Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of VR video control, and in particular relates to a method for controlling a VR video by a remote controller. Background Art

[0002] At present, with the continuous development and popularization of VR technology, the application of VR video is becoming more and more extensive. Controlling VR video with a remote control is a common control method. The background technology of this control method mainly includes the following aspects:

[0003] First of all, the playback of VR videos depends on VR devices, such as head-mounted displays, controllers, etc. These devices are implemented through sensor technology and can sense the user's movements and behaviors in the virtual environment in real time. Through these sensors, VR devices can capture the user's head posture, hand movements and other information, and convert them into corresponding signals for program processing and analysis.

[0004] Secondly, the remote control needs to use wireless communication technology, such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc. to control VR video. The remote control and VR device communicate through wireless signals. Users can send instructions to the VR device through key operations to control the play, pause, fast forward, rewind and other functions of the VR video. At the same time, the VR device can also feedback status information, such as battery level and signal strength, to the remote control through wireless signals.

[0005] In addition, the remote control of VR video also involves software development technology. The playback of VR video requires the help of specific software applications, such as VR players, game engines, etc. Developers need to write corresponding program codes to implement functions such as communication protocols, command parsing, and status feedback between the remote control and VR devices. At the same time, issues such as user experience and interface design need to be considered to make the operation simple and easy to understand and in line with user habits.

[0006] In short, the background technologies for controlling VR videos with remote controllers mainly include sensor technology, wireless communication technology, and software development technology. The comprehensive application of these technologies can enable users to accurately control VR videos and enhance their viewing experience.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a control method for VR video controlled by a remote controller. Summary of the invention

[0008] The present invention proposes a control method for a VR video controlled by a remote controller, which solves the problem in the prior art that VR videos cannot be controlled by a remote controller and mostly need to be processed by clicking virtual interface buttons.

[0009] The technical solution of the present invention is implemented as follows: a method for controlling a VR video controlled by a remote control, the method comprising the following steps: exchanging data between the remote control and a display device by wireless communication, and associating the remote control with a VR video application: the user holds the remote control with one hand, the cross direction key in the remote control matches the thumb, and the VR video content is changed by controlling the cross direction key; the first button of the remote control matches the index finger, and the VR video is marked after the index finger presses the first button twice in succession; the second button of the remote control matches the middle finger, and while the middle finger is pressed, the thumb controls the cross direction key to move forward, and the display distance in the VR video is correspondingly pulled in; the thumb controls the cross direction key to move backward, and the display distance in the VR video is correspondingly pushed away.

[0010] With the popularity of VR (virtual reality) technology, people's demand for VR videos is getting higher and higher. When using VR videos, people often need to operate the controller to operate, however, for some people who are not good at using the controller, this may be a difficult problem. For this reason, a new control method has been introduced, which allows users to use a remote control to operate VR videos, so that more people can enjoy the fun of this emerging technology.

[0011] VR video refers to a short film shot and produced using VR technology. This short film is played through VR helmets and other devices, allowing the audience to experience the scene and atmosphere in the video as if they were there. At present, VR video has a wide range of applications, such as in tourism, education, advertising, etc.

[0012] When using VR videos, you generally need to use a controller to operate them. The controller allows users to flap, rotate, zoom, and other operations to achieve a more immersive effect. However, this may be a difficult problem for some people who are not good at using controllers. Therefore, a new control method has been introduced that allows users to use a remote control to operate VR videos.

[0013] This method is based on wireless communication technology and realizes control through data interaction between the remote control and the display device. Different buttons on the remote control are matched with fingers, and users can perform specific operations by pressing different buttons. Specifically, the cross direction key is used to change the VR video content, the first button is used to mark a specific position, and the second button is used to zoom in and out of the video display distance. First of all, a remote control is required to control VR video through a remote control. The remote control is a device that operates the controller and can send instructions to the VR device to realize the operation of the VR video.

[0014] The communication between the remote control and the VR device is achieved through wireless transmission technology. Wireless transmission technology allows wireless transmission between two devices, thereby realizing data transmission and operation control. Generally speaking, wireless transmission technology includes Bluetooth, infrared, Wi-Fi and other methods, and different methods are suitable for different scenarios and devices. For example, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are suitable for transmission between devices at a relatively long distance, while infrared is suitable for transmission between devices at a relatively close distance.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment, the first button is associated with a toolbar in the VR video. After the user operates the remote control and presses the first button twice in succession, the VR video content being played is marked through the toolbar.

[0016] As a preferred implementation, the interval between pressing the first button twice in succession does not exceed 1 second, and the mark is a like operation on the VR video content.

[0017] As a preferred implementation, after performing a like operation, the corresponding animation effects are played in the VR video, and the VR video content is added to the like list.

[0018] As a preferred implementation, when the cross direction key is used to change the VR video content, the thumb controls the cross direction key to move forward, and the VR video content switches to the previous pushed video; the thumb controls the cross direction key to move backward, and the VR video content switches to the next pushed video.

[0019] As a preferred embodiment, when the display distance in the VR video is zoomed in or out, the zoom center point is first determined, and then the target focal length is determined based on the zoom center point, and the focal length is adjusted in real time when the picture is zoomed in or out.

[0020] As a preferred implementation, when zooming in or out of a VR video, a maximum distance and a minimum distance are determined, and when zooming in or out of a picture, the zoom-in and zoom-out distances are adjusted according to picture clarity.

[0021] As a preferred implementation, when the remote control is associated with a VR video application, the output signal of the remote control is matched, and the operation signals of the cross direction key, the first button and the second button in the remote control are used as command signals for corresponding association matching to the VR video application.

[0022] After adopting the above technical scheme, the beneficial effect of the present invention is: improving the user experience. Controlling VR video by remote control is more intuitive and convenient than traditional mouse and screen clicking operations, thereby improving the user experience and increasing the user's selectivity. By switching the different contents of VR videos by remote control, users can more freely choose their favorite content, thereby increasing the user's selectivity and enriching the user's viewing experience. By controlling the viewing angle of VR video by remote control, users can more freely control the viewing angle, so as to better experience the viewing effect brought by VR technology. In summary, this control method of VR video controlled by remote control is a beneficial technological innovation, which can improve the user's experience, increase the user's selectivity, and enrich the user's viewing experience. It is believed that with the increasing application of this technology, the development of VR video will also become more and more rapid. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0024] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] Example:

[0027] like Figure 1As shown, a method for controlling a VR video controlled by a remote controller comprises the following steps: exchanging data between the remote controller and a display device by wireless communication, and associating the remote controller with a VR video application: the user holds the remote controller with one hand, and the cross direction key in the remote controller matches the thumb, and the VR video content is changed by controlling the cross direction key; the first button of the remote controller matches the index finger, and the VR video is marked after the index finger presses the first button twice in succession; the second button of the remote controller matches the middle finger, and while the middle finger is pressed, the thumb controls the cross direction key to move forward, and the display distance in the VR video is correspondingly pulled in; the thumb controls the cross direction key to move backward, and the display distance in the VR video is correspondingly pushed away.

[0028] This control method realizes the association of the remote control with the VR video application by exchanging data between the remote control and the display device, thereby facilitating the user to control the VR video. Specifically, this control method includes the following steps: the first step is to exchange data between the remote control and the display device through wireless communication, and associate the remote control with the VR video application. Through this step, the user can connect his remote control with the VR video application, thereby realizing the control of the VR video by the remote control. The second step is that the user holds the remote control with one hand, the cross direction key in the remote control matches the thumb, and the VR video content is changed by controlling the cross direction key. This step allows the user to switch different contents of the VR video through the cross direction key, thereby increasing the user's selectivity and improving the user's experience. The third step is that the first button of the remote control matches the index finger, and the VR video is marked after the index finger presses the first button twice in a row. This step allows the user to mark the VR video he likes, which is convenient for future search and viewing. The fourth step is that the second button of the remote control matches the middle finger, and while the middle finger is pressed, the thumb controls the cross direction key to move forward, and the display distance in the VR video is pulled in accordingly. The thumb controls the cross direction key to move backwards, and the display distance in the VR video is pushed further away accordingly. This step allows users to freely control the viewing angle when watching VR videos, so as to better experience the viewing effect brought by VR technology.

[0029] The first button is associated with the toolbar in the VR video. After the user operates the remote control and presses the first button twice in succession, the VR video content being played is marked through the toolbar. The interval between pressing the first button twice in succession does not exceed 1 second, and the mark is a like operation on the VR video content. When using the remote control to play a VR video, you can press the first button to perform a like operation, and the button is associated with the VR video toolbar. When the user presses the first button and presses it twice in succession, the video will be marked as a like operation. It should be noted that the time interval between the two presses cannot exceed 1 second, in order to prevent the user from misoperating or unnecessary like operations. In addition, the like operation can be implemented through the toolbar in the VR video. After the like operation is completed, the VR video will play the corresponding animation effects, which provides a certain fun for the user experience.

[0030] After the like operation is performed, the corresponding animation effects are played in the VR video, and the VR video content is added to the user's like list. After the like operation is completed, the VR video content will be stored and backed up. This operation means that the content can be found in the history record later, and the manager can also analyze the like data in the background to understand the user's viewing preferences and customer satisfaction, thereby optimizing the product experience.

[0031] When the cross direction key is used to change the VR video content, the thumb controls the cross direction key to move forward, and the VR video content switches to the previous pushed video; the thumb controls the cross direction key to move backward, and the VR video content switches to the next pushed video. First of all, the cross direction key is the main means of controlling the change of video content. The thumb controls the cross direction key to move forward to push the previous video to switch; and the backward movement can trace the video back to the next push. This control method can provide users with a better interactive experience and convenient operation.

[0032] When the display distance in a VR video is zoomed in or out, the zoom center point is first determined, and then the target focal length is determined based on the zoom center point, and the focal length is adjusted in real time when the screen is zoomed in or out. When the user zooms in or out of the display distance in a VR video, the zoom center point must be determined first, which means that the center point of the screen will be the area that is pulled in or out. Then, based on this zoom center point, the user can slide their finger to adjust the focal length in real time. This operation method can change the focal length of the user when watching the video, so that a clearer, brighter and more layered visual effect can be obtained.

[0033] When zooming in or out of a VR video, determine the maximum and minimum distances. When zooming in or out of a picture, adjust the zoom-in and zoom-out distances according to the picture clarity. When zooming in or out of a VR video, it is best to determine the maximum and minimum distances. This is because during the zoom-in and zoom-out process, if the distance is too high or too low, blur and distortion may occur, which is not conducive to user viewing. In addition, in order to ensure the smoothness of the picture, the zoom-in and zoom-out distances need to be adjusted according to the picture clarity.

[0034] The operation method of VR video requires users to control the video content change with the cross direction key, and also need to consider the zoom center point and focal length adjustment when zooming in or out. When zooming in or out, it is necessary to pay attention to the maximum distance and the minimum distance, and adjust the distance according to the picture clarity. This operation method can enable users to get a better interactive experience and visual effect when watching VR videos.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
