure that the electronic building block can work for a long time. The power supply module can also be a lithium battery.

[0055] Furthermore, by detecting the alignment of multiple electronic building blocks, charging of multiple electronic building blocks is achieved. This charging method can be achieved through short-distance wireless charging using a magnetic induction coil, or by connecting multiple batteries using magnetic attraction, allowing a single electronic building block to charge multiple electronic building blocks. A communication interface is connected to the control module 12 and is used to perform system upgrades on the control module 12. The communication interface is a traditional data transmission interface and is not limited here.

[0056] By providing a communication interface for the electronic building blocks, subsequent upgrading of the electronic building blocks is facilitated, thereby increasing users' interest in using the electronic building blocks. Furthermore, upgrading the electronic building blocks can further attract users to use the electronic building blocks more frequently and improve their hands-on ability.

[0057] Example 2

[0058] This embodiment provides an educational toy, such as Figure 3As shown, it includes: at least a plurality of electronic building blocks provided by embodiment 1. The user can use a plurality of electronic building blocks to build blocks, and perform a fit detection through the fitting detection module 11 on the surface of the electronic building blocks to determine the numbers of the electronic building blocks that fit and the information of the surfaces of the electronic building blocks that fit, and send the numbers of the electronic building blocks and the information of the surfaces of the electronic building blocks that fit, that is, the detection signal in embodiment 1. It is sent to the control module 12. The control module 12 generates a corresponding electronic building block building plan based on the information obtained and generates electronic building block building prompt information based on the information of the surfaces of the electronic building blocks that fit, wherein the prompt information for the electronic building block building can be voice information or light prompt information. For example, a voice module and a speaker can be set in the electronic building block. After the building block building plan is generated, the user can select the plan to be built through voice commands. After the building block plan to be built is determined, the user can build it step by step according to the voice prompt information. Alternatively, an LED prompt light can be set on each fitting surface of the electronic building blocks to prompt the user how to build the blocks by turning the LED on and off, thereby increasing the user's interest in building the blocks and further improving the user's hands-on ability, which is beneficial to intellectual development.

[0059] Optionally, in this embodiment, the control modules 12 within individual electronic building blocks can recognize each other and exchange data through a bonding operation or through a communication module within the electronic building block. Optionally, in this embodiment, the educational toy can also be provided with a charging interface or a data upgrade interface to meet user needs. The provision of an upgrade interface improves compatibility between electronic building blocks.

[0060] Example 3

[0061] This embodiment provides an educational toy, such as Figure 4 -5, including:

[0062] Multiple electronic building blocks, each buildable surface of each electronic building block housing 10 is provided with a fit detection module 11, the fit detection module 11 being used to detect the fit between the corresponding surface and the other building block housings 10; a main control module 13, the main control module 13 being provided inside the housing of any electronic building block among the multiple electronic building blocks, and being used to generate corresponding building block building prompt data based on the detection signal received from the fit detection module 11, the detection signal including identification information of the surface to be fitted. Each electronic building block is provided with a control module 12, which is respectively connected 15 to the main control module 13 and the fit detection module 11 on the corresponding electronic building block.

[0063] The difference between this embodiment and the second embodiment is that the main control module 13 provided in this embodiment is the initial building block for electronic building blocks. By fitting it with other building blocks, the main control module 13 obtains detection signals from other electronic building blocks. The main control module 13 determines the building plan based on the detection signals and helps users to build blocks through prompt information, thereby improving their hands-on skills and enhancing their intelligence.

[0064] Optionally, the main control module 13 can be configured through an upgrade interface provided on the electronic building block, or through an external terminal 14. The main control module 13 is also connected to a communication connection 15 with other control modules 12. By providing the main control module 13, it is easier for users to build electronic building blocks and improve their hands-on skills.

[0065] Optionally, a fit detection switch is connected to the fit detection module 11 and is used to enable / disable the fit detection module 11; by setting the fit detection switch, switching between traditional building blocks and electronic building blocks can be achieved, so as to help users with weak hands-on ability to gradually exercise their hands-on ability, which is beneficial to the development of intelligence and can gradually enhance the user's interest in building blocks.

[0066] Optionally, a communication module is connected to the control module 12 and is used to communicate with an external terminal 14. The communication module can be an electronic module equipped with a data transmission protocol such as WIFI or Bluetooth. The communication module can also be located within the building block housing 10 and connected to the control module 12. The communication module is also used to receive and send data information sent by the external terminal 14 or the control module 12. The data information may include the building plan of the electronic building blocks and the identification information of the electronic building blocks. The external terminal 14 can be an electronic device such as a mobile phone or a computer.

[0067] Optionally, a power supply module is used to provide power. By setting up the power supply module, the electronic building blocks can be put into a long standby state to meet the needs of users for use at any time.

[0068] Optional, such as Figure 5 As shown, there are two types of electronic building blocks in the dotted box. One is an electronic building block that communicates with the external terminal 14 through the main control module 13 and is connected to the external terminal 14 through the control module 12. Both can obtain the electronic building block construction plan sent by the external terminal 14 and prompt the user to build the building blocks according to the identification information of the electronic building blocks, thereby improving the user's hands-on ability. The difference between the two is that one is a single main control module 13 that exchanges data with the external terminal, and the other is a multiple control module 12 that interacts with the external terminal. Figure 5The lightning symbol in the figure schematically represents the communication connection between the electronic building block and the external terminal.

[0069] Furthermore, data sent by the communication module or control module 12 / main control module 13 can be uploaded to a cloud database, where the corresponding data is retrieved and sent to an external terminal or returned to the control module 12 / main control module 13, where the retrieved data is displayed. The cloud database stores electronic building block upgrade packages, along with real-time updated electronic building block ID information and electronic building block buildable surface ID information, making it easier for users to operate the electronic building blocks.

[0070] Example 4

[0071] This embodiment provides a method for building electronic building blocks. Figure 6 -7, including the following steps:

[0072] S10, when a detection signal from any fitting detection module is received, corresponding building block construction prompt data is generated according to the detection signal.

[0073] When a user obtains multiple electronic building blocks, signal detection is performed between each electronic building block to determine whether there is a bonding operation of the electronic building block bonding surface, and then the building block building data is generated according to the bonding data (detection signal) to guide the user on how to build the building blocks.

[0074] The electronic building block construction prompt method provided by the present invention obtains detection signals emitted by a fit detection module, identifies the acquired signals, generates a building block plan from a preset plan based on the identified fit surface, and provides building block prompt data to the user based on the building plan and the currently obtained fit surface identification results. This helps users with weak hands-on skills and spatial imagination, for whom traditional building blocks are not conducive, improve their hands-on skills.

[0075] In addition to the above-mentioned step S10, the electronic building block construction method in this embodiment further includes:

[0076] S20, sending the building block construction prompt data to the external terminal via the communication module. The building block construction prompt data may be a prompt for the user to choose what shape of electronic building blocks to place.

[0077] According to the electronic building block construction method proposed in this embodiment, a specific example can also be as follows: when a user obtains multiple electronic building blocks and turns on the fit detection switch to build electronic building blocks, the user can first place the first electronic building block, and then fit the second electronic building block to the surface of the first electronic building block. When the control module in the corresponding electronic building block detects the fit data, the control module pre-searches the building block construction plan stored inside the control module. When it detects that there is a fitting data plan that meets the requirements, it outputs the corresponding electronic building block construction plan. The specific electronic building block is provided with a voice prompt function, which guides the user to build the building blocks one by one through the voice prompt function. In addition, before implementing the building block construction, if the voice prompt indicates that there are multiple building block construction plans, the user can select the corresponding building block construction plan by issuing a voice command, for example, "Please select the plan you need to build between building a house and a table." Or if the corresponding building plan cannot be found in the control module, the electronic building block can connect to the cloud database through the communication module to obtain the building block construction plan. Optionally, in addition to communicating with the cloud, the communication module in the electronic building block can also communicate with an external terminal. The user can use the external terminal to obtain the building plan of the electronic building block, and the plan can be displayed in the external terminal in the form of a video or a split picture.

[0078] The electronic building block construction prompt method provided by the present invention facilitates users to intuitively obtain the building block construction prompt data by sending the building block construction prompt data to an external terminal through a communication module, thereby further improving the user's hands-on ability.

[0079] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clarity of explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that other variations or modifications based on the above descriptions are possible. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here. Obvious variations or modifications arising therefrom remain within the scope of protection of the present invention.
