VR controllers, VR glasses, pose information determination methods and devices Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of electronic technology, specifically relating to a VR controller, VR glasses, a method and device for determining pose information. Background Technology

[0002] Typically, in scenarios where users engage with virtual reality (VR) devices, they can interact with the VR device using a controller. Specifically, if a user needs to trigger the VR device to perform a certain operation, the user can first initiate a connection between the VR device and the controller, and then move the controller as input. This allows the VR device to obtain the relative position information of the controller based on the infrared light emitted by the controller's LED light source, and then perform the operation based on that position information.

[0003] However, since the controllers all use LED light sources that emit infrared light of a fixed wavelength, when the VR device is recognizing the controller, if other identical or similar devices in the same environment are emitting infrared light of the same wavelength, it will interfere with the VR device's recognition. Therefore, the VR device cannot accurately recognize the relative pose information of the controller. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide an electronic device, a method, apparatus, and medium for determining pose information, which can solve the problem of poor accuracy in the use of VR devices.

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a VR controller, which includes: N sets of first light sources disposed on the VR controller, the N sets of first light sources being used to emit infrared light of different wavelengths, where N is a positive integer; and M second light sources disposed on the VR controller, the M second light sources being used to emit polarized light of different directions, where M is a positive integer; wherein, when the first set of first light sources in the N sets of first light sources emits infrared light, the other light sources in the N sets of first light sources, excluding the first set of first light sources, stop emitting infrared light; and when the third light source in the M second light sources emits polarized light, the other light sources in the M second light sources, excluding the third light source, stop emitting polarized light.

[0006] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a VR headset, which includes: an image sensor disposed on the VR headset, the image sensor including N groups of first photosensitive pixels and M second photosensitive pixels; each group of first photosensitive pixels is used to sense infrared light of one wavelength, and each second photosensitive pixel is used to sense polarized light of one direction, where N and M are both positive integers; the VR headset is used to detect the infrared light and polarized light emitted by the VR controller to determine the pose information of the VR controller.

[0007] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide a pose information determination method applied to VR glasses. The method includes: receiving a first infrared light and a first polarized light emitted by a VR controller; upon receiving the first light, transmitting light adjustment information to the VR controller, the light adjustment information being used to instruct the VR controller to adjust the first light to a second light; upon receiving the second light emitted by the VR controller, determining the pose information of the VR controller based on the second light; wherein, when the first light includes a second infrared light, the wavelengths of the second infrared light and the first infrared light are matched; and when the first light includes a second polarized light, the polarization directions of the second polarized light and the first polarized light are matched.

[0008] Fourthly, embodiments of this application provide a pose information determination device, which includes: a receiving module, a transmitting module, and a determining module; the receiving module is used to receive a first infrared light and a first polarized light emitted by a VR controller; the transmitting module is used to transmit light adjustment information to the VR controller when the first light is received, the light adjustment information being used to instruct the VR controller to adjust the first light to a second light; the determining module is used to determine the pose information of the VR controller based on the second light when the second light emitted by the VR controller is received; wherein, when the first light includes a second infrared light, the wavelengths of the second infrared light and the first infrared light are matched; and when the first light includes a second polarized light, the polarization directions of the second polarized light and the first polarized light are matched.

[0009] Fifthly, embodiments of this application provide an electronic device including a processor and a memory, the memory storing a program or instructions executable on the processor, the program or instructions, when executed by the processor, implementing the steps of the method as described in the first aspect.

[0010] In a sixth aspect, embodiments of this application provide a readable storage medium on which a program or instructions are stored, which, when executed by a processor, implement the steps of the method as described in the first aspect.

[0011] In a seventh aspect, embodiments of this application provide a chip, which includes a processor and a communication interface, the communication interface and the processor being coupled together, the processor being used to run programs or instructions to implement the method as described in the first aspect.

[0012] Eighthly, embodiments of this application provide a computer program product stored in a storage medium, which is executed by at least one processor to implement the method as described in the first aspect.

[0013] In this embodiment, N sets of first light sources and M second light sources are provided on the VR controller. The N sets of first light sources emit infrared light of different wavelengths, where N is a positive integer. The M second light sources emit polarized light of different directions, where M is a positive integer. When the first set of first light sources emits infrared light, the other light sources in the N sets stop emitting infrared light. Similarly, when the third light source in the M second light sources emits polarized light, the other light sources in the M second light sources stop emitting polarized light. Because the VR controller has multiple sets of first light sources and multiple second light sources, when the VR glasses detect that the light emitted by other electronic devices matches the light currently emitted by the VR controller during the detection of the VR controller's pose information, the light source on the VR controller can be switched to prevent interference from other electronic devices emitting the same light, thereby improving the accuracy of recognizing the relative pose information of the VR controller.

[0023] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0024] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0025] The following will explain the terminology used in the embodiments of this application.

[0026] 1. Virtual Reality Technology

[0027] Virtual Reality (VR) is a novel and practical technology that emerged in the 20th century. It encompasses computer science, electronic information, and simulation technology. Its basic implementation involves using computers to simulate a virtual environment, creating a sense of immersion. VR refers to creating a virtual space through external devices; people can then enjoy applications such as watching movies and playing games within this virtual space. Typically, a VR device is a head-mounted glasses system equipped with multiple cameras.

[0028] The VR device includes a VR headset and two controllers (the aforementioned external devices). The VR headset has four cameras, primarily used for environmental see-through detection and six degrees of freedom (6DoF) detection. Alternatively, some VR headsets use separate camera configurations for see-through and 6DoF detection (see-through typically detects visible light signals, while 6DoF detects both visible and infrared signals). In this case, two additional dedicated see-through cameras are usually required (i.e., four 6DoF cameras + two see-through cameras). The infrared signal is mainly used for controller position detection. Since adding more cameras increases the overall size, power consumption, and cost of the camera module, the four 6DoF cameras can be reused for image acquisition to achieve the see-through function.

[0029] VR glasses typically establish a wireless connection with the controllers using 6DoF recognition. The controllers are equipped with a specific infrared light source (e.g., 850nm infrared band) to allow the camera on the VR glasses to capture the controllers' pose information. The camera module used in VR glasses usually employs a fixed-focal-length camera, as shown in Figure 1. The camera includes: a lens 21, an infrared reflection (IR) filter 22, a CMOS image sensor (CIS) chip 23, wire bonding wires 24, a flexible printed circuit (FPC) 25, and a reinforcing steel sheet 26. The lens 21, located at the front of the camera, consists of one glass lens and five plastic lenses. The IR filter 22 is used to filter light of a specific wavelength. The CIS chip 23, also known as the camera's photosensitive chip, is typically used in VR glasses as a global exposure chip. The wire bonding wires 24 are gold wires used to connect the photosensitive chip to external electrical components. The flexible printed circuit board (FPC25), also known as a "flexible board," is a printed circuit made of a flexible insulating substrate and is used to connect the photosensitive chip to external electrical components. The reinforcing steel sheet (26) is used to reinforce the back of the camera module.

[0030] Typically, as shown in Figure 2, a VR controller is equipped with multiple infrared light-emitting diodes (LEDs) 31. These multiple infrared LEDs 31 are generally arranged in a ring, and each of them emits infrared light of the same wavelength. The VR glasses' camera determines the controller's pose information by capturing the position and orientation of the infrared light emitted by the infrared LEDs on the controller.

[0031] The electronic device, pose information determination method, apparatus, and medium provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0032] Figure 3 shows a possible structural schematic diagram of a VR controller provided in an embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 4, the first electronic device includes: N sets of first light sources 41, disposed on the VR controller, the N sets of first light sources being used to emit infrared light of different wavelengths, where N is a positive integer; and M second light sources 42, disposed on the VR controller, the M second light sources being used to emit polarized light of different directions, where M is a positive integer. Specifically, when the first set of first light sources in the N sets emits infrared light, the other light sources in the N sets of first light sources, excluding the first set of first light sources, stop emitting infrared light; when the third light source in the M second light sources emits polarized light, the other light sources in the M second light sources, excluding the third light source, stop emitting polarized light.

[0033] For example, each of the N groups of first light sources emits infrared light in a different wavelength band.

[0034] Specifically, each of the above-mentioned first light sources may include at least one LED light source capable of emitting infrared light in the same wavelength band.

[0035] For example, each of the M second light sources emits polarized light rays in a different direction.

[0036] Specifically, the aforementioned M second light sources may include polarized light sources capable of emitting polarized light in two directions.

[0037] Optionally, in this embodiment, the first light source emits infrared light to make the VR glasses sensitive to infrared light; the third light source emits polarized light to make the VR glasses sensitive to polarized light.

[0038] For example, VR glasses can sense infrared light emitted by the VR controller through a first set of first light sources, or they can sense polarized light emitted by the VR controller through a third light source.

[0039] For example, as shown in Figure 3, taking a VR controller as an example, the aforementioned N groups of first light sources may include three groups of first light sources 41. Specifically, the first group of first light sources 43 emits infrared light in the 850nm band, the second group of first light sources 44 emits infrared light in the 900nm band, and the third group of first light sources 45 emits infrared light in the 950nm band. Referring to Figure 3, the aforementioned M groups of second light sources 42 may include two second light sources, namely a third light source 46 and a fourth light source 47. Specifically, as shown in Figure 4(a), the third light source emits polarized light in a first direction, and as shown in Figure 4(b), the fourth light source emits polarized light in a second direction. The polarized light in the first direction is perpendicular to the polarized light in the second direction.

[0040] The VR controller provided in this application embodiment has N sets of first light sources and M second light sources. The N sets of first light sources emit infrared light of different wavelengths, where N is a positive integer. The M second light sources emit polarized light of different directions, where M is a positive integer. When the first set of first light sources emits infrared light, the other light sources in the N sets stop emitting infrared light. Similarly, when the third light source in the M second light sources emits polarized light, the other light sources in the M second light sources stop emitting polarized light. Because the VR controller has multiple sets of first light sources and multiple second light sources, when the VR glasses detect the pose information of the VR controller and detect that the light emitted by other electronic devices matches the light currently emitted by the VR controller, they can switch the light sources on the VR controller to prevent interference from other electronic devices emitting the same light, thereby improving the accuracy of recognizing the relative pose information of the VR controller.

[0041] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, a VR glasses is provided, which includes: an image sensor disposed on the VR glasses, as shown in FIG5. The image sensor includes N groups of first photosensitive pixels 61 and M second photosensitive pixels 62; each group of first photosensitive pixels is used to sense infrared light of one wavelength, and each second photosensitive pixel is used to sense polarized light of one direction, where N and M are both positive integers; the VR glasses are used to detect the infrared light and polarized light emitted by the VR controller to determine the pose information of the VR controller.

[0042] Specifically, as shown in Figure 5, the pixel arrangement of the image sensor satisfies at least one of the following: N groups of first photosensitive pixels 61 are distributed around M second photosensitive pixels 62; N groups of first photosensitive pixels and M second photosensitive pixels are arranged alternately.

[0043] For example, the image sensor described above can be at least one camera chip. Specifically, the image sensor described above can be a global exposure camera chip.

[0044] For example, the aforementioned N groups of first photosensitive pixels can be at least one group of first photosensitive pixels. Specifically, the aforementioned N groups of first photosensitive pixels can include at least one of the following: a first infrared photosensitive pixel (R1), a second infrared photosensitive pixel (R2), and a third infrared photosensitive pixel (R3), etc.

[0045] For example, the aforementioned M first photosensitive pixels can be at least one second photosensitive pixel. Specifically, the aforementioned M second photosensitive pixels can include at least one of the following: a first polarization photosensitive pixel (P1) and a second polarization photosensitive pixel (P2).

[0046] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the first group of photosensitive pixels in the above N groups of first photosensitive pixels is used to detect infrared light emitted by the first group of first light sources on the VR controller; the third photosensitive pixel in the M second photosensitive pixels is used to detect polarized light emitted by the third light source on the VR controller.

[0047] For example, VR glasses can detect infrared light emitted by a first light source on a VR controller through a first set of photosensitive pixels, and detect polarized light emitted by a third light source on a VR controller through a third set of photosensitive pixels.

[0048] The VR glasses provided in this application embodiment are equipped with an image sensor including various types of photosensitive pixels. This allows the VR glasses to accurately detect the light emitted by the VR controller during the process of detecting the VR controller's pose information, preventing interference from other electronic devices emitting the same light, thereby improving the accuracy of the VR glasses in detecting the VR controller's pose information.

[0049] The pose information determination method provided in this application is applied to scenarios where users use VR devices. The specific application scenario can be determined according to the usage requirements, and this application does not limit it.

[0050] For example, consider a scenario where VR glasses detect the pose information of the controllers.

[0051] In related technologies, 6DoF recognition for VR glasses is typically combined with controller pose information detection, as shown in Figure 2. LEDs with specific infrared wavelengths, such as 850nm, are installed on the controllers to facilitate the VR glasses' camera capturing the controllers' pose information. However, the camera modules used in VR glasses are usually fixed-focus cameras. When other devices emitting the same or similar infrared light wavelengths are present in the same environment, the camera's ability to recognize the controllers' pose information will be interfered with, making accurate identification of the controllers' pose information impossible.

[0052] In this embodiment, the VR glasses receive a first infrared light and a first polarized light emitted by the VR controller. If the first light is detected by the image sensor, and the VR glasses receive the first light, they transmit light adjustment information to the VR controller. Then, upon receiving a second light emitted by the VR controller, the VR glasses determine the VR controller's pose information based on the second light. The light adjustment information instructs the VR controller to adjust the first light to the second light. If the first light includes a second infrared light, the wavelengths of the second and first infrared lights match; if the first light includes a second polarized light, the polarization directions of the second and first polarized lights match. Because the VR glasses can instruct the VR controller to adjust the first light to the second light upon receiving the first light, and determine the VR controller's pose information based on the second light, the VR glasses can prevent interference from light emitted by other electronic devices in the same environment, thereby improving the accuracy of the VR glasses in detecting the VR controller's pose information.

[0053] This application provides a pose information determination method for VR glasses, as shown in Figure 6. The pose information determination method may include the following steps 201 to 203:

[0054] Step 201: The VR glasses receive the first infrared light and the first polarized light emitted by the VR controller.

[0055] For example, the first infrared light can be infrared light of the same wavelength emitted by any one of the N sets of first light sources of the VR controller.

[0056] For example, the first polarized light can be polarized light emitted in the same direction from any one of the M second light sources of the VR controller.

[0057] Step 202: Upon receiving the first light, the VR glasses transmit light adjustment information to the VR controller.

[0058] The aforementioned light adjustment information is used to instruct the VR controller to adjust the first light source to the second light source.

[0059] For example, the first ray can be light emitted by an electronic device other than the VR controller.

[0060] It should be noted that, upon detecting that a first ray emitted by another electronic device matches at least one ray emitted by the VR controller, the VR glasses can transmit light adjustment information to the VR controller, causing the VR controller to adjust the light. The aforementioned "matching" indicates that the infrared light in the first ray has the same wavelength as the first infrared light, or that the polarized light in the first ray has the same direction as the first polarized light.

[0061] Step 203: When the VR glasses receive the second light emitted by the VR controller, they determine the pose information of the VR controller based on the second light.

[0062] Wherein, when the first ray includes a second infrared ray, the wavelengths of the second infrared ray and the first infrared ray are matched; and when the first ray includes a second polarized ray, the polarization directions of the second polarized ray and the first polarized ray are matched.

[0063] For example, the pose information described above is used to indicate the relative position and posture information of the VR controller.

[0064] In this embodiment, when the VR glasses receive the first light source, they can instruct the VR controller to adjust the first light source to a second light source, and determine the VR controller's pose information based on the second light source. This prevents interference from light emitted by other electronic devices in the same environment, thereby improving the accuracy of the VR glasses in detecting the VR controller's pose information.

[0065] Optionally, in this embodiment, the second light ray includes a third infrared light ray and a third polarized light ray. Specifically, before step 201 above, the pose information determination method provided in this embodiment may further include step 301 below; before step 203 above, the pose information determination method provided in this embodiment may further include step 401 below:

[0066] Step 301: Once the VR glasses and VR controllers are connected, the VR glasses send instruction information to the VR controllers.

[0067] The aforementioned instruction information is used to instruct the VR controller to turn on the first group of first and third light sources.

[0068] For example, the above link can be a wired connection or a wireless connection.

[0069] For example, the wireless connection described above can be at least one of the following: Bluetooth connection, WiFi connection, and wireless LAN connection.

[0070] For example, the first group of first light sources can be any one of the N groups of first light sources.

[0071] For example, the third light source can be any one of the M second light sources.

[0072] Specifically, the first light source can be an infrared LED light source, and the second light source can be a polarized light source.

[0073] It should be noted that VR glasses can receive the first infrared light emitted by the first light source and the first polarized light emitted by the third light source through the image sensor.

[0074] Step 401: The VR glasses receive the second light emitted by the target light source through the image sensor.

[0075] The light adjustment information is used to instruct the VR controller to turn on the target light source, which includes at least one of the following: the second group of first light sources in N groups of first light sources and the fourth light source in M ​​groups of second light sources; the infrared light emitted by the first group of first light sources and the second group of first light sources has different wavelengths; the polarized light emitted by the third light source and the fourth light source has different directions.

[0076] It should be noted that if the VR glasses detect a first light emitted by another electronic device that matches at least one of the first infrared light and the first polarized light emitted by the VR controller, the VR glasses can instruct the VR controller to turn on the target light source.

[0077] Thus, since VR glasses can instruct VR controllers to switch light sources, they can prevent interference from other electronic devices emitting the same light emitted by the VR controllers during the detection of the VR controllers' pose information, thereby improving the accuracy of VR glasses in detecting the VR controllers' pose information.

[0078] Optionally, in this embodiment, the second light ray includes a third infrared light ray and a third polarized light ray. Specifically, step 203 can be implemented by the following step 203a:

[0079] Step 203a: If the VR glasses meet the preset conditions between the third infrared light and the third polarized light, determine the pose information of the VR controller based on the second light.

[0080] For example, the above-mentioned preset conditions may be at least one of the following: whether the relative positional relationship between the third infrared ray and the third polarized ray matches the preset positional relationship, whether the relative motion relationship between the third infrared ray and the third polarized ray matches the preset motion relationship, etc.

[0081] For example, the aforementioned preset conditions can be set in advance according to user needs, or they can be stored in the electronic device in advance.

[0082] Optionally, in the embodiments of this application, step 203a above can be implemented by at least one of the following steps 203a1 and 203a2:

[0083] Step 203a1: When the relative positional relationship between the third infrared ray and the third polarized ray matches the preset positional relationship, the VR glasses determine the pose information of the VR controller based on the third infrared ray and the third polarized ray.

[0084] For example, the above relative positional relationship is used to indicate the relative positional relationship between the first light source corresponding to the emission of the third infrared light and the second light source corresponding to the emission of the third polarized light.

[0085] For example, the aforementioned preset positional relationship is used to indicate the fixed positional relationship between the first light source emitting the third infrared light and the second light source emitting the third polarized light on the VR controller.

[0086] For example, the above matches can be identical or similar.

[0087] It should be noted that VR glasses can determine the pose information of the VR controllers by checking whether the relative positional relationship between the first light source emitting the third infrared light and the second light source emitting the third polarized light is the same as the fixed positional relationship. If they are the same, it means they are matched, and the pose information of the VR controllers can be determined based on the third infrared light and the third polarized light. If they are different, it means they are not matched, and it is necessary to continue sending light adjustment information to the VR controllers to determine their pose information based on the adjusted light from the VR controllers.

[0088] Step 203a2: When the relative motion relationship between the third infrared light and the third polarized light of the VR glasses matches the preset motion relationship, the pose information of the VR controller is determined based on the third infrared light and the third polarized light.

[0089] For example, the above relative motion relationship is used to indicate the relative motion direction between the third infrared ray and the third polarized ray.

[0090] For example, the aforementioned preset motion relationship can be a pre-stored preset motion direction.

[0091] For example, the above matches can be identical or similar.

[0092] It should be noted that VR glasses can determine the VR controller's pose information based on whether the relative motion direction between the third infrared light and the third polarized light is the same as the preset motion direction. If they are the same, it means they are matched, and the VR controller's pose information can be determined based on the third infrared light and the third polarized light. If they are different, it means they are not matched, and it is necessary to continue sending light adjustment information to the VR controller to determine its pose information based on the adjusted light.

[0093] Thus, it can be seen that, since VR glasses can determine the pose information of the VR controller based on the relative position or relative motion relationship between the third infrared light and the third polarized light under preset conditions, this can prevent the VR glasses from being interfered with by the same light emitted by other electronic devices, thereby improving the accuracy of the VR glasses in detecting pose information.

[0094] The pose information determination method provided in this application can be executed by a pose information determination device. This application uses the example of a pose information determination device executing the pose information determination method to illustrate the pose information determination device provided in this application.

[0097] Optionally, in this embodiment, the second ray includes a third infrared ray and a third polarized ray.

[0099] In the pose information determination device provided in this application embodiment, when the pose information determination device receives a first light source, it can instruct the VR controller to adjust the first light source to a second light source, and determine the pose information of the VR controller based on the second light source.
