[0057] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of devices consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0058] The present disclosure provides a head-mounted device control method, device, storage medium and head-mounted device.

[0059] Figure 1 A head mounted device control method according to an exemplary embodiment is shown, wherein the head mounted device includes a lens module; wherein the head mounted device supports augmented reality AR and virtual reality VR; the method includes:

[0060] 101: Determine a target function currently used by the head mounted device; wherein the target function is the AR or the VR;

[0061] 102: Control the light transmittance of the lens module according to the target function.

[0062] The head mounted device control method can be used for any fixed device and / or mobile device including a head mounted device. For example, the fixed device can be augmented reality AR glasses and / or helmets, etc.

[0063] The head-mounted device in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a lens module, and the lens module is used to observe the display information of the display module.

[0064] The head mounted device in the disclosed embodiment not only supports the function of augmented reality, but also supports the function of virtual reality.

[0065] Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that integrates virtual information with real information. The main principle is to superimpose virtual objects into real scenes. It is widely used in education, medical care, industrial design interaction and other fields.

[0066] Virtual Reality (VR) is a computer simulation technology that can create and experience a virtual world. The main principle is to build a virtual environment. It is widely used in film and television, education, design, medical care, military and other fields.

[0067] Compared with virtual reality, augmented reality requires users to observe real information.

[0068] Determining the target function currently used by the head mounted device includes: determining whether the function currently used by the head mounted device is an AR function or a VR function. The head mounted device is configured with different parameters according to different target functions to better suit the current usage scenario.

[0069] Control the transmittance of the lens module according to the target function. Different target functions correspond to different transmittances of the lens module. When the user is in the AR function, it is necessary to combine the information of the real world with the information of the virtual world, and it is necessary to increase the transmittance of the lens module to enhance the user's experience of using the AR function. When the user is in the VR function, the information of the real world is not needed, and the transmittance of the lens module needs to be reduced. The reduction of the transmittance of the lens module can reduce the impact of the external environment light on the virtual world information and enhance the user's immersion.

[0070] In the disclosed embodiment, since the target function can be different target functions, the head-mounted device can be switched between AR function and VR function; according to the target function, the transmittance of the lens module is controlled to reduce the impact of ambient light on the human eye, thereby effectively improving the user experience of the head-mounted device.

[0071] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, controlling the light transmittance of the lens module according to the target function includes:

[0072] 201: When the target function is the AR, controlling the light transmittance of the lens module to be a first value;

[0073] 202: When the target function is the VR, control the light transmittance of the lens module to be a second value;

[0074] Among them, the first value is greater than the second value.

[0075] In the disclosed embodiment, the transmittance of the lens module is controlled to different values ​​according to different target functions. Since the VR function does not require real information of the external environment, the second value when controlled as a VR function is less than the first value when controlled as an AR function. Exemplarily, when the current target function is VR, for example, in scenes such as audio and video, screen projection, etc., the transmittance of the lens module of the head-mounted device can be configured to a lower state to enhance the effect and immersion of VR; when the current target function is AR, the transmittance of the lens module of the head-mounted device is configured to a higher state to enhance the user experience of using the AR function.

[0076] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the head mounted device further includes a display module, and the method further includes:

[0077] 302: Control the display brightness of the display module according to the target function.

[0078] The display module may be a liquid crystal display, an organic laser display OLED, a projection module, etc., and the present disclosure does not make any limitation thereto.

[0079] The display module can be set on the left and right sides of the lens module. Since the transmittance of lens modules with different target functions is different, it is necessary to control the display module to adjust different display brightness when using different target functions. In this way, the display brightness of the display module can be controlled according to different target functions, protecting the eye comfort of the wearer when viewing the display screen and improving the user experience of the head-mounted device.

[0080] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, controlling the display brightness of the display module according to the target function includes:

[0081] 402: Determine the perceived brightness of the user wearing the target device according to the ambient brightness and the transmittance of the lens module when the target function is applied;

[0082] 403: Control the display brightness of the display module according to the perceived brightness.

[0083] In the disclosed embodiment, the perceived brightness of the user wearing the target device can be determined by combining the ambient brightness and the transmittance of the lens module when applying different target functions, that is, the brightness perceived by the eyes of the user wearing the target device can be determined. The display brightness of the display module is controlled according to the perceived brightness of the user wearing the target device. In this way, the display brightness of the display module after adjustment can be within a range that is comfortable for the user wearing the target device, thereby protecting the eyesight of the user wearing the target device and improving the user wearing the target device experience.

[0084] For example, if the current brightness of the display module is very low, the display brightness of the display module needs to be increased.

[0085] As another example, if the current brightness of the display module is very high, the display brightness of the display module needs to be reduced.

[0086] Also exemplarily, if the current brightness of the display module is moderate, one of the display modules may need to increase the display brightness while the other may need to reduce the display brightness for AR and VR.

[0087] In some embodiments, the display brightness corresponding to the AR is greater than the display brightness corresponding to the VR.

[0088] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, under the same ambient brightness, since the first value of the transmittance of the lens module when the target function is AR is greater than the second value of the transmittance of the lens module when the target function is VR, it is necessary to set the display brightness corresponding to AR to be greater than the display brightness corresponding to VR. In this way, the comfort of the eyes of the user wearing the head mounted device can be ensured, the user's eyesight can be protected, and the user experience can be improved.

[0089] In some embodiments, the lens module includes: an electrochromic lens, and controlling the light transmittance of the lens module specifically includes:

[0090] determining voltage parameters applied to the electrochromic lens;

[0091] According to the voltage parameter, a voltage is applied to the electrochromic lens to control the light transmittance of the lens module.

[0092] Electrochromic lenses can undergo stable and reversible color changes under the action of an external electric field.

[0093] In some embodiments, the electrochromic lens uses an electrochromic material, and when an electric field acts on the electrochromic material, the light transmittance of the electrochromic lens can be changed.

[0094] In other embodiments, an electrochromic layer is added to the lens module. When an electric field acts on the electrochromic lens, the transmittance of the electrochromic layer changes, thereby changing the transmittance of the electrochromic lens.

[0095] To control the light transmittance of the lens module, it is necessary to determine the voltage parameters applied to the electrochromic lens, and apply voltage to the electrochromic lens according to the voltage parameters, so as to control the light transmittance of the lens module.

[0096] In some embodiments, the voltage parameter includes at least one of the following: voltage value; pressurization direction; pressurization duration.

[0097] In the disclosed embodiment, different lens modules can change different voltage parameters to control the light transmittance of the lens modules due to the different lens module materials.

[0098] Exemplarily, when a first voltage value is applied, the lens module has a first transmittance, and when a second voltage value is applied, the lens module has a second transmittance, and the first voltage value is greater than the second voltage value.

[0099] As another example, when a forward voltage is applied, the ion storage layer of the electrochromic lens is pressurized, the overall color of the lens module darkens, and the transmittance decreases; conversely, when a reverse voltage is applied, the ion storage layer of the electrochromic lens is depressurized, the overall color of the lens module becomes lighter, and the transmittance increases.

[0100] In another embodiment, a method for controlling a head mounted device is also provided, wherein the head mounted device is Figure 7 AR glasses are shown.

[0101] Electrochromic lenses are installed at the position of the lens module of AR glasses. Electrochromic lenses can achieve coloring and fading of the lens module by pressurizing time and / or direction. When the lens module is colored, the light transmittance of the lens decreases, which is more suitable for immersive experience. When the lens module fades, the light transmittance of the lens increases, which is more suitable for AR scene experience.

[0102] An ambient light sensor is installed on the front of the AR glasses to detect the brightness of the external environment in real time. When the ambient brightness is high, the AR glasses need to increase the brightness appropriately for a better experience. On the contrary, when the ambient brightness is low, the brightness of the AR glasses should be reduced to avoid glare caused by excessive brightness.

[0103] In the disclosed embodiment, the level of ambient brightness will affect the display brightness of the display module. For example, when the ambient brightness is high, the display brightness of the display module needs to be increased; when the ambient brightness is low, the display brightness of the display module needs to be reduced. The closer the display brightness of the display module is to the ambient brightness, the less damage to the eyes of the wearer.

[0104] When the user is in the virtual world, he does not need real-world information, such as audio, video, reading, etc. At this time, reducing the light transmittance of the lens can enhance the user's sense of immersion and avoid interference from real-world information on the experience.

[0105] When the user is in the augmented reality world, the real world and the virtual world need to be combined. At this time, the light transmittance of the lens needs to be increased, and the lens is transparent to enhance the augmented reality experience.

[0106] The display brightness adjustment strategy of the display module is:

[0107] When the current ambient brightness is high, the display module automatically increases the brightness, and the brightness value is adjusted according to the transmittance of the lens and the target function: if the target function is virtual reality, the influence of ambient brightness should be avoided. The lens is in coloring mode, and the transmittance is reduced. It is necessary to enhance the display brightness of the display module.

[0108] If the target function is augmented reality, the lens is in a transparent state to enhance the display brightness of the display module. However, because the transmittance has little effect on the light intensity in transparent mode, it can basically be considered as a transparent lens. Therefore, the brightness adjustment of the augmented reality scene is greater than that of the virtual reality scene.

[0109] When the current ambient brightness is low, the display module's display brightness automatically decreases, and the brightness value can be dynamically adjusted according to the lens transmittance and the target function: if the target function is virtual reality, the influence of ambient brightness should be avoided, and the lens is in coloring mode, the transmittance is reduced, and the display module's display brightness needs to be reduced. Due to the low transmittance, the influence of light is small, and only the brightness needs to be fine-tuned.

[0110] If the target function is augmented reality, the lens is in transparent mode, reducing the display brightness of the display module. However, because the transmittance has little effect on the light intensity in transparent mode, it can basically be considered a transparent lens. Therefore, the brightness adjustment range of the augmented reality scene is larger than that of the virtual reality scene.

[0111] refer to Figure 8 As shown, a control method of a head mounted device provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure includes:

[0112] The head mounted device enters the use state, and determines whether to use the virtual reality function or the augmented reality function; if the virtual reality function is used, the process proceeds to step 111, and if the augmented reality function is used, the process proceeds to step 121.

[0113] Virtual reality function operation steps:

[0114] Step 111: setting the light transmittance of the lens module to the minimum;

[0115] Step 112: Obtaining ambient brightness;

[0116] Step 113: Calculate the perceived brightness of the lens module when the transmittance is the lowest according to the transmittance of the lens module and the ambient brightness;

[0117] Step 114: adjusting the display brightness of the display module for realizing the virtual reality function according to the perceived brightness.

[0118] Augmented reality function operation steps:

[0119] Step 121: Setting the light transmittance of the lens module to the highest value;

[0120] Step 122: Obtaining ambient brightness;

[0121] Step 123: Calculate the perceived brightness of the lens module when the transmittance is the highest according to the transmittance of the lens module and the ambient brightness;

[0122] Step 124: Adjust the display brightness of the display module for implementing the augmented reality function according to the perceived brightness.

[0123] like Fig. 9 As shown, the display brightness of the display module needs to be adjusted based on the ambient brightness and the transmittance of the lens module when the target function is applied. When it is virtual reality, the lens transmittance is the lowest. The transmittance will affect the perceived brightness of the light hitting the human eye. When calculating the perceived brightness, the transmittance of the lens module needs to be taken into account.

[0124] The perceived brightness is calculated as:

[0125] l=a*b

[0126] Among them, the ambient brightness is a, the transmittance is b, and the perceived brightness is l. For example, in the transparent mode, the ideal transmittance is 1, and in the coloring mode, the transmittance can be reduced to 0.1. According to the converted light intensity, the perceived brightness and the display brightness are matched, and the corresponding adjusted display brightness can be found.

[0127] For example, the correspondence between perceived brightness and displayed brightness is shown in the following table:

[0128] Perceived brightness range Display Brightness [0,x) a [x,y) b [y,z) c …… ……
