Figure 1The shown display system 100 is only explanatory and is by no means intended to limit this specification, its applications or uses.

[0066] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a pairing method, which is implemented by a head-mounted display device. First, the head-mounted display device for implementing this control method will be introduced below.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the head-mounted display device 20 includes a main control module 21, a first communication module 22, and a first control switch 23. The first communication module 22 is communicatively connected to the main control module 21, and the first control switch 23 is connected to the first communication module 22. When the first magnetic member 31 disposed in the handle 30 is within the magnetic field range corresponding to the first communication module 22, the first communication module 22 is awakened to send the first information of the head-mounted display device 20 to the server 40 or / and receive the second information sent by the server 40 through the first communication module 22.

[0068] In this embodiment, the first communication module 22 is used to establish a communication connection between the head-mounted display device 20 and the server. In some embodiments, the first communication module 22 and the main control module 21 are communicatively connected through a serial port. The serial port is an I2C interface, an SPI interface, or a UART interface. The first communication module 22 communicates with the server through the UDP (User Datagram Protocol) protocol.

[0069] In some embodiments, the first communication module 22 may be a Narrow Band Internet of Things (NBIoT) module. The first communication module 22 is used to establish periodic communication between the head-mounted display device 20 and the server based on narrow band Internet of things. Exemplarily, the first communication module 22 includes a narrow band Internet of things chipset 221 and an antenna group 222. In this embodiment, by using the characteristics of wide coverage and low power consumption of the narrow band Internet of things module, the head-mounted display device can establish a communication connection with the server and can reduce the power consumption of the head-mounted display device.

[0070] In this embodiment, the first communication module 22 has multiple wake-up methods.

[0071] Optionally, the first communication module 22 can be woken up regularly according to the wake-up period. The user can set the wake-up period of the first communication module according to actual needs. For example, the wake-up period is 12 hours or 24 hours.

[0072] Optionally, the first communication module can also be actively woken up by other modules or switches. Exemplarily, the first communication module 22 can be woken up by the main control module 21. Exemplarily, the first communication module 22 can be woken up by the first control switch 22.

[0073] In this embodiment, the first control switch 23 is a reed switch, also known as a dry reed tube. This first control switch is an electrical switch that can be operated by an applied magnetic field. When other magnetic components approach the first control switch 23, the external magnetic field generated by the other magnetic components causes the two reed pieces of the reed switch to attract and conduct the circuit. Among them, the other magnetic components can be a permanent magnet or an electromagnetic coil. For example, the other magnetic component is the first magnetic component 31 disposed in the handle 30. More specifically, the first control switch 23 is short-circuited with the wake-up pin of the first communication module 22. When the first magnetic component 31 disposed in the handle 30 is within the magnetic field range corresponding to the first communication module 22, the first control switch 33 is turned on to wake up the first communication module.

[0074] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, the head-mounted display device 20 further includes a positioning module 24, and the positioning module 24 is connected to the main control module 21. The positioning module 24 is configured to collect the first positioning information of the head-mounted display device 20 to facilitate the user to find the head-mounted display device 20. Exemplarily, the positioning module 24 may be a GNSS positioning chip. For example, a GPS positioning chip, a Beidou positioning chip, etc.

[0075] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, the head-mounted display device 20 further includes a battery module 25, and the battery module 25 is connected to the first communication module 22 to supply power to the first communication module 22. Exemplarily, the battery module 25 may be, for example, a 18500 power supply battery.

[0076] In some embodiments, the head-mounted display device 20 further includes a second magnetic component (not shown in the figure), and the second magnetic component is disposed outside the magnetic field range corresponding to the first control switch 23, and the second magnetic component is used to wake up the second communication module 32 of the handle 30.

[0077] Exemplarily, the second magnetic component may be, for example, a permanent magnet.

[0078] In this embodiment, as Figure 4As shown, the handle 30 further includes a second communication module 32 and a second control switch 33. Exemplarily, the second control switch 33 is a reed switch, also known as a dry reed tube. The second control switch 33 is an electrical switch that can be operated by an applied magnetic field. When other magnetic components are close to the second control switch 33, the external magnetic field generated by the other magnetic components causes the two reed pieces of the reed switch to attract and conduct the circuit. Among them, the other magnetic components can be a permanent magnet or an electromagnetic coil. For example, the other magnetic component is a second magnetic component provided in the head-mounted display device. More specifically, the second control switch 33 is short-circuited with the wake-up pin of the second communication module 32. When the first magnetic component provided in the head-mounted display device is within the magnetic field range corresponding to the second communication module 32, the second control switch 33 is turned on to wake up the second communication module.

[0079] In this embodiment, by providing the second magnetic component, the head-mounted display device can also wake up the second communication module of the handle, making it more convenient to use.

[0080] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, by providing the first communication module, in an area where the wireless network is not covered, the head-mounted display device can establish a communication connection with the server, and then can send information to the server. Further, the first communication module can send the first identification information of the head-mounted display device to the server, so that the server generates pairing information according to the first identification information of the head-mounted display device and the second identification information of the first handle. After that, when the head-mounted display device is paired with the handle, the scanned identification information of the handle is compared with the pairing information sent by the server. When there is a target identification information in the scanned identification information of the handle that matches the second identification information in the pairing information, a pairing relationship between the head-mounted display device and the handle corresponding to the target identification information is established. In this way, the problem that the head-mounted display device needs to be returned to the factory for pairing settings in the prior art is solved, and the head-mounted display device and the handle can be quickly paired, making it more convenient to use. Moreover, the pairing algorithm of the head-mounted display device manufacturer does not need to be disclosed, which can improve the security of using the head-mounted display device.

[0081] Figure 5 The flowchart of the pairing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. The pairing method is applied to the head-mounted display device described in the above embodiment. As Figure 5 shown, the pairing method provided in this embodiment may include the following steps S5100 to step S5300.

[0082] Step S5100, send a first message including the first identification information of the head-mounted display device to the server through the first communication module, so that the server generates and sends pairing information to the head-mounted display device according to the first identification information and the second identification information of the first handle when the head-mounted display device and the first handle do not establish a pairing relationship.

[0083] Among them, the pairing information includes first identification information and second identification information.

[0084] In this embodiment, the head-mounted display device can be a device that establishes a communication connection with the server. Based on the communication connection established between the head-mounted display device and the server, a first message is sent to the server. The first message includes at least the first identification information. The first identification information can be the identity information of the head-mounted display device. Exemplarily, the first identification information can be the coding information of the head-mounted display device. For example, the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) of the head-mounted display device.

[0085] The first handle can be a handle that establishes a communication connection with the server. Based on the communication connection established between the handle and the server, the second identification information is sent to the server. The second identification information can be the identity information of the first handle. Exemplarily, the second identification information can be the coding information of the first handle. For example, the IMEI identification code of the first handle.

[0086] The pairing information includes first identification information and second identification information. Exemplarily, the first identification information of the head-mounted display device and the second identification information of the first handle are written according to the preset format information to obtain the pairing information.

[0087] The first communication module is used to establish a communication connection between the head-mounted display device and the server. Exemplarily, it can be an NBIOT module. The first communication module is used to establish periodic communication between the head-mounted display device and the server based on narrowband Internet of Things. In this embodiment, by utilizing the characteristics of wide coverage and low power consumption of the narrowband Internet of Things module, the head-mounted display device can establish a communication connection with the server and the power consumption of the head-mounted display device can be reduced.

[0088] The server can be a server provided by a communication operator. This server is used to receive the first message including the first identification information and generate the pairing information of the head-mounted display device and the first handle according to the first identification information and the second identification information.

[0089] In this embodiment, the head-mounted display device is usually paired with a handle for use. Based on this, after the head-mounted display device is started, the first communication module of the head-mounted display device establishes a communication connection with the server. Based on the communication connection established between the first communication module and the server, the head-mounted display device sends a first message including first identification information to the server. At the same time, after the first handle is started, the second communication module of the first handle establishes a communication connection with the server. Based on the communication connection established between the second communication module and the server, the first handle sends second identification information. After that, the server determines whether the head-mounted display device and the first handle have established a pairing relationship. In the case where the head-mounted display device and the first handle have not established a pairing relationship, pairing information is generated according to the first identification information and the second identification information, and the pairing information is sent to the head-mounted display device so that the head-mounted display device can be paired and connected with the handle according to the pairing information.

[0090] After step S5100, step S5200 is executed to receive the identification information of the scanned handle and the pairing information sent by the server.

[0091] In this embodiment, the identification information of the scanned handle is used to represent the identity information of the scanned handle. For example, it can be the coding information of the scanned handle. For example, the IMEI identification code of the scanned handle. The scanned handle includes the handle that will be paired with the head-mounted display device. The scanned handle can be one or multiple.

[0092] Step S5300, in the case where there is target identification information in the identification information of the scanned handle that matches the second identification information in the pairing information, establish a pairing relationship between the head-mounted display device and the handle corresponding to the target identification information.

[0093] In this embodiment, in the case where the head-mounted display device receives the pairing information sent by the server through the first communication module, the first communication module sends the pairing information to the main control module, and the main control module writes the pairing information into the pairing information list of the head-mounted display device for pairing and connecting the head-mounted display device and the handle. After that, the head-mounted display device scans the surrounding handles, and compares the identification information of the scanned handles with the pairing information in the pairing information list. In the case where there is target identification information in the identification information of the scanned handles that matches the pairing information in the pairing information list, establish a pairing relationship between the head-mounted display device and the handle corresponding to the target identification information, that is, pair and connect the head-mounted display device with the handle corresponding to the target identification information.

[0094] In one embodiment, after receiving the identified information of the scanned handle, the method further includes: comparing the identified information of the scanned handle with the paired information stored in the head-mounted display device, and establishing a pairing relationship between the head-mounted display device and the handle corresponding to the target identified information when there is a target identified information in the identified information of the scanned handle that matches the stored paired information.

[0095] According to the embodiments of the present application, by providing the first communication module, the head-mounted display device can establish a communication connection with the server in an area where the wireless network is not covered, and thus can send information to the server. Further, the first identification information of the head-mounted display device can be sent to the server through the first communication module, so that the server generates paired information based on the first identification information of the head-mounted display device and the second identification information of the first handle. After that, when the head-mounted display device is paired with the handle, the identified information of the scanned handle is compared with the paired information sent by the server, and a pairing relationship between the head-mounted display device and the handle corresponding to the target identified information is established when there is a target identified information in the identified information of the scanned handle that matches the second identified information in the paired information. In this way, the problem in the prior art that the head-mounted display device needs to be returned to the factory for pairing settings is solved, and the head-mounted display device and the handle can be quickly paired, which is more convenient to use. Moreover, it is not necessary to disclose the pairing algorithm of the head-mounted display device manufacturer, which can improve the security of using the head-mounted display device.

[0096] In one embodiment, the first message further includes the first positioning information of the head-mounted display device, and the method further includes: when the head-mounted display device enables the anti-loss mode, sending the first message to the server through the first communication module, so that other devices can obtain the first positioning information from the server to search for the head-mounted display device according to the first positioning information.

[0097] Among them, the other devices can be mobile phones, tablet computers, laptop computers, wearable devices, etc.

[0098] In specific implementation, the other devices establish a communication connection with the server and query the first positioning information of the head-mounted display device according to the first identification information of the head-mounted display device (for example, IMEI identification code).

[0099] In this embodiment, when the head-mounted display device enables the anti-loss mode, the first communication module regularly sends the first positioning information to the server according to the wake-up period. In this way, when the head-mounted display device is lost, the user can obtain the first positioning information of the head-mounted display device from the server through other devices and search for the head-mounted display device according to the first positioning information.

[0100] In one embodiment, before sending a first message to a server through a first communication module when an anti-loss mode of a head-mounted display device is enabled, the method further includes: receiving a first input from a user; and in response to the first input, enabling the anti-loss mode.

[0101] The first input may be an input for enabling the anti-loss mode. Exemplarily, the first input may be a click input of a user on a target control through a handle, which may be specifically determined according to actual usage requirements, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0102] In this embodiment, the user may select to enable the anti-loss mode of the head-mounted display device according to actual needs. While obtaining the first positioning information of the head-mounted display device, the power consumption of the head-mounted display device can be reduced, the usage duration of the head-mounted display device can be extended, and the user experience can be improved.

[0103] In one embodiment, sending a first message including the first identification information of the head-mounted display device to the server through the first communication module may further include: when a preset event is detected, the first communication module enters a wake-up mode to send a first message including the first identification information of the head-mounted display device to the server through the first communication module.

[0104] In this embodiment, the preset event may be an event for waking up the first communication module.

[0105] Exemplarily, the preset event may be that a first magnetic member of an external device is within the magnetic field range corresponding to a first control switch, where the first control switch is connected to the first communication module.

[0106] In this example, the external device may be a handle or other electronic devices. The first control switch may be a reed switch, also known as a dry reed tube. The first control switch is an electrical switch that can be operated by an applied magnetic field. When another magnetic member approaches the first control switch, the external magnetic field generated by the other magnetic member causes the two reed pieces of the reed switch to attract and conduct the circuit. Among them, the other magnetic member may be a permanent magnet or an electromagnetic coil. More specifically, the first control switch is short-circuited with the wake-up pin of the first communication module 22. When the first magnetic member of the external device is within the magnetic field range corresponding to the first communication module, the first control switch conducts, waking up the first communication module.

[0107] Exemplarily, the first communication module receives a wake-up instruction sent by the main control module of the head-mounted display device.

[0108] Exemplarily, the first communication module reaches a preset wake-up time.

[0109] In this example, the first communication module can be woken up regularly according to the wake-up period. The user can set the wake-up period of the first communication module according to actual needs. For example, the wake-up period is 12 hours or 24 hours.

[0110] In this embodiment, the first communication module has multiple wake-up methods. The user can choose any one of the wake-up methods to wake up the first communication module according to actual needs, which is more convenient to use. Furthermore, by setting the first control switch, when the first magnetic member in the external device approaches the first control switch, the first control switch can be turned on, thereby waking up the first communication module. In this way, the first communication module can be quickly woken up, the operation is simple, and the user experience is better.

[0111] In one embodiment, the method further includes: obtaining wake-up period configuration information from the server through the first communication module; setting the wake-up period of the first communication module according to the wake-up period configuration information.

[0112] The wake-up period configuration information can be the configuration information for setting the wake-up period of the first communication module. In specific implementation, the user can set the wake-up period of the first communication module of the head-mounted display device through other devices, that is, the acquisition period of the first positioning information of the head-mounted display device. Based on the communication connection between the other device and the server, the other device sends the wake-up period configuration information of the head-mounted display device to the server. When the head-mounted display device establishes a communication connection with the server through the first communication module, the wake-up period of the first communication module is updated according to the wake-up period configuration information.

[0113] In this embodiment, the user can set the wake-up period of the first communication module according to actual needs. Furthermore, the first communication module can upload the first positioning information of the head-mounted display device according to the wake-up period, which can reduce the power consumption of the head-mounted display device while realizing the anti-loss function of the head-mounted display device.

[0114] In one embodiment, the method further includes: obtaining an encryption instruction from the server through the first communication module, and performing encryption settings on the head-mounted display device according to the encryption instruction. In this way, data leakage in the head-mounted display device can be avoided, and the security of using the head-mounted display device can be improved.

[0115] Figure 6 The flowchart of the pairing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. The pairing method is applied to the server. As Figure 6 shown, the pairing method provided in this embodiment may include the following steps S6100 to step S6300.

[0116] Step S6100: Receive a first message sent by the first communication module of the head-mounted display device and a second message sent by the second communication module of the first handle. The first message includes the first identification information and format information of the head-mounted display device, and the second message includes the second identification information of the first handle.

[0117] The first identification information may be the identity information of the head-mounted display device. Exemplarily, the first identification information may be the coding information of the head-mounted display device. For example, the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) of the head-mounted display device.

[0118] The second identification information may be the identity information of the first handle. Exemplarily, the second identification information may be the coding information of the first handle. For example, the IMEI identification code of the first handle.

[0119] The format information may be the format information of the pairing information.

[0120] Step S6200: In the case where the head-mounted display device and the first handle have not established a pairing relationship, write the first identification information and the second identification information according to the format information to generate pairing information.

[0121] In this embodiment, the head-mounted display device is usually used in pair with the handle. Based on this, after the head-mounted display device is started, the first communication module of the head-mounted display device establishes a communication connection with the server. Based on the communication connection established between the first communication module and the server, the head-mounted display device sends a first message including the first identification information to the server. At the same time, after the first handle is started, the second communication module of the first handle establishes a communication connection with the server. Based on the communication connection established between the second communication module and the server, the first handle sends the second identification information. Then, the server determines whether the head-mounted display device and the first handle have established a pairing relationship. In the case where the head-mounted display device and the first handle have not established a pairing relationship, the server generates pairing information according to the first identification information and the second identification information, and sends the pairing information to the head-mounted display device so that the head-mounted display device performs pairing connection with the handle according to the pairing information.

[0122] In this embodiment, before determining whether the head-mounted display device and the first handle have established a pairing relationship, it is also necessary to determine whether the first handle and the head-mounted display device meet the preset pairing conditions. The pairing conditions may measure whether the distance between the first handle and the head-mounted display device meets the pairing requirements, and whether the usage time of the first handle and the head-mounted display device meets the pairing requirements.

[0123] In one embodiment, the first message further includes first positioning information of the head-mounted display device, and the second message further includes second positioning information of the first handle. When the head-mounted display device and the first handle have not established a pairing relationship, before writing the first identification information and the second identification information according to the format information to generate pairing information, the method further includes: when the time difference between the first time and the second time is less than or equal to a preset time threshold, determining a first distance between the first handle and the head-mounted display device according to the first positioning information and the second positioning information; and when the first distance is less than or equal to a preset distance threshold, determining whether a pairing relationship has been established between the head-mounted display device and the first handle.

[0124] In this embodiment, the preset time threshold is used to measure whether the usage times of the head-mounted display device and the first handle are close, that is, whether the head-mounted display device and the first handle are used at the same time. For example, the preset time threshold is 30s. The first time is the sending time or the receiving time of the first message. The second time is the sending time or the receiving time of the second message. That is, it is possible to determine whether the head-mounted display device and the first handle are used at the same time according to the sending times of the first message and the second message. It is also possible to determine whether the head-mounted display device and the first handle are used at the same time according to the receiving times of the first message and the second message.

[0125] The preset distance threshold is used to measure whether the usage locations of the head-mounted display device and the first handle are close, that is, whether the head-mounted display device and the first handle are used at the same location. For example, the preset distance threshold is 30cm. According to the first distance between the first handle and the head-mounted display device, it is possible to determine whether the head-mounted display device and the first handle are used at the same location.

[0126] Based on this, when the time difference between the first time and the second time is less than or equal to the preset time threshold and the first distance is less than or equal to the preset distance threshold, it indicates that the usage location of the first handle and the head-mounted display device is close and the usage times are close. The first handle is a handle that may be paired and connected to the head-mounted display device. Furthermore, it is determined whether a pairing relationship has been established between the head-mounted display device and the first handle, and when the head-mounted display device and the first handle have not established a pairing relationship, the first identification information and the second identification information are written according to the format information to generate pairing information.

[0127] In this embodiment, before generating the pairing information, it is determined whether the head-mounted display device and the first handle meet the preset pairing conditions, so that when the head-mounted display device and the first handle meet the pairing conditions, the pairing information is generated. In this way, the accuracy of pairing can be provided, the computing amount can be reduced, and the response speed can be improved.

[0128] After step S6200, step S6300 is executed to send the pairing information to the head-mounted display device, so that when there is a target identification information in the identification information of the scanned handle that matches the second identification information in the pairing information, a pairing relationship between the head-mounted display device and the handle corresponding to the target identification information is established.

[0129] In this embodiment, after the pairing information is sent to the head-mounted display device, the head-mounted display device sends the pairing information to the main control module through the first communication module, and the main control module writes the pairing information into the pairing information list of the head-mounted display device for pairing and connecting the head-mounted display device and the handle. Then, the head-mounted display device scans the surrounding handles and compares the identification information of the scanned handles with the pairing information in the pairing information list. When there is a target identification information in the identification information of the scanned handle that matches the pairing information in the pairing information list, a pairing relationship between the head-mounted display device and the handle corresponding to the target identification information is established, that is, the head-mounted display device is paired and connected with the handle corresponding to the target identification information.

[0130] According to the embodiment of the present application, when the server receives the first identification information sent by the head-mounted display device, pairing information is generated according to the first identification information of the head-mounted display device and the second identification information of the first handle, and the pairing information is sent to the head-mounted display device. Then, when the head-mounted display device is paired with the handle, the identification information of the scanned handle is compared with the pairing information sent by the server. When there is a target identification information in the identification information of the scanned handle that matches the second identification information in the pairing information, a pairing relationship between the head-mounted display device and the handle corresponding to the target identification information is established. In this way, the problem that the head-mounted display device needs to be returned to the factory for pairing settings in the prior art is solved, and the quick pairing of the head-mounted display device and the handle can be realized, which is more convenient to use. Moreover, the pairing algorithm of the manufacturer of the head-mounted display device does not need to be disclosed, which can improve the security of using the head-mounted display device.

[0131] In one embodiment, the method further includes: providing a configuration interface; receiving an input from the user to the configuration interface; obtaining wake-up cycle configuration information in response to the input from the user to the configuration interface; and sending the wake-up cycle configuration information to the head-mounted display device, so that the head-mounted display device sets the wake-up cycle of the first communication module according to the wake-up cycle configuration information.

[0132] The wake-up cycle configuration information may be the configuration information for setting the wake-up cycle of the first communication module. In specific implementation, the user may set the wake-up cycle of the first communication module of the head-mounted display device through another device, that is, the acquisition cycle of the first positioning information of the head-mounted display device. Based on the communication connection between the other device and the server, the other device sends the wake-up cycle configuration information of the head-mounted display device to the server. When the head-mounted display device establishes a communication connection with the server through the first communication module, the wake-up cycle of the first communication module is updated according to the wake-up cycle configuration information.

[0133] In this embodiment, the user may set the wake-up cycle of the first communication module according to actual needs. Furthermore, the first communication module may upload the first positioning information of the head-mounted display device according to the wake-up cycle, and while implementing the anti-loss function of the head-mounted display device, the power consumption of the head-mounted display device may be reduced.
