However, due to the generally low usage rate of XR devices, they are idle most of the time, which means that the powerful computing and sensing capabilities of XR devices cannot be effectively utilized, resulting in a waste of high computing resources.

Detailed Implementation

[0015] 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.

[0016] 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.

[0017] XR devices are used infrequently and for short periods at a time, resulting in them remaining idle most of the time. For example, after using an XR device, users typically handle it in the following ways: 1. Charge the XR device; 2. Store the XR device in a storage box, storage bag, or other suitable place; 3. Place the XR equipment on a display shelf for exhibition; 4. Place the XR device on the charging dock to charge it while storing it.

[0018] Currently, the way XR devices are handled after use—whether stored, displayed, or charged—essentially leaves them in a static and idle state. Because mainstream XR devices possess high-performance CPUs, multiple cameras, and various sensor modules, giving them powerful computing and sensing capabilities, and given the generally low usage rate and short duration of each use, the fact that XR devices remain idle most of the time after use means that their powerful computing and sensing capabilities are not effectively utilized, resulting in a waste of high computing power and spatial perception capabilities.

[0019] In response to the above-mentioned situation, this application proposes a charging device adapted to XR devices. When the XR device is in an idle state, by mounting the XR device on the charging device, the charging device can move or rotate the XR device, enabling the XR device to perform specific functions in the idle state, such as: monitoring functions of specific angles or positions, image capture functions of specific spaces, and generating three-dimensional images based on photos or videos of specific spaces. This fully utilizes the computing power and sensing capabilities of the XR device in the idle state.

[0020] The charging device, extended reality (XR) component, control method, control device, and electronic device provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0021] See Figure 1 The charging device 100 provided in this application embodiment includes: a base 10, a battery 11, a charging structure 12, a detachable connector 13, a moving mechanism 14, and a first driving structure 15; The battery 11 is housed in the base 10, and the battery 11 is electrically connected to the charging structure 12 and the first driving structure 15 respectively. The moving mechanism 14 is disposed on the lower surface 101 of the base 10, and the detachable connector 13 is disposed on the upper surface 102 of the base 10. The first drive structure 15 is connected to the moving mechanism 14 and is used to drive the moving mechanism 14 to roll in at least one direction.

[0022] In some implementations, such as Figure 1 As shown, the moving mechanism 14 can move in at least one direction, either the X-axis or the Y-axis. This allows for changes in the spatial position of the charging device 100, and when an XR device is mounted on the charging device 100, it can drive the XR device to move its controls.

[0023] In some embodiments, the moving mechanism 14 may include rollers, such as casters or roller sets, which are disposed on the lower surface 101 of the base 10. The rollers then roll in at least one direction under the drive of the first drive structure 15. By providing rollers on the lower surface 101 of the base 10 and driving them using the first drive structure 15, the entire charging device 100 can be moved relative to the ground as the rollers roll, thus achieving spatial position adjustment of the charging device 100. When an XR device is mounted on the charging device 100, the spatial position of the XR device can also be adjusted.

[0024] In some embodiments, the first drive structure 15 may include any type of drive structure such as a rotary motor or an electromagnetic drive coil, and the type of the first drive structure 15 is not specifically limited here.

[0025] In some implementations, such as Figure 3b As shown, the charging structure 12 may include a USB charging structure, such as a USB charging cable or a USB interface. In this way, when the XR device is electrically connected to the charging structure 12 via the USB charging cable, the battery 11 in the charging device 100 can charge the XR device through the charging structure 12.

[0026] Of course, the charging structure 12 can also be other types of charging structures, such as wireless charging structures, etc. The type of charging structure 12 is not specifically limited here.

[0027] In some embodiments, the detachable connector 13 may include any component such as a clamping member, a limiting member, or a strap that enables the XR device to be mounted on the charging device 100 or detached from the charging device 100. For ease of explanation, in the embodiments of this application, the detachable connector 13 is typically described as an elastic clamping member, which does not constitute a specific limitation.

[0028] In some embodiments, the charging device 100 can be used to move or rotate the XR device 200, thereby achieving at least one of the following functions: The XR device 200 captures images using its camera to enable monitoring. The XR device 200 captures images of a specified location, space, or object using its camera. Depth information is acquired through the Time of Flight (ToF) camera on the XR device 200, and image information is acquired through the Virtual Studio Technology (VST) camera. Then, the computing power of the XR device 200 is used to process the depth information and image information to generate a spatial three-dimensional image. The XR device 200 is controlled to move or rotate along a designated route, and may take photos or videos using a camera while rotating to achieve the patrol function.

[0029] In this embodiment, the charging device includes: a base, a battery, a charging structure, a moving mechanism, a detachable connector, and a first driving structure. The battery is housed within the base and is electrically connected to both the charging structure and the first driving structure. The moving mechanism is disposed on the lower surface of the base, and the detachable connector is disposed on the upper surface of the base. The first driving structure is connected to the moving mechanism and drives the moving mechanism to roll in at least one direction. Thus, when the XR device is idle, it can be mounted on the charging device to form an XR assembly. In this case, the charging device can move the XR device in space. Therefore, even when the user is not wearing the XR device, the computing and sensing capabilities of the XR device can be used to capture images of a specified scene, thereby fully utilizing the computing resources or sensing capabilities of the XR device.

[0030] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3a and Figure 3b As shown, the charging device 100 also includes: a lifting mechanism 16 and a second drive structure (not shown). The fixed end of the lifting mechanism 16 is fixed to the upper surface 102 of the base 10, and the detachable connector 13 is provided at the telescopic end of the lifting mechanism 16. The second drive structure is connected to the lifting mechanism 16 and is used to drive the telescopic end of the lifting mechanism 16 to extend and retract, so as to change the height of the detachable connector 13.

[0031] In some embodiments, the lifting mechanism 16 may include a telescopic rod, and the second drive structure may include any drive mechanism capable of driving the telescopic rod to stretch or retract, such as a rotary motor, a stepping motor, or an electromagnetic drive mechanism. The type of the second drive structure is not specifically limited here.

[0032] In some embodiments, the second drive structure may be disposed within the base 10, or the lifting mechanism 16 may include a hollow pipe and the second drive structure may be disposed within the hollow pipe, or the second drive structure may be disposed on the upper surface 102 of the base 10. The position of the second drive structure is not specifically limited here.

[0033] In this embodiment, the detachable connector 13 can be moved along the spatial height direction (i.e., the Z-axis direction) by the lifting mechanism 16, so that the spatial height of the XR device 200 mounted on the detachable connector 13 can be changed.

[0034] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3a and Figure 3b As shown, the charging device 100 also includes: a rotating mechanism 17 and a third drive structure (not shown). The fixed end of the rotating mechanism 17 is connected to the telescopic end of the lifting mechanism 16, and the detachable connector 13 is provided at the movable end of the rotating mechanism 17. The third drive structure is connected to the rotating mechanism 17 and is used to drive the movable end of the rotating mechanism 17 to rotate in at least one direction to change the orientation of the detachable connector 13.

[0035] In some embodiments, the rotating mechanism 17 may include a rotating shaft, and the third driving structure may include any driving mechanism capable of driving the rotating shaft to rotate, such as a rotary motor, a feed motor, or an electromagnetic driving mechanism. The type of the third driving structure is not specifically limited here.

[0036] In some embodiments, the third drive structure may be disposed within the base 10, or the lifting mechanism 16 may include a hollow pipe and the third drive structure may be disposed within the hollow pipe, or the third drive structure may be disposed together with the rotating mechanism 17 at the movable end of the lifting mechanism 16. The position of the third drive structure is not specifically limited here.

[0037] In some embodiments, the rotating mechanism 17 can rotate about at least one of the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis to change the viewing angle or orientation of the XR device 200 mounted on the charging device 100.

[0038] In this embodiment, the detachable connector 13 can be adjusted in orientation angle by rotating the rotating mechanism 17, thereby changing the viewing angle or orientation of the XR device 200 mounted on the detachable connector 13.

[0039] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 4 As shown, the rotating mechanism 17 includes a first rotating shaft 171, a second rotating shaft 172, and a third rotating shaft 173; the third driving structure includes a first driving member, a second driving member, and a third driving member. The fixed end of the first rotating shaft 171 is connected to the telescopic end of the lifting mechanism 16, the movable end of the first rotating shaft 171 is connected to the fixed end of the second rotating shaft 172, the movable end of the second rotating shaft 172 is connected to the fixed end of the third rotating shaft 173, and the detachable connector 13 is provided at the movable end of the third rotating shaft 173. The first driving member is connected to the first rotating shaft 171 and is used to drive the first rotating shaft 171 to rotate along the Z-axis; The second driving member is connected to the second rotating shaft 172 and is used to drive the second rotating shaft 172 to rotate along the X-axis; The third driving component is connected to the third rotating shaft 173 and is used to drive the third rotating shaft 173 to rotate along the Y-axis.

[0040] In some embodiments, the first driving member, the second driving member, and the third driving member are driving members corresponding to the first rotating shaft 171, the second rotating shaft 172, and the third rotating shaft 173, respectively. They can be rotary motors, electromagnetic driving members, etc. The types of the first driving member, the second driving member, and the third driving member are not specifically limited here.

[0041] In this embodiment, the rotating mechanism 17 can rotate along the three degrees of freedom (Dof) of the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis, that is, rotate 360°. Thus, combined with the planar movement of the moving mechanism 14 and the vertical movement of the lifting mechanism 16, the XR device 200 mounted on the detachable connector 13 has 6Dof capability. In other words, when the XR device 200 is mounted on the detachable connector 13, the XR device 200 can achieve 6Dof control through the charging device 100.

[0042] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the detachable connector 13 includes: a support plate 131 and an elastic support portion 132; The elastic support 132 includes an elastic link 1321 and a support plate 1322; The support plate 131 is directly or indirectly fixed to the upper surface 102 of the base 10. One end of the elastic link 1321 is fixedly connected to the support plate 131. The elastic movable end of the elastic link 1321 is connected to the support plate 1322, and the elastic link 1321 provides elastic force to the support plate 1322 towards the support plate 131.

[0043] In some embodiments, the elastic link 1321 can be made of any elastic material such as rubber or metal sheet.

[0044] In some embodiments, the surface of the support plate 131 and the support plate 1322 may be provided with a flexible layer such as a rubber layer or a leather layer, for example... Figure 6 As shown, when the XR device 200 is clamped between the support plate 131 and the elastic support portion 132, the stability of the XR device 200 can be increased by the interference fit between the support plate 131, the XR device 200 and the support plate 1322, and the hard materials on the support plate 131 and the support plate 1322 can be prevented from damaging the outer surface of the XR device 200.

[0045] In some embodiments, the support plate 131 and the support plate 1322 can clamp the opposite sides of the XR device 200 to securely mount the XR device 200 onto the detachable connector 13, and the detachable connector 13 does not obstruct the field of view of the camera on the XR device 200, so that the XR device 200 can move with the movement of at least one of the moving mechanism 14, the lifting mechanism 16 and the rotating mechanism 17 during operation.

[0046] In some implementations, such as Figure 5 As shown, a protrusion 1311 is also provided on the support plate 131. This protrusion 1311 is located near the long side of the support plate 131, and is situated on the central axis of the long side of the support plate 131. Thus, as... Figure 6 As shown, when the XR device 200 is clamped between the support plate 131 and the elastic support part 132, the protrusion 1311 can be inserted into the groove on the XR device 200 to limit the position of the XR device 200.

[0047] Optionally, the elastic link 1321 can be fixedly connected to the support plate 131 via the protrusion 1311.

[0048] In this embodiment, the detachable connector 13 is an elastic clamping member based on the support plate 131 and the elastic support part 132. In this way, the XR device 200 can be clamped between the support plate 131 and the elastic support part 132, which improves the assembly firmness and disassembly convenience of the XR device 200.

[0049] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 7 As shown, the charging device 100 also includes: a first communication module 18 and a controller 19; The controller 19 is electrically connected to the first communication module 18, the target drive structure X, and the battery 11, respectively. The target drive structure X includes at least one of the first drive structure, the second drive structure, and the third drive structure.

[0050] In some implementations, the first communication module 18 is used to transmit data or control signals with external devices. For example, the controller 19 interacts with the second communication module on the XR device 200 to exchange control information or status information of the charging device 100 through the first communication module 18.

[0051] Optionally, the status information of the charging device 100 may include the orientation, moving speed, moving direction, lifting height, and sensing information related to the distance between the charging device 100 and obstacles.

[0052] For example, the controller 19 receives control information sent by the XR device 200 through the second communication module via the first communication module 18, and controls at least one of the target drive structure X drive moving mechanism 14, lifting mechanism 16 and rotating mechanism 17 according to the control information, so as to change at least one of the planar position, height and viewing angle of the XR device 200.

[0053] In some implementations, the first communication module 18 may be a wired communication module or a wireless communication module. For ease of explanation, this application embodiment uses the example of the first communication module 18 being a wired communication module, which does not constitute a specific limitation.

[0054] For example, as shown in Figure 3, the first communication module 18 includes a USB communication module on the charging device 100, and the second communication module is a USB communication module on the XR device 200. In this case, the USB communication module includes a USB cable extending to the outside of the housing of the charging device 100. One end of the USB cable is connected to the data transmission port of the controller 19 inside the charging device 100, and the other end of the USB cable extends out to the first USB interface. After the XR device 200 is assembled on the detachable connector 13, the first USB interface can be inserted into the second USB interface on the XR device 200 to realize the wired communication connection between the first communication module 18 and the second communication module.

[0055] In some implementations, the controller 19 may be a control chip with low computing power, such as a micro control unit (MCU).

[0056] In some implementations, after the charging device 100 is powered on, the main process in the controller 19 can run continuously in memory and detect at a certain frequency whether the first communication module 18 has established a communication connection with the second communication module. After the first communication module 18 establishes a communication connection with the second communication module, the controller 19 sends the status information of the charging device 100 to the main process in the XR device 200 for processing through the first communication module 18 and the second communication module, and also receives data from the main process of the XR device 200, and controls the target drive structure X according to the received data.

[0057] Optionally, the status information of the charging device 100 may include at least one of the following: The rotation angle of the rotating mechanism 17; The moving speed of the moving mechanism 14; The direction of movement of the moving mechanism 14; The lifting height of the lifting mechanism 16.

[0058] In this embodiment, the controller 19 within the charging device 100 can establish a communication connection with the second communication module of the XR device 200 via the first communication module 18. This allows the XR device 200 to obtain status information of the charging device 100 based on this communication connection, or to calculate control information for the charging device 100 according to control needs, and send this control information to the controller 19 via the aforementioned communication connection. Thus, the controller 19 can adjust at least one of the position, height, and orientation of the charging device 100 according to the control information from the XR device 200. This fully utilizes the sensing and computing capabilities of the XR device 200 to calculate control information for the charging device 100, and reduces the computational requirements of the charging device 100.

[0059] In some implementations, when the first communication module 18 receives the first control information from the second communication module, it sends the first control information to the controller 19. The controller 19 then sends control commands to the target drive structure based on the first control information. This can be achieved by connecting the main process of the XR device 200 with the main process of the controller 19 of the charging device 100 through the first communication module 18 and the second communication module. In this way, the main process of the charging device 100 can be controlled by the main process of the XR device 200.

[0060] For example, the main process of XR device 200 determines the distance to obstacles based on the information collected by the camera or sensor, and determines the movement route to avoid obstacles based on the distance. At this time, XR device 200 can send control information to the main process of charging device 100 through the main process, so that the moving mechanism of charging device 100 moves according to the movement route determined by the main process of XR device 200.

[0061] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the controller 19 sends control commands to the target drive structure X based on the first control information generated and sent by the XR device 200, which can fully utilize the computing and sensing capabilities of the XR device 200. Compared to the charging device 100 generating control commands itself, this reduces the computational or information processing required for the charging device 100 to generate control commands. For example, the computational processes required to acquire sensing information, calculate obstacle positions based on the sensing information, and determine the movement route based on the obstacle positions require a large amount of computation, placing higher demands on the information processing and sensing capabilities of the charging device 100. In this embodiment, the XR device 200 performs the information processing related to determining the first control information, which can effectively utilize the computing and sensing capabilities of the XR device 200, while placing lower demands on the information processing and sensing capabilities of the charging device 100. Only a controller with lower computing power needs to be set up to send control commands to the drive structure based on the first control information, which can reduce the production cost of the charging device 100.

[0062] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 7 As shown, the charging device 100 also includes: a first sensing module 20; The controller 19 is also connected to the first sensing module 20, which is used to sense obstacle information.

[0063] In some implementations, such as Figure 3a As shown, the first sensing module 20 can be set inside the base 10, and the outer surface of the base 10 corresponding to the first sensing module 20 is provided with a window 103. In this way, the first sensing module 20 can perceive the external environment or objects of the base 10 through the window 103.

[0064] In some implementations, the first communication module 18 is also connected to the first sensing module 20. Alternatively, the first communication module 18 may be connected to the first sensing module 20 via a controller 19. In this way, the controller 19 can receive the sensing information from the first sensing module 20 and control the first communication module 18 to send the sensing information to the second communication module.

[0065] In some implementations, the first sensing module 20 may include an ultrasonic ranging sensor. In this case, the obstacle information sensed by the first sensing module 20 may be the distance between the charging device 100 and the obstacle measured by the ultrasonic ranging sensor.

[0066] In other embodiments, the obstacle information sensed by the first sensing module 20 may be ultrasonic emission time, reception time, emission angle, and incident angle measured by an ultrasonic ranging sensor, and the distance between the charging device 100 and the obstacle may be calculated by the processor inside the XR device 200 based on this information. In this way, the computing power of the processor inside the XR device 200 can be fully utilized, and the computing power requirements of the charging device 100 can be reduced.

[0067] In some implementations, the first sensing module 20 may include an ultrasonic sensor and a short-range ultrasonic ToF sensor. The ultrasonic sensor can help the device provide distance measurement with millimeter-level accuracy under any lighting conditions, while the short-range ultrasonic ToF sensor can identify different ground types, thereby achieving accurate and efficient identification and control during movement.

[0068] In this embodiment, by providing a first sensing module 20 on the charging device 100, obstacles near the charging device 100 can be sensed based on the first sensing module 20, thereby enabling obstacle avoidance.

[0069] See Figure 2 , Figure 3a and Figure 3b This application also provides an XR component, which includes an XR device 200 and a charging device 100 provided in the foregoing embodiments; XR device 200 is assembled to charging device 100 via detachable connector 13 in charging device 100.

[0070] In this embodiment, when the XR device 200 is assembled to the charging device 100 via the detachable connector 13 in the charging device 100, the charging device 100 can drive the XR device 200 to move, lift, or rotate, thereby enabling the XR device 200 to perform functions such as image capture of a specified scene using its computing and sensing capabilities when the user is not wearing the XR device 200.

[0071] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 8 As shown, when the charging device 100 includes a first communication module 18 and a controller 19, the second communication module 24 in the XR device 200 is communicatively connected to the first communication module 18. When the first communication module 18 receives the first control information from the second communication module 24, it sends the first control information to the controller 19. The controller 19 sends a control command to the target drive structure X according to the first control information. The target drive structure X is used to drive at least one of the following according to the control command: the moving mechanism 14, the lifting mechanism 16, and the rotating mechanism 17.

[0072] In this embodiment, the charging device 100 controls the target driving structure according to the first control information generated and sent by the XR device 200, which can make full use of the computing power and sensing capabilities of the XR device 200.

[0073] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 8 As shown, the controller 19 is also configured to control the first communication module 18 to send first information to the second communication module 24, the first information including at least one of the following: Obstacle information sensed by the first sensing module 20; The rotation angle of the rotating mechanism 17; The moving speed of the moving mechanism 14; The direction of movement of the moving mechanism 14; The lifting height of the lifting mechanism 16.

[0074] In some implementations, the processor inside the XR device 200 can determine the current state of the charging device 100 based on the first information, such as its location, direction of movement, speed of movement, orientation, and distance from obstacles, and generate subsequent control information such as acceleration, deceleration, rotation, and adjustment of the direction of movement according to the control strategy.

[0075] In this embodiment, the charging device 100 can provide the XR device 200 with the status information of the charging device 100 through the first communication module 18 to assist the XR device 200 in making decision-making and control information.

[0076] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 8 As shown, the XR device 200 also includes a camera 21, a second sensing module 22, and a processor 23; Processor 23 is connected to camera 21, second sensing module 22 and second communication module 24; The processor 23 is used to generate the first control information based on the second information, and to control the second communication module 24 to send the first control information to the first communication module 18. The second information includes at least one of the following: image information captured by camera 21, perception information perceived by second perception module 22, and the first information.

[0077] In some implementations, camera 21 may include a VST camera, or a VST camera and a ToF camera.

[0078] Optionally, when the camera 21 includes a VST camera and a ToF camera, the image information acquired by the camera 21 may include image texture information acquired by the VST camera and depth information acquired by the ToF camera.

[0079] In some implementations, the second sensing module 22 can be used to sense information such as 3D stereo images and sensing distance. The type of the second sensing module 22 is not specifically limited here.

[0080] In this embodiment, the processor 23 in the XR device 200 makes decisions on the first control information based on the information it collects, such as the information collected by the camera 21 and the second sensing module 22, as well as the information collected from the charging device 100, which can improve the matching degree between the first control information and the actual needs of the XR components.

[0081] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 8 As shown, the XR device 200 also includes: a third communication module 25; The third communication module 25 is connected to the processor 23; The third communication module 25 is used for communication connection with electronic devices; The processor 23 is used to control the third communication module 25 to send third information to the electronic device; The third information includes at least one of the following: The connection status information between the XR device 200 and the charging device 100 in the XR component; The orientation of the XR component; The moving speed of the XR component; The direction of movement of the XR component; The lifting height of the XR component; The location of the XR component; The image information acquired by the XR component.

[0082] In some implementations, the XR device 200 can determine the orientation of the XR component based on the rotation angle of the rotating mechanism 17 in the charging device 100 and the orientation of the base 10.

[0083] In some implementations, the XR device 200 can determine the moving speed of the XR component based on the moving speed of the moving mechanism 14 in the charging device 100.

[0084] In some implementations, the XR device 200 can determine the movement direction of the XR component based on the movement direction of the moving mechanism 14 in the charging device 100.

[0085] In some implementations, the XR device 200 can determine the lifting height of the XR component based on the lifting height of the lifting mechanism 16 in the charging device 100.

[0086] In some implementations, the XR device 200 can use image information captured by the camera 21 as image information captured by the XR component.

[0087] In this embodiment, the XR device 200 can establish a communication connection with an external electronic device (such as a mobile phone) through the third communication module 25, and send connection status information of the XR device 200 and the charging device 100, status information of the charging device 100, camera images, etc. to the external electronic device based on the communication connection. In this way, the corresponding content can be displayed in the application interface of the electronic device, which facilitates the information interaction between the user and the XR device 200 and the charging device 100.

[0088] As an optional implementation, the processor 23 is also configured to control the third communication module 25 to receive the second control information from the electronic device, and to control the second communication module 24 to send the second control information to the first communication module 18; When the first communication module 18 receives the second control information from the second communication module 24, it sends the second control information to the controller 19. The controller 19 sends a control command to the target drive structure X according to the second control information. The target drive structure X is used to drive at least one of the following according to the control command: the moving mechanism 14, the lifting mechanism 16, and the rotating mechanism 17.

[0089] In some implementations, the third communication module 25 may be an Internet of Things (IoT) communication module such as Bluetooth.

[0090] In some implementations, the processor 23 may activate the third communication module 25 if it detects that the second communication module 24 has successfully established a communication connection with the first communication module 18 in the charging device 100.

[0091] For example: Suppose the phone has a target application installed to control XR components, then, such as Figure 9 As shown, the data interaction process between the XR device 200, the mobile phone, and the charging device 100 may include: 1. The main process in XR device 200 establishes a communication connection with the main process in charging device 100 through a communication connection such as a serial port, and performs bidirectional data interaction based on the communication connection. For example, charging device 100 sends status information of charging device 100 to XR device 200; XR device 200 sends control information to charging device 100. 2. The target application on the mobile phone establishes a communication connection with the XR device 200 via Bluetooth or other communication methods, and performs bidirectional data interaction based on this communication connection. For example, the XR device 200 sends the connection status information between the XR device 200 and the charging device 100, the status information of the charging device 100, the camera image, and other information to the target application to display the corresponding content in the target application interface. When the user controls at least one of the XR device 200 and the charging device 100 through the operation interface of the target application, the target application generates corresponding control information and sends the control information to the XR device 200. At this time, the XR device 200 can determine the control information used to control the charging device 100 to perform the corresponding action based on the control information and send it to the charging device 100.

[0092] The second control information can be similar to the first control information, but the differences include: the second control information is generated by the electronic device or is generated based on user operation, while the first control information is generated by the XR device 200.

[0093] In some embodiments, after receiving the second control information sent by the electronic device through the third communication module 25, the processor 23 can further process the second control information to obtain control information that can be recognized and directly used by the charging device 100, and control the second communication module to send the processed control information that can be recognized and directly used by the charging device 100 to the charging device 100.

[0094] In this way, at least part of the processing of control information can be transferred to the XR device 200 for execution, which can make full use of the computing resources of the XR device 200 and reduce the occupation of computing resources of electronic devices.

[0095] In this embodiment, the user can control the XR component through an electronic device.

[0096] Optionally, the second control information is used to control the XR component to move or rotate according to the target patrol strategy; The target patrol strategy includes at least one of the following: patrol space, patrol time, and patrol route.

[0097] In this embodiment, the patrol strategy of the XR component can be set through an electronic device, so that the XR component can patrol automatically according to the set patrol strategy.

[0098] As an optional implementation, the processor is further configured to control the third communication module to receive third control information from the electronic device; When the third control information is used to control the XR component to be in a first working mode, the processor wakes up the camera and the second sensing module on the XR device. When the third control information is used to control the XR component to be in the second working mode, the processor controls the camera and the second sensing module on the XR device to turn off.

[0099] In some implementations, the third control information may be mode switching control information of the XR component, used to switch the working mode of the XR component.

[0100] In some implementations, the first operating mode can be understood as the activation mode of the XR component, in which the camera 21 and the second sensing module 22 on the XR device 200 are activated, thereby enabling functions such as shooting and sensing to be performed.

[0101] In the first working mode, the charging device 100 can charge the XR device 200 while moving or rotating according to the control of the XR device 200, so that the XR device 200 can use its own computing and sensing capabilities to perform functions such as monitoring, shooting, and image processing during the charging process.

[0102] In other implementations, the second operating mode can be understood as a charging-only mode for the XR component. In this mode, the camera 21 and the second sensing module 22 on the XR device 200 are not activated, thereby saving energy consumption of the XR device 200 and improving the charging speed of the XR device 200.

[0103] In this embodiment, the mode of the XR component can be switched by receiving third control information from the electronic device.

[0104] In one optional implementation, camera 21 includes an image camera and a depth camera; The processor 23 is also configured to acquire fourth information from at least one of the image camera, the depth camera, and the second communication module 24, and generate a three-dimensional stereoscopic image of the target space based on the fourth information; The fourth piece of information includes any one of the following: The image captured by the image camera and the depth information captured by the depth camera; The image captured by the image camera, the depth information captured by the depth camera, and the first information.

[0105] In this embodiment, the high computing power and high-precision sensing capabilities of the processor 23 on the XR device 200 can be utilized to realize complex image information acquisition and image information processing, so as to perform real-time localization and mapping (SLAM) based on multi-angle image information in space, and generate a three-dimensional stereoscopic image of the space.

[0106] This application also provides a control method, the execution subject of which is an electronic device. The electronic device can be a terminal or other devices besides a terminal. For example, the electronic device can be a mobile phone, tablet computer, laptop computer, handheld computer, in-vehicle electronic device, mobile internet device (MID), augmented reality (AR) / virtual reality (VR) device, robot, wearable device, ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), netbook, or personal digital assistant (PDA), etc. It can also be a server, network attached storage (NAS), personal computer (PC), television (TV), ATM, or self-service machine, etc. This application does not specifically limit the scope.

[0109] Step 1003: In response to the first input, generate second control information.

[0110] Step 1004: Send the second control information to the XR component.

[0111] The second control information is used to control the movement, lifting, and / or rotation of the XR component.

[0112] In some implementations, the movement control is used to select movement-related control information such as movement direction (e.g., moving forward or backward along the X-axis, moving forward or backward along the Y-axis, or moving up or down along the Z-axis) and movement speed.

[0113] In some implementations, the rotation control is used to select rotation angle, rotation direction (such as clockwise or counterclockwise rotation along the X-axis, clockwise or counterclockwise rotation along the Y-axis, clockwise or counterclockwise rotation along the X-axis), and other rotation-related control information.

[0114] In some implementations, the first input is used for the user to input control information such as movement direction, movement speed, rotation angle, and rotation direction, and to generate corresponding second control information.

[0115] For example: Figure 11 The first interface shown displays a movement control 91 and a rotation control 92. The movement control 91 is used to select the movement direction, and the rotation control 92 is used to select the rotation angle.

[0116] In this embodiment, the XR component can be patrolled, monitored, or moved according to user operation by using the movement control 91 and the rotation control 92.

[0117] As an optional implementation, the second control information is used to control the charging device to drive the XR device to move or rotate according to the target patrol strategy; The target patrol strategy includes at least one of the following: patrol space, patrol time, and patrol route.

[0119] In this embodiment, the XR component can be configured to perform autonomous patrols through a target patrol strategy.

[0120] An electronic device that implements the control method provided in the embodiments of this application can establish a communication connection with an XR component and realize information interaction with the XR component based on the communication connection. This enables the charging device 100 to drive the XR device 200 to move and / or rotate in at least one direction according to the user's first input on the first interface of the electronic device, thereby realizing the interaction between the user and the XR component.

[0124] It should be noted that the third control information, the first working mode, and the second working mode in the embodiments of this application are different from those in the following examples. Figure 8 The third control information, the first working mode, and the second working mode in the XR component embodiment shown have the same meaning and function, and will not be repeated here.

[0125] In some implementations, the second input is a touch operation performed by the user on the mode switching control to select a first operating mode or a second operating mode.

[0126] For example: Figure 12As shown, the mode switching control 93 in the first interface includes two options, corresponding to the first working mode and the second working mode respectively. When the user touches the option corresponding to the first working mode, the third control information is used to switch the XR component to the first working mode; when the user touches the option corresponding to the second working mode, the third control information is used to switch the XR component to the second working mode.

[0127] In this embodiment, users can switch the working mode of the XR component using the mode switching control in the first interface.
