[0070] Although smart glasses have made significant technological progress in the past few years, especially in information prompts, voice recognition and intelligent audio processing, they still face many challenges. Most of the smart glasses on the market do not integrate high-cost display modules, but provide services to users through audio feedback, tactile feedback and sensor monitoring. However, it is this appearance design that is almost indistinguishable from ordinary glasses that brings hidden dangers in privacy protection. When taking photos or videos, it is often difficult for the outside world to detect whether the glasses are in working condition, which makes smart glasses likely to be abused in some cases, especially in public places or private spaces, where third parties may have weak privacy awareness. In the absence of obvious signs, smart glasses may record images or videos of others without their knowledge, thereby infringing on the privacy rights of others. To this end, smart glasses manufacturers should not only focus on product technological innovation, but also fully consider social responsibility and ethical standards, and design more compliant and humane privacy protection mechanisms to avoid potential privacy violations caused by improper application of technology.

[0071] In view of this, the present disclosure provides a pair of smart glasses, an image acquisition method and a device.

[0072] Next, the embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail.

[0073] The first aspect of the present disclosure provides a smart glasses, such as Figure 1 As shown, the smart glasses include at least one sensor, an image acquisition component and a prompt light.

[0074] Wherein, at least one sensor is used to collect sensor data when receiving an image acquisition request, the image acquisition component is used to turn on when the sensor data meets a preset condition, and the prompt light is used to turn on simultaneously with the image acquisition component when the sensor data meets the preset condition to indicate the turned-on state of the image acquisition component, wherein the preset condition is used to indicate that the prompt light is not covered. Optionally, the prompt light can be composed of a plurality of lamp beads surrounding the sensor, that is, the placement position between the sensor and the prompt light is as follows: Figure 2 shown.

[0075] In this embodiment, by configuring at least one sensor and a prompt light in the smart glasses, and pre-setting the conditions for turning on the image acquisition component and the prompt light, when the sensor collects sensor data and then determines that the sensor data meets the preset conditions, it can be determined that the prompt light is not covered, thereby turning on the prompt light and the image acquisition component, so that the image acquisition component cannot be turned on when the prompt light is not on or is covered (that is, it cannot serve as a prompt), so that the person being photographed can be clearly informed by turning on the prompt light that filming is currently in progress, thereby improving transparency and trust, avoiding unauthorized or improper filming, and improving the privacy and security of the person being photographed.

[0076] Furthermore, the distance between the sensor and the prompt light is less than a first threshold value to ensure that the sensing data collected by the sensor can determine whether the prompt light is covered; the sensor, the prompt light and the image acquisition component are all facing the same direction to ensure that during the image acquisition component capturing the image, the person being captured can more clearly see the prompt light turn on, thereby knowing that he or she is currently being photographed; the sensor may include a distance sensor, a light sensor, a pressure sensor, an infrared sensor, and the like.

[0077] Based on the above embodiments, in an exemplary embodiment, when the sensor is the light sensor, the distance between the warning light and the light sensor is greater than or equal to a second threshold, so that the light emitting range of the warning light does not overlap with the collection range of the light sensor.

[0078] It should be noted that, in the case where the sensor is a light sensor, the distance between the prompt light and the light sensor is greater than or equal to a second threshold value, so that the light-emitting range of the prompt light and the collection range of the light sensor do not overlap. The second threshold value refers to a preset distance threshold between the prompt light and the light sensor, and the second threshold value is less than the above-mentioned first threshold value. By setting the threshold between the prompt light and the light sensor to be greater than or equal to the second threshold value, the light-emitting range of the prompt light and the collection range of the light sensor can be made to not overlap, so as to ensure that the sensor data collected by the light sensor will not be affected by the light emission of the prompt light, and whether the prompt light is covered can be determined more accurately, so as to ensure that when the image is captured by the image capture component, the person being captured can clearly know that he or she is being photographed.

[0079] In an exemplary embodiment, the smart glasses further include a microphone array for collecting audio. By setting a microphone array in the smart glasses and collecting audio by the microphone array, it is possible to more efficiently and accurately determine whether to enter the teaching mode based on the audio collected by the microphone array, thereby ensuring that the teaching function is triggered under appropriate conditions, thereby improving the use efficiency and experience.

[0080] In an exemplary embodiment, the smart glasses further include a communication module for detecting whether the smart glasses are connected to a pre-paired terminal. By setting the communication module in the smart glasses, it is possible to more accurately determine whether the smart glasses are connected to a pre-paired terminal device, ensuring that in the teaching mode, image acquisition is continued only when the connection with the terminal device is maintained. If it is determined that the connection between the smart glasses and the pre-paired terminal device is disconnected, it means that image acquisition is not allowed in the current scene, and the system automatically turns off the image acquisition component, thereby effectively ensuring the confidentiality requirements of the current scene and improving the intelligence and reliability of the smart glasses.

[0081] The second aspect of the present disclosure provides an image acquisition method, which can be applied to a scenario where smart glasses acquire images. Optionally, the image acquisition method can be performed by the smart glasses described in the first aspect. Figure 3 , which comprises the following steps:

[0082] S301: upon receiving an image acquisition request, acquiring sensor data acquired by at least one sensor.

[0083] Among them, the image acquisition request refers to a request to start the image acquisition component and acquire an image; the sensor data refers to the data acquired by the sensor. For example, if the sensor is a distance sensor, the sensor data is the distance data acquired by the distance sensor.

[0084] Optionally, the user can initiate an image acquisition request to the smart glasses by operating the smart glasses (such as buttons, touch, voice commands, etc.), or by operating a terminal device (such as a mobile phone) that has a communication connection with the smart glasses; after receiving the image acquisition request, the smart glasses can obtain sensor data collected by at least one sensor.

[0085] S302: When the sensing data meets a preset condition, turn on the image acquisition component and the prompt light.

[0086] The prompt light is used to indicate the on state of the image acquisition component when it is turned on, and the preset condition is used to indicate that the prompt light is not covered.

[0087] Exemplarily, when the sensor is a distance sensor, the preset condition should be that the distance data corresponding to the sensor data is greater than the distance threshold; when the distance data corresponding to the sensor data is greater than the distance threshold, the image acquisition component and the prompt light are turned on. The distance threshold refers to a preset threshold of the distance data corresponding to the sensor data collected by the distance sensor.

[0088] Optionally, the sensor data collected by the distance sensor is acquired, and then the distance data corresponding to the sensor data is compared with a preset distance threshold; when it is determined that the distance data is greater than the distance threshold, the image acquisition component and the prompt light can be turned on to capture the image through the image acquisition component, and the lit prompt light can be used to prompt the person being captured that he or she is currently being captured, thereby achieving the effect of improving the privacy and security of the person being captured.

[0089] Exemplarily, when the sensor is the light sensor, the preset condition should be that the light intensity corresponding to the sensing data is greater than the light intensity threshold; when the light intensity corresponding to the sensing data is greater than the light intensity threshold, the image acquisition component and the prompt light are turned on. The light intensity threshold refers to the preset light intensity threshold corresponding to the sensing data collected by the light sensor.

[0090] Optionally, the sensing data collected by the light sensor is acquired, and then the illuminance corresponding to the sensing data is compared with a preset illuminance threshold; when it is determined that the illuminance is greater than the illuminance threshold, the image acquisition component and the prompt light can be turned on to capture the image through the image acquisition component, and the lit prompt light can be used to prompt the person being captured that he or she is currently being photographed, thereby achieving the effect of improving the privacy and security of the person being captured.

[0091] Exemplarily, when the sensor is the pressure sensor, the preset condition should be that the pressure data corresponding to the sensing data is less than the preset pressure threshold. It is understandable that when the pressure data is greater than or equal to the preset pressure threshold, it can be determined that the prompt light is covered, that is, it is impossible to light up the prompt light to inform the subject that he is currently being photographed, and the image acquisition component cannot be turned on.

[0092] In the case where the sensor is the infrared sensor, the preset condition should be that the detected infrared radiation signal is greater than the preset signal threshold; if the infrared radiation signal in the sensing data collected by the infrared sensor is not greater than the preset signal threshold, it can be determined that the prompt light is covered, that is, it is impossible to inform the person being photographed that he is currently being photographed by lighting up the prompt light, and then the image acquisition component cannot be turned on.

[0093] In the disclosed embodiment, at least one sensor and a prompt light are configured on the smart glasses, and the conditions for turning on the image acquisition component and the prompt light are pre-set. When an image acquisition request is received, it is determined whether the sensor data collected by the sensor meets the preset conditions. Only when the sensor data meets the preset conditions, the image acquisition component and the prompt light are turned on. The image acquisition component can be turned on under the premise that the prompt light is not covered, so that the image acquisition component cannot be turned on when the prompt light is not on or is covered (that is, it cannot serve as a prompt). By turning on the prompt light, the person being captured is clearly informed that filming is currently being performed, thereby improving transparency and trust, avoiding unauthorized or improper filming, and improving the privacy and security of the person being captured.

[0094] Based on the above embodiments, in an exemplary embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the method specifically further includes the following steps:

[0095] S401, in response to receiving a mode entry request, turning on the microphone array, and determining a source direction and volume of audio collected by the microphone array.

[0096] The mode entry request refers to a request to enter the teaching mode. The user can initiate a mode entry request by clicking or long pressing the smart glasses, or by clicking or long pressing the terminal connected to the smart glasses. The teaching mode is used in teaching scenarios, such as classrooms and lectures. The teaching mode refers to turning on the image acquisition component but not turning on the prompt light to prevent the prompt light from interfering with the lecturer and causing a decrease in the teaching quality.

[0097] Optionally, the user can initiate a mode entry request to the smart glasses by performing mode entry operations on the smart glasses (such as long pressing a button, touching, voice command, etc.), or by operating a terminal device (such as a mobile phone) that has a communication connection with the smart glasses; after receiving the mode entry request, the smart glasses can control the microphone array to turn on, and obtain the source direction and volume of the audio collected by the microphone array.

[0098] S402, entering a teaching mode when the range of the source direction of the audio collected by the microphone array is smaller than a preset angle and the volume is greater than or equal to a preset volume.

[0099] The preset angle refers to a preset range threshold of the source direction of the collected audio. The preset volume refers to a preset volume threshold of the collected audio.

[0100] Optionally, the angle corresponding to the range of the source direction of the audio collected by the microphone array can be determined, the determined angle can be compared with a preset angle, and the volume of the audio collected by the microphone array can be compared with a preset volume; further, when it is determined that the angle is less than the preset angle, and the volume is greater than or equal to the preset volume, it can be determined that the current scene is a teaching scene, and then the teaching mode is entered, that is, when image acquisition is performed through the image acquisition component, only the image acquisition component is turned on, but the prompt light is not turned on.

[0101] In this embodiment, by configuring a microphone array in the smart glasses, when a mode entry request is received, the microphone array is turned on to collect audio, and it is determined whether the range of the source direction of the collected audio is less than a preset angle, and whether the volume is greater than or equal to the preset volume. When it is determined that the range of the source direction of the collected audio is less than the preset angle, and the volume is greater than or equal to the preset volume, it is possible to more efficiently and accurately determine that the current scene is a teaching scene, and then enter the teaching mode, which can ensure that the teaching function is triggered under appropriate conditions, thereby improving usage efficiency and experience.

[0102] Based on the above embodiments, in an exemplary embodiment, when entering the teaching mode, in response to receiving an image acquisition request, the source direction of the audio collected by the microphone array at the current moment is obtained; when the source direction of the audio collected when entering the teaching mode is consistent with the source direction of the audio collected at the current moment, the image acquisition component is turned on and the prompt light is kept off.

[0103] Optionally, when entering the teaching mode, if an image acquisition request is received, the source direction of the audio collected by the microphone at the current moment can be obtained, and the source direction of the audio collected when entering the teaching mode in the above S301 can be obtained; further, the source direction of the audio collected at the current moment can be compared with the source direction of the audio collected when entering the teaching mode. When it is determined that the source direction of the audio collected at the current moment is consistent with the source direction of the audio collected when entering the teaching mode (such as there is an 80% overlap between the angle of the source direction of the audio collected at the current moment and the angle of the source direction of the audio collected when entering the teaching mode), it can be determined that the current scene is still a teaching scene, the image acquisition component can be turned on, and the prompt light can be kept off.

[0104] In this embodiment, when the smart glasses enter the teaching mode and receive an image acquisition request, it is possible to accurately and efficiently determine whether the current scene is still the teaching scene by determining whether the source direction of the audio collected at the current moment is consistent with the source direction of the audio collected when entering the teaching mode; when it is determined that the source direction of the audio collected at the current moment is consistent with the source direction of the audio collected when entering the teaching mode, that is, the current scene is still the teaching mode, the image acquisition component can be turned on and the prompt light can be kept off, thereby avoiding the problem of not being able to prompt the person being photographed that the image is being photographed when the teaching mode is entered but the current scene is not a teaching scene, thereby further avoiding unauthorized or improper shooting behavior and ensuring the privacy of the person being photographed.

[0105] In an exemplary embodiment, when entering the teaching mode, if the communication module detects that the smart glasses are disconnected from the pre-paired terminal device, the image acquisition component is turned off.

[0106] Among them, the communication module may include a Bluetooth module, etc.; the pre-paired terminal device may be a terminal device that has pre-established a communication connection with the smart glasses, that is, a paired terminal device, such as a mobile phone connected to the smart glasses via Bluetooth.

[0107] Optionally, the smart glasses are also provided with a communication module. When entering the teaching mode, the communication module can be used to detect whether the smart glasses are connected to a pre-paired terminal device. If it is detected that the smart glasses are disconnected from the pre-paired terminal device, the current scene is determined as a teaching scene with higher confidentiality requirements, that is, a teaching scene in which recording, image acquisition, etc. cannot be performed, and the image acquisition component is then turned off.

[0108] In this embodiment, the smart glasses monitor the connection status with the pre-paired terminal device in real time through the communication module to ensure that in the teaching mode, image acquisition will only continue when the connection with the terminal device is maintained. If the connection is disconnected, it means that the current scene does not allow image acquisition, and the system automatically shuts down the image acquisition component, thereby effectively ensuring the confidentiality requirements of the current scene, and ensuring that image acquisition operations can only be performed when the device is normally connected, that is, the current scene allows the terminal device to enter, and it is not a scene with high confidentiality requirements, thereby improving the intelligence and reliability of the smart glasses.

[0109] In an exemplary embodiment, the image captured by the image acquisition component may also be identified; when a restraining action is identified in the image, the image acquisition component is turned off.

[0110] Among them, the stopping action refers to an action that is recognized in the image and indicates stopping or prohibition, such as raising hands, palms facing outwards, waving hands and other stopping gestures.

[0111] Optionally, after obtaining the image captured by the image acquisition component, the captured image can be identified. If it is identified that there are actions consistent with the stopping action in the captured image, such as raising hands, palms facing outward, waving hands, etc., the image acquisition component can be automatically closed and the image acquisition can be stopped.

[0112] In this embodiment, by intelligently identifying the images collected by the image acquisition component, the system can automatically detect and respond to the stop action (such as a stop gesture, etc.) of the person being collected. When a stop action is recognized, that is, the person being collected wishes to stop image collection, the system will immediately close the image acquisition component, thereby effectively protecting the privacy of the person being collected, avoiding unnecessary recording or collection, and thus improving the interactivity of the system and user experience.

[0113] In an exemplary embodiment, when it is identified that the image contains sensitive content, the image containing the sensitive content may be masked, and the masked image may be saved.

[0114] Among them, sensitive content refers to image content that may cause privacy leakage, legal issues, social controversy, moral discomfort or other potential risks.

[0115] Optionally, the images captured by the image acquisition component can be identified. When the system detects through image recognition technology that the image contains sensitive content (such as personal privacy information or other inappropriate content), the sensitive content can be masked, for example, by blurring, pixelating or blackening, to hide the sensitive content from the image; and the masked image can then be saved.

[0116] In this embodiment, when sensitive content is identified in an image, the sensitive content in the image is automatically covered, which can effectively protect personal privacy and sensitive information and avoid unauthorized disclosure or improper dissemination. At the same time, this processing method can ensure that the image is saved and used under the premise of compliance, which not only meets the privacy protection requirements, but also retains other important information of the image, improves the security and legality of data processing, and prevents legal or ethical risks.
