[0031] Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments of the present application, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers are used in the drawings and the description to refer to the same or like parts.

[0032] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a display system according to an embodiment of the present application. Please refer to Figure 1 , the display system 50 of the present embodiment comprises a head-mounted device 52 and a wireless position marker 100. The display system 50 is applied in a virtual reality system, an augmented reality system, a mixed reality system or other systems, for example. The wireless position marker 100 is used to wirelessly communicate with the head-mounted device 52. The head-mounted device 52 is adapted to be worn on a user's head and can provide a display screen for the user to watch or enable the user to see computer images overlaid on the real environment.

[0033] The wireless position marker 100 of the present embodiment comprises a rigid body 110, a plurality of point light sources 120, a motion sensor 130 and a wireless transmission module 140. The plurality of point light sources 120 are fixed on the rigid body 110 at a plurality of positions. The rigid body 110 is mainly composed of a material that hardly produces elastic or plastic deformation. Therefore, the relative positions between the plurality of point light sources 120 fixed on the rigid body 110 can remain unchanged.

[0034] The motion sensor 130 is configured in the rigid body 110 to sense the motion of the rigid body 110 and generate a motion information. The motion sensor 130 can be an inertial measurement unit (IMU). For example, the motion sensor 130 can be a six degrees of freedom IMU (6-DOF IMU) or a nine degrees of freedom IMU (9-DOF IMU). The 6-DOF IMU is capable of outputting linear acceleration values of X, Y, and Z axes and angular velocity values of X, Y, and Z axes. The 9-DOF IMU is capable of outputting linear acceleration values of X, Y, and Z axes, angular velocity values of X, Y, and Z axes, and magnetic force values of X, Y, and Z axes. In more detail, the 6-DOF IMU includes a three-axis accelerometer and a three-axis gyroscope. The 9-DOF IMU includes a three-axis accelerometer, a three-axis gyroscope, and a three-axis magnetometer. The wireless transmission module 140 is configured in the rigid body 110 and electrically connected to the motion sensor 130 to wirelessly transmit the motion information to the head-mounted device 52.

[0035] Figure 2 is Figure 1 The wireless position calibration device of the present application only retains the schematic diagram of the point light source visible under the perspective. Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The head-mounted device 52 includes at least one image capturing module 52A. In the present embodiment, multiple image capturing modules 52A are taken as an example, but the present application is not limited thereto. The image capturing module 52 is used to capture a pattern composed of the point light source 120. In Figure 2In this embodiment, the rigid body 110 is made of a material that is opaque, so the image capture module 52A can only capture the pattern formed by the dot light sources 120 that are not blocked by the rigid body 110. In other words, the dot light sources 120 are located on the surface of the rigid body 110. In other embodiments, the rigid body 110 has a transparent shell, and the dot light sources 120 are located below the transparent shell, so the image capture module 52A can capture the pattern formed by the dot light sources 120 located below the transparent shell. In this embodiment, the dot light sources 120 can be light emitting diodes, organic light emitting diodes, or other dot light sources. The dot light sources 120 can be used to emit visible light or invisible light, where the invisible light can be infrared light, as long as the image capture module 52A can capture the light emitted by the dot light sources 120. In addition, although this embodiment uses dot light sources 120 as an example, in other embodiments, linear light sources or other light sources of any shape can also be used, as long as the image capture module 52A can capture and determine the changes in the pattern formed by the light sources. The image capture module 52A can be a visible light or invisible light lens, where the invisible light can be infrared light.

[0036] According to the pattern captured by the image capture module 52A and the motion information provided by the wireless position calibration device 100, the head-mounted device 52 can calculate the position of the wireless position calibration device 100 relative to the head-mounted device 52. The "position" mentioned here can cover a variety of information, which is illustrated below, but the present application is not limited thereto.

[0037] Because the relative positions between the plurality of point light sources 120 on the rigid body 110 are fixed and can be obtained in advance, the head-mounted device 52 can determine the pose of the wireless position marker 100 relative to the head-mounted device 52 by comparing the pattern of the point light sources 120 captured with the relative positions between the point light sources 120 stored in advance. In this way, the image viewed by the user in the head-mounted device 52 can be correspondingly changed or other feedback can be made. In addition, the head-mounted device 52 can determine the orientation of the wireless position marker 100 relative to the head-mounted device 52 according to the orientation of the pattern captured. Furthermore, although the frequency of image capture by the image capture module 52A is much lower than the sensing frequency of the motion sensor 130, the head-mounted device 52 can determine the orientation and pose change of the wireless position marker 100 relative to the head-mounted device 52 according to the motion information provided by the motion sensor 130 and the image data captured by the image capture module 52A. Therefore, the head-mounted device 52 can calculate the distance, speed, acceleration, pose change, and three-axis coordinates in space of the wireless position marker 100 relative to the head-mounted device 52 based on these two kinds of data. In other words, the head-mounted device 52 can calculate the three-axis coordinate values and three-axis angle values of the wireless position marker 100 relative to the head-mounted device 52 in space based on these two kinds of data.

[0038] Figure 3 is Figure 1 a cross-sectional view of the wireless position marker 100 fixed to the wrist of a user. Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the rigid body 110 has an inner concave surface 112. The rigid body 110 includes a head portion 110A, a connecting portion 110B, and a tail portion 110C. The connecting portion 110B is connected to the head portion 110A and the tail portion 110C. In this embodiment, the opposite sides of the connecting portion 110B are connected to the head portion 110A and the tail portion 110C, respectively. In general, the wireless position marker 100 is fixed to the user's limbs, so the wireless position marker 100 with the inner concave surface 112 can better fit the user's limbs. In other words, the inner concave surface 112 can be used to face and contact the bound object or the user's limbs.

[0039] In this embodiment, when the rigid body 110 is fixed to a user's wrist 20, the inner surface 112 at the tail portion 110C abuts against the back surface 22 of the wrist 20, and the inner surface 112 at the head portion 110A abuts against the inner side surface 24 of the wrist 20. Since neither the inner surface 26 of the back surface 22 of the wrist 20 nor the other side surface of the inner side surface 24 of the wrist 20 abuts against the rigid body 110, the rigid body 110 can be stably fixed to the wrist 20 regardless of the thickness of the user's wrist 20, i.e. regardless of whether the length or the width of the cross-sectional shape of the user's wrist 20 is larger. In this embodiment, the rigid body 110 is substantially L-shaped. In other embodiments, the rigid body 110 can be arc-shaped, L-shaped, or a notched ring.

[0040] In this embodiment, the head portion 110A has an end surface 112B. At least one of the point light sources 120 is located at the end surface 112B. When the rigid body 110 is fixed to the user's wrist 20, the end surface 112B is adjacent to the inner surface 26 of the user's wrist 20. From Figure 3 It can be seen that the cross-sectional area of the head portion 110A is larger than that of the tail portion 110C.

[0041] In this embodiment, the wireless position calibration device 100 further comprises a coupling member 150 for fixing the rigid body 110 to a target. The target here is the wrist 20, but can also be an object, without being limited to the present application. The coupling member 150 in this embodiment is exemplified by a watchband, but can also be other coupling members, and coupled by a clasp, a clasp groove, a screw hole, or other means. The coupling member 150 is preferably designed to have a variable length, but is not limited to the present application. However, the rigid body 110 can also be fixed to the user's body directly via a glove, an arm sleeve, a hat, a shoe cover, a leg cover, a bracelet, or a garment, without being limited to the present application. Similarly, the rigid body 210 can also be fixed to a racket, a bat, a toy gun, or other handheld objects via a clasp, a clasp groove, a screw hole, or other structures, to provide position data of the object.

[0042] Figure 4A is a schematic view of the wireless position calibration device of Figure 1 from another perspective. Figure 4B is a schematic view of the wireless position calibration device of Figure 4A only showing the point light sources visible from this perspective. Reference is made to Figure 2 , Figure 4A and Figure 4BAs can be seen, when the posture of the wireless position calibration device 100 changes relative to the head-mounted device 52, the pattern composed of the point light sources 120 that the image capture module 52A can capture also changes. By comparing the relative positions between the point light sources 120 obtained in advance with the pattern captured, the head-mounted device 52 can determine the posture of the wireless position calibration device 100 relative to the head-mounted device 52.

[0043] Figure 5A is a schematic view of the wireless position calibration device of Figure 1 from another perspective. Figure 5B is a schematic view of the wireless position calibration device of Figure 1 from yet another perspective. As can be seen from Figure 5A , the distribution positions of the point light sources 120 on the rigid body 110 in this embodiment can be irregular, and the distribution density can also vary according to the tracking requirements. In addition, as can be seen from Figure 5B , the point light sources 120 in this embodiment are only distributed on the outer surface of the rigid body 110, and the inner concave surface 112 is not configured with point light sources 120.

[0044] Figure 6 is a schematic view of the wireless position calibration device of Figure 1 fixed to the wrist of a user. Figure 1 The image captured by the image capture module 52A of the head-mounted device 52 must contain at least four point light sources 120 to calculate the position data and the posture data (angle) of the wireless position calibration device 100. In short, four point light sources 120 can form a stereoscopic framework to compare with the relative positions between the point light sources 120 stored in advance. Please refer to Figure 6 , in this embodiment, when the rigid body 110 is fixed to the wrist 20 of a user, the configuration density of the point light sources 120 located on the side of the rigid body 110 close to the elbow of the user (i.e. the right side in Figure 6 ) is greater than the configuration density of the point light sources 120 located on the side of the rigid body 110 close to the palm of the user (i.e. the left side in Figure 6 ). When the wireless position calibration device 100 is fixed to the wrist of a user, the image that the head-mounted device 52 can capture is usually the side of the rigid body 110 close to the elbow of the user, so this side needs to be distributed with more point light sources 120, and the other side can be distributed with fewer point light sources 120. In this way, the volume of the wireless position calibration device 100 can be reduced. It is worth noting that the light emitted by the point light sources 120 in this embodiment does not carry data. However, in other embodiments, the light emitted by the point light sources 120 carries signals, so the head-mounted device 52 can also recognize the codes represented by each point light source 120.

[0045] Figure 7 is a schematic view of the wireless position calibration device of Figure 1Fig. 2 is a schematic view of another perspective view of the wireless position marker device fixed to the wrist of the user. Please refer to Fig. 1 Figure 5A With reference to Fig. 1, the wireless position marker device 100 is fixed to the wrist 20A of the user. The rigid body 110 is designed based on the ergonomics of the human body. The rigid body 110 is not limited to the use of the wireless position marker device 100, but can also be applied to other wearable devices. The design concept of the rigid body 110 and other applications are described below. Figure 7 In the present embodiment, the configuration density of the point light sources 120 at the head portion 110A of the rigid body 110 near the thumb of the user is greater than the configuration density of the point light sources 120 at the tail portion 110C of the rigid body 110 near the little finger of the user when the rigid body 110 is fixed to the wrist of the user. When the wireless position marker device 100 is fixed to the wrist of the user and the elbow of the user is bent, the head-mounted device 52 can usually capture the head portion 110A of the rigid body 110 near the thumb of the user, so this side needs to be distributed with more point light sources 120, and the tail portion 110C on the other side can be distributed with fewer point light sources 120. In more detail, when the palm of the user faces the head-mounted device 52, since the head-mounted device 52 can only capture the image near the end surface 112B of the head portion 110A, the head portion 110A needs to be configured with more point light sources 120 than the tail portion 110C, so that the head-mounted device 52 can capture a sufficient number of point light source 120 images to facilitate positioning the pose of the wireless position marker device 100.

[0046] Since the shape of the rigid body 110 is designed based on the ergonomics of the human body, the rigid body 110 is not limited to the use of the wireless position marker device 100, but can also be applied to other wearable devices. The design concept of the rigid body 110 and other applications are described below.

[0047] Figure 8 Fig. 2 is a schematic view of another perspective view of the wireless position marker device fixed to the wrist of the user. Please refer to Fig. 1 Figure 8 The wearable device 200 of the present embodiment is adapted to be fixed to a wrist 20A of a user. For ease of description, Figure 8 Fig. 2 is a schematic view of another perspective view of the wireless position marker device fixed to the wrist of the user. Please refer to Fig. 1

[0048] In the wearable device 200 of the present embodiment, only the back surface 22A and the inner surface 24A of the wrist 20A abut against the concave surface 212 of the rigid body 210, while the other opposite surfaces of the wrist 20A do not abut against the concave surface 212 of the rigid body 210. Therefore, the wearable device 200 can be fitted on the wrist 20A comfortably regardless of the size of the wrist 20A, and has wide applicability.

[0049] In the present embodiment, the rigid body 210 is substantially L-shaped. When the rigid body 210 is fixed to the wrist 20A of a user, the head portion 210A is adjacent to a radius 20A1 of the wrist 20A, and the tail portion 210C is adjacent to an ulna 20A2 of the wrist 20A. The shape of the arc formed by the radius 20A1 and the ulna 20A2 substantially matches the shape of the concave surface 212 at the tail portion 210C, and thus the concave surface 212 at the tail portion 210C is adapted to abut against the back surface 22A of the wrist 20A. The shape of the arc formed by the side surface of the radius 20A1 substantially matches the shape of the concave surface 212 at the head portion 210A, and thus the concave surface 212 at the head portion 210A is adapted to abut against the inner surface 24A of the wrist 20A. Since the rigid body 210 is supported by two discontinuous arcs formed by the back surface 22A and the inner surface 24A of the wrist 20A and forms a turning feature, the rigid body 210 is less likely to slide when the wearable device 200 is shaken. In other words, the coupling member 220 can fix the wearable device 200 to the wrist 20A more stably than prior art devices even if it is not tightened too much, and this design can be applied to wrists of different sizes.

[0050] In the present embodiment, the wearable device 200 further comprises an electronic module 230 assembled to the rigid body 210. The electronic module 230 comprises a light source, a lens, a light sensor, a vibrator, a speaker, a bio-information sensor, other electronic modules, or a combination thereof. In other words, the wearable device 200 can provide various functions according to requirements, and is not limited to the wireless position marker 100 mentioned in the above embodiments. In addition, the bio-information sensor can output electrocardiography (ECG) data or photoplethysmography (PPG) signals.

[0051] Figure 9A With Figure 9B is a schematic diagram of the process of fixing a wearable device according to another embodiment of the present application to a wrist. Please refer to Figure 9A , the wearable device 300 of the present embodiment is similar to the wearable device 200 of the above embodiment, and the differences between the wearable device 300 and the wearable device 200 will be described below. Figure 8The wearable device 200 of the present embodiment is similar to the wearable device 200 of the first embodiment, except that the coupling member 320 of the wearable device 300 of the present embodiment includes an extension member 322 and a strap 324. One end of the extension member 322 is pivotally connected to the head portion 310A of the rigid body 310 of the wearable device 300 and extends to the inner surface 26A of the wrist 20A. The other end of the extension member 322 has an opening 322A. The wrist 20A is located between the rigid body 310 and the extension member 322. One end of the strap 324 is pivotally connected to the tail portion 310C of the rigid body 310, and the other end of the strap 324 is adapted to be fixed to the strap 324 that does not pass through the opening 322A.

[0052] When the user pulls the other end of the strap 324 in the direction of the arrow A12, i.e., the force exerted by the user is approximately in the horizontal direction, the extension member 322 pivotally connected to the head portion 310A of the rigid body 310 can rotate in the direction of the arrow A14 to change the force exerted to be approximately upward, thereby shortening the excess strap at the lower position of the strap 324, and the rigid body 310 is hardly forced to move. Figure 9A Figure 9B When the user pulls the other end of the strap 324 in the direction of the arrow A16, i.e., the force exerted by the user is approximately in the vertical downward direction, the extension member 322 transmits the downward force to the rigid body 310 to pull it in the direction of the wrist 20A, thereby increasing the friction between the rigid body 310 and the wrist 20A and simultaneously shortening the excess strap, so that the strap 324 can be tightened and is not easily moved to the rigid body 310.

[0053] The wearable device 300 of the present embodiment has a simple structure and is combined with ergonomic geometric design considerations. Therefore, when the user fastens the wearable device 300 to the wrist 20A, the user can easily find the appropriate force exertion angle to pull the other end of the strap 324 and complete the tightening and fixing of the strap 324, without causing the rigid body 310 to deviate, and easily fix the wearable device 300 at the desired tracking position on the wrist 20A. Moreover, because of the extension member 322, the wrist 20A can be located between the rigid body 310 and the extension member 322, so that the rigid body 310 can be temporarily balanced and supported on the wrist 20A before the strap 324 is tightened, which is easy to operate with one hand. Compared with the tightening of the strap 324 entirely by the soft strap 324, the rigid extension member 322 can provide better resistance to the turning restraint force.

[0054] ​In this embodiment, the extension member 322 is a bent member. The bent angle G10 of the bent member is greater than or equal to 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees.
