Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of VR technology, and in particular to a wear detection system and its control method, wear detection components and VR devices. Background Technology

[0002] VR (Virtual Reality) glasses are a type of virtual reality head-mounted display device. With the development of technology, VR devices can automatically turn the screen on and off by detecting whether the user is wearing them.

[0003] Currently, the common method used in the VR industry is to employ infrared proximity sensors. The principle behind infrared proximity sensors is that light emitted from the sensor's transmitter is reflected by the face onto the receiver, thus turning the screen from off to on. However, when the receiver of the proximity sensor does not receive the reflected light, the system assumes that no one is wearing the VR product, and the screen automatically turns off to save power. Furthermore, the infrared proximity sensor method of detecting wear is susceptible to dirt and grime; when the sensor's transmitting or receiving window is obstructed by dirt or other objects, it can easily lead to false alarms.

[0004] In summary, the traditional method of detecting whether a user is wearing a VR device using an infrared proximity sensor is prone to misjudgment.

[0041] The purpose, features, and advantages of this application will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0042] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0043] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments.

[0046] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "first" and "second" in this application is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only on the basis of being achievable by those skilled in the art. If the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, such a combination of technical solutions should be considered non-existent and not within the scope of protection claimed in this application.

[0047] This application provides a wear detection system.

[0048] In one embodiment of this application, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the frame structure of an embodiment of the wear detection system of this application. Figure 2 The diagram illustrates the states of VR devices being worn and not worn. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the wearing effect of a VR device. The wearing detection system includes: a first wearing component C, a second wearing component D, an elastic component A, and a main controller B.

[0049] The first wearing component C and the second wearing component D are connected through the elastic component A, and the second wearing component D is connected to the main controller B. The first wearing component C and the second wearing component D are connected by contact based on the tension of the elastic component A.

[0050] Traditional methods of detecting whether a user is wearing a VR device using infrared proximity sensors assume that no one is wearing the VR product when the sensor's receiver does not receive reflected light, and the screen automatically turns off to save power. Furthermore, this method is susceptible to contamination; dirt or other objects can obstruct the sensor's transmitting or receiving window, leading to false alarms. It also requires precise assembly; improper assembly can cause the proximity sensor to be blocked, affecting its readings. Additionally, continuously emitting infrared light to detect VR device wear results in very high power consumption, reducing the VR device's battery life.

[0051] In this embodiment, the first wearing component C and the second wearing component D together constitute the side strap of the VR device. The elastic component A makes the side strap stretchable. The VR (Virtual Reality) device can specifically be VR glasses, a VR headset, etc. (See reference...) Figure 2In diagram (A), (A) is a schematic diagram of the sideband without the VR device being worn. When the user is not wearing the VR device, the first wearing component C and the second wearing component D are connected by the tension of the elastic component A. At this time, the main controller B detects the contact connection between the first wearing component C and the second wearing component D through the second wearing component D. (Reference) Figure 3 and reference Figure 2 (B) in the middle Figure 3 (A) is a schematic diagram of the VR device wearing effect. (B) is a schematic diagram of the side strap of the VR device. When the user wears the VR device, the first wearing part C and the second wearing part D are separated by pulling the elastic part A, so that the first wearing part C and the second wearing part D are not in contact. At this time, the main controller B detects that the first wearing part C and the second wearing part D are not in contact through the second wearing part D. Therefore, by detecting whether a user is wearing a VR device, this invention eliminates the need for infrared proximity sensors that rely on light emitted from the sensor's transmitter tube being reflected by the face to the receiver. This avoids the misjudgment caused by the receiver not receiving the reflected infrared light, which would otherwise lead to the assumption that the user is not wearing the VR device. Instead, this invention separates the first wearing component C from the second wearing component D when the VR device is being worn. When not wearing the device, the elastic component A prevents the first wearing component C from contacting the second wearing component D, thus determining whether the user is wearing the VR device. This eliminates the need to consider the traditional transmitter or receiver windows being obstructed by dirt or other objects, significantly improving the accuracy of VR device detection. Furthermore, it eliminates the need to consider the assembly difficulty of the transmitter and receiver, thereby reducing assembly complexity. Additionally, it omits part of the sensor circuitry, simplifying the circuitry and saving costs.

[0052] In addition, there can be multiple first wearing components C, multiple second wearing components D, and multiple elastic components. Each elastic component is connected between two wearing components. The main controller B is connected to one of the wearing components of the second wearing component D. Thus, the main controller B detects whether the state of multiple elastic components is open when it detects the wearing component. If the state of three elastic components is closed, it is confirmed that the user is wearing the VR device, thereby improving the reliability of determining whether the user is wearing the VR device.

[0053] Additionally, the wear detection system may include an adjuster connected to either the first wearing component C or the second wearing component D. Given the varying head sizes of users, particularly the differences between adults and children, when a child wears the VR device, the first wearing component C and the second wearing component D may not be fully stretched, causing the main controller B to determine that the user is not wearing the VR device. The adjuster can be used to adjust the side strap length of either the first wearing component C or the second wearing component D before wearing the device. For example, when a child with a smaller head wears the device, the adjuster can further shorten either the first wearing component C or the second wearing component D, thus ensuring that the first wearing component C or the second wearing component D is fully stretched and that the main controller B detects no contact between them. Furthermore, to prevent the elastic component A from losing its elasticity after prolonged use by adults, the side strap length of the first wearing component C or the second wearing component D can be manually adjusted using the adjuster, thus adapting to various wearing scenarios for both children and adults.

[0054] Alternatively, the elastic component D can also be a magnetic component. The first part of the magnetic component is connected to the first wearing component C, and the second part of the magnetic component is connected to the second wearing component D. When the user is not wearing the VR device, the first wearing component C and the second wearing component D are connected by the magnetic force of the magnetic component. When the user is wearing the VR device, the first wearing component C and the second wearing component D are separated by external force, so that the first wearing component C and the second wearing component D are not in contact. Thus, the main controller determines whether the user is wearing the VR device by detecting the state of no contact between the first wearing component C and the second wearing component D.

[0055] Optionally, in some feasible embodiments, reference is made to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the circuit connection between the first and second wearing components of the wearing detection system of the present invention. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure and circuit of an embodiment of the wear detection system of this application. The first wear component C includes: a first side strap C1 and a first metal piece C2, and the second wear component D includes: a second side strap D1 and a second metal piece D2.

[0056] The first side strip C1 is connected to the first metal part C2, the second side strip D1 is connected to the second metal part D2, the first end of the elastic component A is connected to the first metal part C2, the second end of the elastic component A is connected to the second side strip D1, and the second metal part D2 is connected to the main controller B. The first metal part C2 and the second metal part D2 are connected by contact based on the tension of the elastic component A.

[0057] In this embodiment, the first sideband C1 can be the first outer shell of the VR device sideband, and the second sideband C1 can be the second outer shell of the VR device sideband. When wearing the VR device, pulling apart the first sideband C1 and the second sideband D1 prevents the first metal component C2 and the second metal component D2 from making contact. When not wearing the VR device, the first sideband C1 and the second sideband D1 retract based on the elastic component A, making the first metal component C2 and the second metal component D2 make contact. It should be noted that the first metal component C2 and the second metal component D2 are conductors. When the first metal component C2 and the second metal component D2 are in contact or not in contact, the main controller B detects a signal change in the second metal component D2 and determines whether the first metal component C2 and the second metal component D2 are in contact or not based on this signal change. Therefore, it can confirm whether the user is wearing the VR device upon contact and whether the user is wearing the VR device when there is no contact. By detecting the presence of wearing action, it determines whether the user is wearing the VR device, eliminating the need for an infrared receiver sensor. This allows for more accurate detection. Furthermore, it eliminates the need to consider the assembly difficulty of the transmitter and receiver, thus reducing assembly complexity. It also omits some sensor circuitry, thereby simplifying the circuitry and saving costs.

[0058] refer to Figure 5 When the VR device is not worn, the first wearing component C and the second wearing component D are shortened under the tension of the elastic component A, and the first metal piece C2 and the second metal piece D2 are in contact. When the VR device is worn, the first wearing component C and the second wearing component D are pulled apart under the external force of the elastic component A, and the first metal piece C2 and the second metal piece D2 are not in contact. Thus, it can be confirmed that the user is not wearing the VR device when they are in contact, and that the user is wearing the VR device when they are not in contact. By detecting whether the VR device is being worn, it is possible to determine whether the user is wearing the VR device, without the need for an infrared receiving sensor. This allows for a more accurate detection of whether the user is wearing the VR device.

[0059] For example, the main controller B determines whether the first metal component C2 is in contact with the second metal component D2 or not by detecting the current level signal change of the second metal component D2. If the current level signal of the second metal component D2 is high, it is confirmed that the first metal component C2 and the second metal component D2 are not in contact, thus determining that the user is wearing a VR device. If the current level signal of the second metal component D2 is low, it is confirmed that the first metal component C2 and the second metal component D2 are in contact, thus determining that the user is not wearing a VR device. This eliminates the need to use an infrared receiving sensor to determine whether the user is wearing a VR device, thereby more accurately detecting whether the user is wearing a VR device.

[0060] It should be noted that elastic component A can specifically be a spring, or other components with elastic capabilities, such as an elastic band, etc. (Refer to...) Figure 4 The elastic component A can be one on the top and one on the bottom of the second metal component D2, or it can be two on the top and two on the bottom, depending on the specific setting of the elastic force value.

[0061] Optionally, in some feasible embodiments, the main controller includes: a general interface;

[0062] The universal interface is connected to the second metal component.

[0063] In this embodiment, the general-purpose interface is a GPIO (General-purpose input / output) port. This interface can transmit voltage information to the main controller B in real time. The main controller B monitors the voltage through this interface, determining whether the user is wearing the VR device by detecting whether the current voltage of the second metal component D2 is high or low. If the main controller B detects a high voltage signal on the second metal component D2 through the general-purpose interface, it confirms that the first metal component C2 and the second metal component D2 are not in contact, thus determining that the user is wearing the VR device. If the current voltage signal on the second metal component D2 is low, it confirms that the first metal component C2 and the second metal component D2 are in contact, thus determining that the user is not wearing the VR device. This method of detecting whether the user is wearing the VR device eliminates the need for an infrared receiving sensor, resulting in more accurate detection. Furthermore, it eliminates the need to consider the assembly difficulty of the transmitter and receiver, thus reducing assembly complexity. Additionally, it omits some sensor circuitry, simplifying the circuit and saving costs.

[0064] Optionally, in some feasible embodiments, reference is made to Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a circuit diagram of an embodiment of the wear detection system of this application. The wear detection system further includes: a resistor R;

[0065] The first end of the resistor R is connected to the second metal part D2 and the general interface respectively, and the second end of the resistor R is connected to an external power supply module.

[0066] In this embodiment, resistor R serves to pull up the resistance and protect the main controller B. Since the first metal component C2 is grounded, when the first metal component C2 is in contact with the second metal component D2, the voltage signal detected by the main controller B of the second metal component D2 is 0V, which is a low level. When the first metal component C2 and the second metal component D2 are not in contact, the voltage signal detected by the main controller B of the second metal component D2 is the same as the preset reference voltage Ref, which is a high level. Therefore, the main controller B determines whether the user is wearing a VR device by detecting the voltage signal of the second metal component D2. By detecting whether the VR device is being worn, the main controller B determines whether the user is wearing a VR device without needing to use an infrared receiving sensor. This allows for more accurate detection of whether the user is wearing a VR device. Furthermore, it eliminates the need to consider the ease of assembly of the transmitter and receiver, thus reducing assembly difficulty. Additionally, it omits part of the sensor circuitry, thereby simplifying the circuit and saving costs.

[0067] For example, the preset reference voltage Ref can be 1.8V. If the voltage signal of the second metal part D2 detected by the main controller B is 0V (low level), it is confirmed that the user is wearing the VR device. If the voltage signal of the second metal part D2 detected by the main controller B is 1.8V (high level), it is confirmed that the user is not wearing the VR device.

[0068] Optionally, in some feasible embodiments, reference is made to Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of a display screen connection frame according to an embodiment of the wear detection system of this application. The wear detection system further includes: a display screen E;

[0069] The main controller B is connected to the display screen E.

[0070] In this embodiment, the main controller B turns the display screen E on and off based on the voltage signal detected by the second metal component D2. After the user powers on the VR device, if the main controller B detects that the user is not wearing the VR device, it controls the display screen E to turn off automatically. If the main controller B detects that the user is wearing the VR device again, it controls the display screen E to turn on automatically. Thus, by directly detecting whether the user is wearing the VR device, the main controller B achieves energy saving and automatic screen turning on, thereby improving the user experience.

[0071] In addition, the main controller B is connected to the camera. After confirming that the first wearing component C and the second wearing component D are not in contact, the main controller B continues to use the camera to obtain whether the user's eyes are closed after the user puts on the VR device. If it is confirmed that the user's eyes are closed, it is confirmed that the user has entered sleep after putting on the VR device. At this time, the display screen E is turned off and the device enters the power saving state.

[0072] Based on various embodiments of the wear detection system of the present invention, various embodiments of the control method of the wear detection system of the present invention are proposed, with reference to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the frame structure of an embodiment of the wear detection system of this application. Figure 2 The diagram illustrates the states of VR devices being worn and not worn. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the wearing effect of a VR device. In one embodiment of the control method for the wearing detection system, refer to... Figure 8 , Figure 8 This is a flowchart of an embodiment of the control method for the wear detection system of the present invention. The control method for the wear detection system includes:

[0073] Step S10: Detect whether there is contact connection between the first wearing component and the second wearing component;

[0074] In this embodiment, the VR device can be connected to a preset terminal device. Specifically, the main controller B can be connected to the preset terminal device. The main controller B determines the user's usage time of the VR device by detecting the contact connection time between the first and second wearing components, and sends the VR device usage time to the terminal device, thereby allowing the user to receive the actual usage time of the VR device. Furthermore, the VR device usage time can be advanced. Based on the main controller B's determination of the user's actual usage time by detecting the contact connection time between the first and second wearing components, and when the main controller B detects that the VR device usage time is within a predetermined time period, the main controller B turns off the display screen, thus realizing the control of the VR device's usage time based on the terminal device.

[0075] In this embodiment, the control method of the wear detection system is applied to the aforementioned wear detection system. The main controller B detects whether there is contact connection between the first wearing component C and the second wearing component D. Figure 2 In diagram (A), (A) is a schematic diagram of the sideband without the VR device being worn. When the user is not wearing the VR device, the first wearing component C and the second wearing component D are connected by the tension of the elastic component A. At this time, the main controller B detects the contact connection between the first wearing component C and the second wearing component D through the second wearing component D. (Reference) Figure 3 and reference Figure 2 (B) in the middle Figure 3(A) is a schematic diagram of the VR device wearing effect. (B) is a schematic diagram of the side strap of the VR device. When the user wears the VR device, the first wearing part C and the second wearing part D are separated by pulling the elastic part A, so that the first wearing part C and the second wearing part D are not in contact. At this time, the main controller B detects that the first wearing part C and the second wearing part D are not in contact through the second wearing part D. Therefore, by detecting whether a user is wearing a VR device, this invention eliminates the need for infrared proximity sensors that rely on light emitted from the sensor's transmitter tube being reflected by the face to the receiver. This avoids the misjudgment caused by the receiver not receiving the reflected infrared light, which would otherwise lead to the assumption that the user is not wearing the VR device. Instead, this invention separates the first wearing component C from the second wearing component D when the VR device is being worn. When not wearing the device, the elastic component A prevents the first wearing component C from contacting the second wearing component D, thus determining whether the user is wearing the VR device. This eliminates the need to consider the traditional transmitter or receiver windows being obstructed by dirt or other objects, significantly improving the accuracy of VR device detection. Furthermore, it eliminates the need to consider the assembly difficulty of the transmitter and receiver, thereby reducing assembly complexity. Additionally, it omits part of the sensor circuitry, simplifying the circuitry and saving costs.

[0076] Step S20: If a contact connection is detected between the first wearing component and the second wearing component, it is confirmed that the user is not wearing a VR device;

[0077] In this embodiment, Figure 2 As shown in (A), if a contact connection is detected between the first wearing component C1 and the second wearing component C2, it is confirmed that the user is not wearing a VR device.

[0078] Step S30: If it is detected that there is no contact connection between the first wearing component and the second wearing component, then it is confirmed that the user is wearing the VR device.

[0079] In this embodiment, Figure 3 and Figure 2 As shown in (B), if it is detected that there is no contact connection between the first wearing component C1 and the second wearing component C2, it is confirmed that the user is wearing the VR device.

[0080] Optionally, in some feasible embodiments, reference is made to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the circuit connection between the first wearing component and the second wearing component in one embodiment of the wearing detection system of this application. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram comparing the structure and circuit of an embodiment of the wear detection system of this application. Step S10 may include the following steps:

[0081] Step S101: Obtain the level signal of the second metal component;

[0082] In this embodiment, the main controller B acquires the voltage signal of the second metal component D2 in real time through a general interface. Since the first metal component C2 is grounded, it is at a low level when the voltage signal is 0V and at a high level when the voltage signal is 1.8V. Since the preset reference voltage Ref is 1.8V, the main controller B acquires the voltage of the second metal component D2 as high when it is 1.8V.

[0083] Step S102: When the level signal is detected to be low, confirm that the first wearing component and the second wearing component are in contact.

[0084] In this embodiment, since the first metal component C2 is grounded, when the main controller B detects a low-level signal, it confirms that the first wearing component C and the second wearing component D are in contact, i.e., the first metal component C2 and the second metal component D2 are in contact, thus confirming that the user is not wearing the VR device. When the main controller B detects a high-level signal, it confirms that the first wearing component C and the second wearing component D are not in contact, i.e., the first metal component C2 and the second metal component D2 are not in contact, thus confirming that the user is wearing the VR device. Therefore, it eliminates the need to consider the traditional transmitter or receiver window being obstructed by dirt or other objects, greatly improving the accuracy of detecting whether a VR device is being worn. Furthermore, it eliminates the need to consider the ease of assembly of the transmitter and receiver, thus reducing assembly difficulty. Additionally, it omits part of the sensor circuitry, thereby simplifying the circuitry and saving costs.

[0085] refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure and circuit of an embodiment of the VR device wearing detection system of this application. When the VR device is not worn, the first wearing component C and the second wearing component D are shortened under the tension of the elastic component A. Correspondingly, the first metal piece C2 and the second metal piece D2 are in contact. When the VR device is worn, the first wearing component C and the second wearing component D are pulled apart under the external force of the elastic component A. Correspondingly, the first metal piece C2 and the second metal piece D2 are not in contact. Thus, it is confirmed that the user is not wearing the VR device when they are in contact, and it is confirmed that the user is wearing the VR device when they are not in contact. By detecting whether the VR device is being worn, it is determined whether the user is wearing the VR device, without the need to use an infrared receiving sensor to determine whether the user is wearing the VR device. Therefore, it is more accurate to detect whether the user is wearing the VR device.

[0086] For example, in this embodiment, the main controller B determines whether the first metal component C2 is in contact with the second metal component D2 or not by detecting the current level signal change of the second metal component D2. If the current level signal of the second metal component D2 is high, it is confirmed that the first metal component C2 and the second metal component D2 are not in contact, thereby determining that the user is wearing a VR device. If the current level signal of the second metal component D2 is low, it is confirmed that the first metal component C2 and the second metal component D2 are in contact, thereby determining that the user is not wearing a VR device. This eliminates the need to use an infrared receiving sensor to determine whether the user is wearing a VR device, thus enabling more accurate detection of whether the user is wearing a VR device.

[0087] For example, in this embodiment, the preset reference voltage Ref can be 1.8V. If the voltage signal of the second metal part D2 detected by the main controller B is 0V (low level), it is confirmed that the user is wearing the VR device. If the voltage signal of the second metal part D2 detected by the main controller B is 1.8V (high level), it is confirmed that the user is not wearing the VR device.

[0088] Optionally, in some feasible embodiments, reference is made to Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of a display screen connection frame according to an embodiment of the wear detection system of this application. The control method of the wear detection system may further include the following steps:

[0089] Step S40: When the device is powered on, obtain the low-level time period during which the level signal sent by the second metal component is continuously low, and confirm whether the low-level time period is greater than a preset time period;

[0090] In this embodiment, as Figure 7 As shown, the display screen E is connected to the main controller B. When the VR device is powered on, the main controller B obtains the low-level signal sent by the second metal component D2 for a continuous low-level period of time and confirms whether the low-level period of time is greater than the preset period of time. Thus, when the VR device is powered on, the display screen E is automatically turned on. In the first certain period of time after powering on, the main controller B detects whether the level signal sent by the second metal component D2 is continuously low.

[0091] Step S50: If it is confirmed that the low-level time period is longer than the preset time period, then control the display screen to turn off.

[0092] In this embodiment, the main controller B detects that when the level signal sent by the second metal component D2 remains low for a certain period of time after power-on, it controls the display screen E to turn off. This achieves automatic screen shutdown when the VR device is not being worn, resulting in energy savings. Therefore, it eliminates the need to consider the traditional transmitter or receiver window being obstructed by dirt or other objects, greatly improving the accuracy of detecting whether a VR device is being worn. Furthermore, it eliminates the need to consider the ease of assembly of the transmitter and receiver, thus reducing assembly difficulty. Additionally, it omits part of the sensor circuitry, thereby simplifying the circuitry and saving costs.

[0093] In addition, the main controller B is connected to the camera. After confirming that the first wearing component C and the second wearing component D are not in contact, the main controller B continues to use the camera to obtain whether the user's eyes are closed after the user puts on the VR device. If it is confirmed that the user's eyes are closed, it is confirmed that the user has entered sleep after putting on the VR device. At this time, the display screen E is turned off and the device enters the power saving state.

[0094] This application provides a control method for a wear detection system. The method detects whether a first wearing component and a second wearing component are in contact. If contact is detected between the first and second wearing components, it confirms that the user is not wearing a VR device; if no contact is detected between the first and second wearing components, it confirms that the user is wearing a VR device. This application detects whether the user is wearing a VR device by detecting the stretching and shortening of the first and second wearing components. Specifically, it confirms the user is wearing a VR device when the components are stretched and confirms the user is not wearing a VR device when the components are shortened. Therefore, by detecting the presence of wearing motion, it determines whether the user is wearing a VR device, eliminating the need for an infrared receiving sensor and thus providing a more accurate detection of whether the user is wearing a VR device.
