Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention generally relates to mechanisms for managing devices, and more particularly to a method for pairing devices, an electronic system, and a computer-readable storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] Today, it is common for users to immerse themselves in the world of virtual reality (VR) by wearing head-mounted displays (HMDs). When using VR services provided by HMDs, users can interact with the VR world through gestures and / or accessory devices (e.g., handheld controllers or trackers that can be attached to other objects to be tracked).

[0003] Before users can interact with the VR world using their peripheral devices, the peripheral devices need to be paired with the HMD. However, the traditional method of pairing peripheral devices with the HMD is inconvenient.

[0004] For example, when a user wants to pair a handheld controller with an HMD, the user needs to press certain physical buttons on the handheld controller simultaneously to trigger the pairing mechanism between the handheld controller and the HMD. In this scenario, the user may need to switch the HMD to see-through mode to visually check whether the buttons on the handheld controller are being pressed correctly, which can interfere with the user's immersive VR experience.

[0005] Additionally, because multiple physical buttons on the handheld controller to be paired need to be pressed simultaneously, the user may need to use both hands to press these buttons, which may require the user to put down another handheld device (e.g., another handheld controller) in order to press the buttons on the handheld controller to be paired. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Therefore, the present invention relates to a method for pairing devices, an electronic system, and a computer-readable storage medium that can be used to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0021] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals are used as far as possible in the drawings and description to refer to the same or similar parts.

[0022] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an electronic system according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 1 In this embodiment, electronic system 100 includes a host 11 and electronic devices 121 to 12K. In various embodiments, host 11 may be any smart device and / or computer device capable of pairing with electronic devices 121 to 12K via communication protocols such as wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) and / or Bluetooth. In one embodiment, host 11 may be an HMD capable of providing reality services such as VR services, augmented reality (AR) services, and similar services.

[0023] In embodiments of the present invention, the host 11 includes a storage circuit and a processor. The storage circuit is one or a combination of fixed or mobile random access memory (RAM), read-only memory (ROM), flash memory, hard disk, or any other similar device, and the storage circuit records multiple modules executable by the processor.

[0024] The processor may be coupled to the storage circuitry, and the processor may be, for example, a general-purpose processor, a special-purpose processor, a conventional processor, a digital signal processor (DSP), multiple microprocessors, one or more microprocessors associated with a DSP core, a controller, a microcontroller, an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) circuit, any other type of integrated circuit (IC), a state machine, and similar processors.

[0025] In embodiments of the invention, each electronic device 121 to 12K may be any wearable and / or handheld device that can be paired with the host 11, such as a smart ring, smart bracelet, smartwatch, handheld controller, or similar device. In some embodiments, electronic devices 121 to 12K may be trackers for attaching to objects to be tracked, but the invention is not limited thereto. For ease of discussion, it will be assumed that the host 11 is an HMD for providing VR services, but the invention is not limited thereto.

[0026] In an embodiment of the present invention, electronic devices 121 to 12K may be configured to broadcast corresponding broadcast signals S1 to SK for pairing, wherein each broadcast signal S1 to SK carries identification information of the corresponding electronic device 121 to 12K.

[0027] In one embodiment, when a user wishes to pair one of electronic devices 121 to 12K (hereinafter referred to as the first electronic device) with some devices (e.g., host 11), the user may trigger the first electronic device to broadcast a corresponding broadcast signal (hereinafter referred to as the first broadcast signal) carrying the identification information of the first electronic device. For example, if the user wishes to pair electronic device 121 with host 11, the user may trigger electronic device 121 to broadcast a corresponding broadcast signal S1 carrying the identification information of electronic device 121. As another example, if the user wishes to pair electronic device 12K with host 11, the user may trigger electronic device 12K to broadcast a corresponding broadcast signal SK carrying the identification information of electronic device 12K, but the invention is not limited thereto.

[0028] In one embodiment, if the pairing protocol used by the first electronic device is Wi-Fi, the first broadcast signal may carry the Wi-Fi Internet protocol (IP) address of the first electronic device. In another embodiment, if the pairing protocol used by the first electronic device is Bluetooth, the first broadcast signal may carry the Bluetooth medium access control (MAC) address of the first electronic device, but the invention is not limited thereto.

[0029] In one embodiment, the first electronic device may be configured to broadcast a first broadcast signal after its booting procedure is completed. In other embodiments, the first electronic device may be configured with a specific button for a user to trigger the first electronic device to broadcast the first broadcast signal. For example, a user may press the specific button a certain number of times within a predetermined time period to trigger the first electronic device to broadcast the first broadcast signal. As another example, a user may press and hold the specific button for a predetermined time period to trigger the first electronic device to broadcast the first broadcast signal, but the invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0030] In an embodiment of the present invention, the processor of the host 11 may access modules stored in the storage circuit of the host 11 to implement the method for pairing devices provided in the present invention, which will be further discussed below.

[0031] See Figure 2 , Figure 2 A flowchart illustrating a method for a pairing device according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The method of this embodiment can be... Figure 1 Host 11 in the middle is used to execute, and the following will use Figure 1 The components shown are for illustration Figure 2 Details of each step in the process.

[0032] In embodiments of the present invention, the host 11 can determine whether its pairing function has been triggered. In one embodiment, the pairing function of the host 11 can be automatically triggered after the host 11's boot process is completed. In other embodiments, the host 11 may be configured with a pairing button for the user to trigger the pairing function. For example, the user may press the pairing button several times within a predetermined time period to trigger the pairing function of the host 11. Another example is that the user may press and hold the pairing button for a predetermined time period to trigger the pairing function of the host 11, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0033] In step S210, in response to the determination that the pairing function of the host 11 is triggered, the host 11 scans for at least one broadcast signal emitted by at least one electronic device. In embodiments of the invention, it is assumed that all electronic devices 121 to 12K are broadcasting corresponding broadcast signals S1 to SK, but the invention is not limited thereto. In this case, the host 11 may determine that broadcast signals S1 to SK have been scanned.

[0034] In embodiments of the invention, host 11 may perform similar operations on each of electronic devices 121 to 12K in response to determining that a corresponding broadcast signal S1 to SK has been scanned. Therefore, the first electronic device (i.e., one of electronic devices 121 to 12K) will be used as an example to illustrate the concept of the invention, but the invention is not limited thereto.

[0035] In step S220, in response to determining that a first broadcast signal from the first electronic device has been detected, the host 11 establishes a first connection with the first electronic device. In one embodiment, the first connection between the first electronic device and the host 11 can be understood as a dedicated channel for the first electronic device and the host 11 to exchange data with each other, and the protocol used to establish the first connection can be a wireless communication protocol, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and / or similar protocols.

[0036] In one embodiment, the first electronic device may be provided with one or more motion detection elements (e.g., inertial measurement unit, IMU) for detecting motion data (e.g., 6-degree-of-freedom (6DOF) data) of the first electronic device. In this case, after establishing a first connection between the first electronic device and the host 11, the host 11 can receive the detected motion data from the first electronic device through the first connection, but the invention is not limited thereto.

[0037] In an embodiment of the invention, since it is assumed that all broadcast signals S1 to SK are scanned by the host 11, the host 11 can establish a connection with each of the electronic devices 121 to 12K.

[0038] In step S230, the host 11 provides a first operation prompt. In embodiments of the present invention, the first operation prompt may be a visual and / or auditory prompt provided to the user by the HMD to instruct the user to perform some specific movement and / or operation.

[0039] In one embodiment, if host 11 wishes to pair with a specific electronic device corresponding to the first object portion, host 11 may use a first operation prompt to instruct the user to perform certain movements and / or operations on the specific electronic device and / or the first object portion. It should be noted that host 11 is unaware of which of the electronic devices 121 to 12K is the specific electronic device at this time, and therefore host 11 may perform the following procedure to determine which of the electronic devices 121 to 12K is the specific electronic device corresponding to the first object portion.

[0040] In various embodiments, the host 11 may use a first operation prompt to instruct the user to: (1) move a specific electronic device according to a specific movement pattern (e.g., wave the specific electronic device); (2) press a specific button on the specific electronic device; and / or (3) perform a specific operation on the camera of the specific electronic device (e.g., cover the camera of the specific electronic device), but the invention is not limited thereto.

[0041] For example, assuming the first object portion is the user's right hand of the host 11 and the specific electronic device to be paired is a handheld controller in the user's right hand, the first operation prompt can be used to instruct the user to wave their right hand, press a specific button on the handheld controller in their right hand and / or cover the camera of the handheld controller in their right hand, but the invention is not limited thereto.

[0042] In this scenario, a specific electronic device (let's say one of electronic devices 121 to 12K) will provide corresponding operational information to the host 11 via the connection between the specific electronic device and the host 11. For example, if a first operational prompt instructs the user to move the specific electronic device according to a specific movement pattern, the specific electronic device (and other electronic devices 121 to 12K) can provide motion data as operational information to the host 11. If the first operational prompt instructs the user to press a specific button on the specific electronic device, the specific electronic device (and other electronic devices 121 to 12K) can provide the button event as operational information to the host 11. If the first operational prompt instructs the user to perform a specific operation on the camera of the specific electronic device, the specific electronic device (and other electronic devices 121 to 12K) can provide the host 11 with an image captured by the camera of the specific electronic device.

[0043] Since the host 11 has established a connection with each of the electronic devices 121 to 12K, the host 11 can receive the operation information of each of the electronic devices 121 to 12K via the corresponding connection.

[0044] Therefore, in step S240, the host 11 receives the first operation information from the first electronic device through the first connection.

[0045] In one embodiment, if the host 11 determines that the operation information of one of the electronic devices 121 to 12K corresponds to the first operation prompt, the host 11 can know that the electronic device is a specific electronic device and pair with the electronic device accordingly.

[0046] Therefore, after receiving the first operation information from the first electronic device, the host 11 determines whether the first operation information corresponds to the first operation prompt.

[0047] In an embodiment where the first operation information is motion data detected by the first electronic device, the host 11 can determine whether the motion pattern formed by the motion data of the first electronic device matches and / or corresponds to a specific movement pattern indicated by the first operation prompt. If so, it indicates that the first electronic device is a specific electronic device associated with or corresponding to the first object portion. On the other hand, if the movement pattern formed by the motion data of the first electronic device does not match and / or correspond to the specific movement pattern indicated by the first operation prompt, it indicates that the first electronic device is not a specific electronic device associated with or corresponding to the first object portion.

[0048] In an embodiment where the first operation information is a button event detected by a first electronic device, the host 11 can determine whether the button event indicates that a second specific button on the first electronic device has been triggered, wherein the second specific button on the first electronic device corresponds to the first specific button on a specific electronic device pressed by the user according to the first operation prompt. If so, it indicates that the first electronic device is a specific electronic device associated with or corresponding to the first object portion. On the other hand, if the button event indicates that the second specific button on the first electronic device has not been triggered according to the instruction of the first operation prompt, it indicates that the first electronic device is not a specific electronic device associated with or corresponding to the first object portion.

[0049] In an embodiment where the first operation information is an image captured by the first camera of the first electronic device, the host 11 may perform image recognition on the image provided by the first electronic device and determine whether the result of the image recognition indicates that the operation performed on the first camera corresponds to a specific operation indicated by the first operation prompt. If so, it indicates that the first electronic device is a specific electronic device associated with or corresponding to the first object portion. On the other hand, if the result of the image recognition indicates that the operation performed on the first camera does not correspond to the specific operation indicated by the first operation prompt, it indicates that the first electronic device is not a specific electronic device associated with or corresponding to the first object portion.

[0050] Therefore, in step S250, in response to determining that the first operation information corresponds to the first operation prompt, the host 11 pairs with the first electronic device. Additionally, the host 11 can also determine whether the first operation prompt is related to the first object portion. For example, the host 11 can determine whether the first operation prompt involves instructing the first object portion to perform some operation and / or movement. If so, the host 11 can determine that the first operation prompt is related to the first object portion, and vice versa.

[0051] In one embodiment, in response to determining that a first operation prompt is associated with a first object portion corresponding to a specific electronic device, the host 11 assigns the first electronic device to correspond to the first object portion or the specific electronic device.

[0052] For example, if a first operation prompt instructs the user to wave a handheld controller (i.e., a specific electronic device) in their right hand (i.e., the first object portion), and the first electronic device is identified as the specific electronic device, the host 11 may assign the first electronic device to correspond to the user's right hand and / or the handheld controller in the user's right hand, but the invention is not limited thereto.

[0053] In one embodiment, the visual content (e.g., VR content) provided to the user of the host 11 may include a VR avatar, wherein the VR avatar has a body part (e.g., the right hand) corresponding to the first object portion, and this body part can be controlled by the user 399 via a first electronic device. In this case, after the host 11 assigns the first electronic device to correspond to the first object portion, the user 399 can control the body part of the VR avatar by moving the first electronic device, but the invention is not limited thereto.

[0054] Therefore, embodiments of the present invention provide a novel and convenient method for pairing the host 11 with the first electronic device based on the correspondence between a first operation prompt and first operation information of the first electronic device. In this case, the user's immersive VR experience can be maintained during pairing of the HMD with an accessory device (e.g., a handheld controller), thereby improving the user experience.

[0055] To better understand the concept of this invention, Figure 3 This will be used as an example. See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 An application scenario according to an embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. Figure 3 In this setup, the main unit 11 is an HMD worn by user 399. Electronic devices 121 and 122 are handheld controllers held by user 399 in their right and left hands, respectively. Electronic devices 123 and 124 are smart ankle trackers worn by user 399 on their right and left legs, respectively.

[0056] In this embodiment, it is assumed that host 11 has established a connection with each of the electronic devices 121 to 124 based on the above teachings. That is, host 11 can receive operational information from each of the electronic devices 121 to 124 via the corresponding connection.

[0057] In an embodiment, when a system / application / service / game on host 11 wishes to guide user 399 to pair host 11 with a specific electronic device in user 399's right hand, host 11 may display a first operation prompt to instruct user 399, for example, to cover the camera of the specific electronic device in user 399's right hand. Therefore, user 399 will cover the camera of electronic device 121 in their right hand. In this scenario, host 11 will determine that only operation information (e.g., images) received from electronic device 121 matches and / or corresponds to the first operation prompt (i.e., the image recognition result indicates that the camera of electronic device 121 is covered). Therefore, host 11 can pair with electronic device 121 and assign electronic device 121 to correspond to user 399's right hand. In this scenario, the user can interact with services provided by host 11 by moving electronic device 121, such as controlling a VR avatar displayed in VR content provided by host 11, but the invention is not limited to this.

[0058] In this embodiment, when the host 11 wishes to pair with a specific electronic device in the left hand of the user 399, the host 11 may display a first operation prompt to instruct the user 399, for example, to press a first specific button on the specific electronic device in the user 399's left hand. Therefore, the user 399 will press a second specific button (corresponding to the first specific button) on the electronic device 122 in their left hand. In this case, the host 11 will determine that only button events received from the electronic device 122 indicate that the second specific button on the electronic device 122 is triggered according to the instruction of the first operation prompt. Therefore, the host 11 can pair with the electronic device 122 and assign the electronic device 122 to correspond to the user 399's left hand.

[0059] In one embodiment, when the host 11 wishes to pair with a specific electronic device worn on the right leg of the user 399, the host 11 may display a first operation prompt to instruct the user 399, for example, to kick their right leg. In this case, the host 11 will determine that only operation information (e.g., motion data) received from the electronic device 123 matches and / or corresponds to the kicking movement pattern. In this case, the host 11 may pair with the electronic device 123 and assign the electronic device 123 to correspond to the right leg of the user 399.

[0060] In this embodiment, when the host 11 wishes to pair with a specific electronic device worn on the left leg of the user 399, the host 11 may display a first operation prompt to instruct the user 399, for example, to draw a circle with their left leg. In this case, the host 11 will determine that only operation information (e.g., motion data) received from the electronic device 124 matches and / or corresponds to the movement pattern of drawing a circle. In this case, the host 11 may pair with the electronic device 124 and assign the electronic device 124 to correspond to the left leg of the user 399.

[0061] The present invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium for performing a method for pairing a device. The computer-readable storage medium comprises a plurality of program instructions (e.g., setting program instructions and deploying program instructions) implemented therein. These program instructions can be loaded into and executed by a host 11 to perform the aforementioned method for pairing a device and the functions of the host 11.

[0062] In summary, embodiments of the present invention provide a novel and convenient method for pairing a host device and an electronic device based on the correspondence between operation prompts and operational information of the electronic device. In this scenario, the user's immersive VR experience can be maintained during pairing of the HMD with an accessory device (e.g., a handheld controller), thereby improving the user experience.

[0063] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to the structure of the invention without departing from the scope or spirit of the invention. In summary, this invention is intended to cover modifications and variations of the invention that fall within the scope of the claims and their equivalents.
