At the same time, the term "and / or" used in this specification includes any and all combinations of the relevant listed items.

[0030] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 , a helmet display control device is provided, which is applied to a smart helmet. The helmet display control device includes: a posture sensor 110, a controller 120 and a display module 130. The posture sensor 110 is used to output posture information; the controller 120 is connected to the posture sensor 110, and the controller 120 is used to obtain steering information according to the posture information, and output steering display control information according to the steering information; the display module 130 is connected to the controller 120, and the display module 130 is used to perform steering display according to the steering display control information.

[0031] Specifically, the posture sensor 110 can detect and output its own posture information in real time, and the posture information includes tilt angle, rotation direction, etc. The posture sensor 110 can accurately capture its own posture through high-precision sensors such as accelerometers and gyroscopes set by itself. When a user wears the smart helmet of the present application, different movements of the user's head (such as turning the head left, turning the head right, fixing the head, etc.) will trigger the posture sensor 110 to output corresponding posture information.

[0032] The controller 120 is in communication connection with the posture sensor 110. The controller 120 is used to receive the posture information output by the posture sensor 110. The controller 120 analyzes the posture information through an internal preset algorithm to determine the corresponding steering information. The steering information is used to indicate the specific steering action of the user's head, for example, the head turns left, the head turns right, the head is fixed, etc. After the controller 120 determines the steering information, it generates the corresponding display control information according to the preset control logic. The display control information is used to control the display module 130 to perform the corresponding steering display.

[0033] The display module 130 is connected to the controller 120 for communication. The display module 130 is used to obtain the display control information output by the controller 120 and to perform corresponding turn display according to the display control information. The display module 130 can display information through LED (Light Emitting Diode), OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode), LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), etc. When performing turn display, various forms of turn information such as arrows, text, and patterns can be displayed according to different display device structures. For example, the text information of "turn left" or "turn right" can be displayed in the display module 130 through text display to indicate the direction in which the user is about to turn.

[0034] The above-mentioned helmet display control device senses the user's current posture by setting a posture sensor 110 and outputs corresponding posture information. After receiving the posture information, the controller 120 obtains steering information for indicating the user's turning direction according to the posture information, and then outputs steering display control information according to the steering information to control the display module 130 to perform steering display. The helmet display control device of the present application detects the user's current posture information through the posture sensor 110, thereby automatically completing the steering display without the user's manual control, which is more convenient and safer.

[0035] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2 , the display module 130 includes: a left turn display unit 131 and a right turn display unit 132, and the display module 130 is used to control the left turn display unit 131 or the right turn display unit 132 to emit light according to the turn display control information. Specifically, in this embodiment, by setting the left turn display unit 131 and the right turn display unit 132 in the display module 130 to display the user's turn information, the turn information can be conveyed more accurately and simply. The left turn display unit 131 is generally arranged at a position close to the left side of the display module 130, and the right turn display unit 132 is generally arranged at a position close to the right side of the display module 130. When the turn information obtained by the controller 120 is that the user turns left, the controller 120 will output the turn display control information for controlling the left turn display unit 131 to emit light, thereby prompting the user to turn left; when the turn information obtained by the controller 120 is that the user turns right, the controller 120 will output the turn display control information for controlling the right turn display unit 132 to emit light, thereby prompting the user to turn right. It is understood that when the left turn display unit 131 and the right turn display unit 132 are LCDs, the left turn display unit 131 or the right turn display unit 132 can emit light completely or in a certain shape when emitting light. When the left turn display unit 131 or the right turn display unit 132 emits light, it can emit light for a certain duration or at a certain flashing frequency.

[0036] In one embodiment, the left turn display unit 131 and the right turn display unit 132 each include a plurality of LED display lights. Specifically, the left turn display unit 131 and the right turn display unit 132 in this embodiment are both composed of a plurality of LED display lights. The left turn display unit 131 includes a plurality of LED display lights, which are usually arranged in a certain shape or pattern, such as an arrow, a circle or other geometric shape. When the controller 120 recognizes the intention to turn left according to the steering information, a part or all of these LED display lights will be activated, thereby forming a visual effect of turning left. The right turn display unit 132 also includes a plurality of LED display lights, which may be arranged in the same or different manner as the left turn display unit 131. When the controller 120 recognizes the intention to turn right according to the steering information, a part or all of these LED display lights will be activated, thereby forming a visual effect of turning right. The present application performs a steering display by setting a plurality of LED display lights, and the LED display lights have the characteristics of high brightness, and can clearly display the steering even in a dark environment. At the same time, the LED display lights have low power consumption, which helps to extend the battery life of the helmet display control device.

[0037] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG3 , the multiple LED display lights in the left turn display unit 131 and the right turn display unit 132 are arranged in an arrow shape. Specifically, in this embodiment, the multiple LED display lights in the left turn display unit 131 are arranged in an arrow shape. When the controller 120 recognizes the intention to turn left based on the steering information, these LED display lights are activated to emit light, thereby forming a clear left turn arrow, prompting the user to turn left. The multiple LED display lights in the right turn display unit 132 are arranged in an arrow shape. When the controller 120 recognizes the intention to turn right based on the steering information, these LED display lights are activated to emit light, thereby forming a clear right turn arrow, prompting the user to turn right. This setting method is simple and clear, and can clearly indicate the user's steering direction, avoiding confusion or misunderstanding caused by unclear steering information.

[0038] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4 , the display module 130 further includes: a display screen 133, the display screen 133 is connected to the controller 120, the controller 120 is also used to output display information, and the display screen 133 is used to display information according to the display information. Specifically, in this embodiment, the display screen 133 is connected to the controller 120 in communication, the display screen 133 is used to receive the display information sent by the controller 120, and the display screen 133 performs corresponding information display after receiving the display information. By additionally setting the display screen 133 in the display module 130, more detailed and complex information can be displayed through the display screen 133. For example, the user can edit the content to be displayed in the controller 120 in advance, and when the display screen 133 is required to display, the controller 120 will send the corresponding display information to the display screen 133, so that the display screen 133 completes the information display. By setting the display screen 133, the user can customize the display content, and the user can flexibly change the display information according to the actual use scenario, so as to flexibly adapt to various scenes. It can be understood that in this embodiment, the display screen 133 can be displayed without being linked with the user's posture.

[0039] In one embodiment, the controller 120 is also used to determine the display information according to the steering information. Specifically, in this embodiment, when the controller 120 outputs the display information, it will combine the steering information at the same time, so as to realize the linkage control of the display screen 133 and the user's posture. For example, when the steering information obtained by the controller 120 is that the user turns left, the display information output by the controller 120 will be used to display the text information of "turn left" on the display screen 133, thereby prompting the user to turn left; when the steering information obtained by the controller 120 is that the user turns right, the display information output by the controller 120 will be used to display the text information of "turn right" on the display screen 133, thereby prompting the user to turn right. In some other embodiments, the controller 120 can also output specific custom display information according to the user's specific posture information (such as nodding, etc.) for display on the display screen 133.

[0040] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG5 , the helmet display control device further includes: a buzzer 140, the buzzer 140 is connected to the controller 120, the controller 120 is also used to output the steering sound control information according to the steering information, and the buzzer 140 is used to make a sound according to the steering sound control information. Specifically, the buzzer 140 is connected to the controller 120 for communication, and after the controller 120 determines the user's steering intention according to the steering information, it will determine the corresponding steering sound control information according to the pre-set settings and send it to the buzzer 140. After the buzzer 140 receives the corresponding steering sound control information, it will make a corresponding sound. The steering sound control information includes the type of sound (such as buzzer, voice prompt, etc.), frequency, duration, etc. For example, after the controller 120 determines that the user is going to turn left according to the steering information, it will send the steering sound control information that makes the buzzer 140 make a "left turn" sound, thereby prompting the user to turn left. In this embodiment, the buzzer 140 is set to strengthen the steering prompt, and the prompt effect is enhanced through the multiple combination of hearing and vision.

[0041] In one embodiment, the attitude sensor 110 is a six-axis attitude sensor. Specifically, in this embodiment, a six-axis attitude sensor is used to detect attitude information. The six-axis attitude sensor includes a three-axis accelerometer and a three-axis gyroscope, which can measure the acceleration and angle parameters of the X, Y, and Z axes of the attitude sensor 110 itself, and through data fusion, the attitude angle can be obtained.
