Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of wearable devices, and specifically, provides a smart glasses temple, smart glasses and a working method, and a data acquisition system. Background Art

[0002] The glasses include a frame and temples. For smart glasses provided with a camera, if the frame and the temples are separable, the camera is usually provided on the frame under this structure, and the circuit in the frame is electrically connected with the circuit of the temples.

[0003] In fact, the frames and lenses are usually provided by traditional eyeglass manufacturers, and the temples are provided by electrical device manufacturers. After obtaining the frames, the frames need to be modified to make them electrically connected to the temples. During the design and iteration process, it is necessary to consider the electrical connection between the frames and temples, and design the circuits of the left and right temples separately. During testing, the left and right temples need to be connected to the frames, which makes the development cycle longer and affects the development and testing costs.

[0004] Some smart glasses have an integrated design of frames and temples. Although there is no need to consider the electrical connection between the frames and temples, the left and right temples still need to be designed and electrically connected, which still leads to the problem of high development and testing costs. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of this, the present application aims to provide a pair of smart glasses temples, smart glasses and working methods, and a data acquisition system, so as to shorten the development cycle of smart glasses and reduce development and testing costs without affecting the normal functions of the smart glasses.

[0006] First, an embodiment of the present application provides a pair of smart glasses temples, comprising: a shell, a surface of one side of which is provided with a connector, and the connector is used to connect the shell to the frame of the smart glasses; the shell comprises a hollow accommodating cavity, and a camera, a processor, a storage module, a wireless communication module and a battery are arranged in the accommodating cavity; the camera is respectively connected to the processor and the storage module, and the processor is connected to the storage module and the wireless communication module; the wireless communication module is connected to the processor and the storage module; the battery is respectively connected to the camera, the processor, the storage module and the wireless communication module.

[0007] In the embodiment of the present application, the side of the shell of the smart glasses temple is provided with a connector, which can realize the detachable connection between the temple and the frame, and the camera, processor, storage module, wireless communication module and battery and other electrical components are all arranged in the shell, the camera is at the temple and shoots the front, and the connector is arranged on the side of the temple, and the frame will be connected to the side, so the camera will not be blocked by the frame, and the camera can work normally, thus, the temple of the smart glasses can be used as a normal smart glasses after being connected to the frame. This method enables the temple of the smart glasses to realize the function of smart glasses. Therefore, during development, only the temple needs to be developed, and after the development is completed, only the temple and the frame need to be mechanically connected, without considering the electrical connection between the frame and the temple, which effectively reduces the development difficulty and shortens the development cycle. During testing, even only a single temple is needed to realize the test. If the collaborative work between the two temples needs to be considered, the two can be connected by communication through the wireless communication module without electrical connection, thus, the cost of testing can be effectively reduced.

[0008] In one embodiment, the housing includes a front end and a rear end opposite to each other, the front end is an end close to the lens frame; and the camera is disposed at the front end.

[0009] In the embodiment of the present application, the camera is arranged at the front end, so that the camera is not blocked in the image acquisition direction, so that the temples of the smart glasses can also realize image acquisition normally.

[0010] In one embodiment, a protrusion is provided on the upper surface of the shell or on the side surface where the connecting member is not located, and the accommodating cavity is connected to the interior of the protrusion; the camera is fixedly arranged on the protrusion, and the camera is arranged forward.

[0011] The camera has a certain size, while the size of the temple is limited, otherwise it is not convenient to wear. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, a protrusion can be provided on the upper surface of the shell, and the camera is provided in the protrusion to reduce the restriction of the camera on the size of the temple, and it is not necessary to set the size of the entire temple larger than the camera. At the same time, the camera can be free from being blocked by other components such as the frame and temple, and the camera can be used to shoot the scene in front of the user.

[0012] In one embodiment, the temple of the smart glasses further includes a speaker, which is disposed in the accommodating cavity and is respectively connected to the processor and the storage module.

[0013] In an embodiment of the present application, a speaker is provided on the temple of the smart glasses so that the smart glasses can realize the function of audio playback, realize the test of the audio playback function, and expand the scope of use of the temple of the smart glasses.

[0014] In one embodiment, the temple of the smart glasses further includes a microphone group, and the microphone group is disposed in the accommodating cavity; the microphone group includes at least one microphone.

[0015] In an embodiment of the present application, a microphone is provided in the temple, so that the temple can collect voice, realize the test of the audio collection function, and expand the scope of use of the temple of the smart glasses.

[0016] In one embodiment, the microphone group includes a first microphone and a second microphone, and the distance between the first microphone and the second microphone is greater than a preset distance; the processor is configured to determine whether the wearer of the smart glasses where the temple is located is speaking based on the amplitude difference, power difference or phase difference of the audio signals collected by the first microphone and the second microphone respectively.

[0017] In an embodiment of the present application, the distance between the first microphone and the second microphone is greater than a preset distance, so that the audio signals collected by the first microphone and the second microphone can be different, forming a differential signal, so that the temples of the smart glasses can identify whether the wearer is speaking through the differential audio signals collected by different microphones, such as determining whether the wearer of the smart glasses where the temples are located is speaking through amplitude difference, power difference or phase difference. By determining whether the wearer is speaking, it is helpful to test functions such as speech noise reduction and sound directional collection.

[0018] In one embodiment, the first microphone is disposed at an upper portion of the accommodating cavity, and the second microphone is disposed at a lower portion of the accommodating cavity.

[0019] In the embodiment of the present application, the first microphone and the second microphone are respectively arranged above and below the accommodating cavity, which helps to increase the distance between the first microphone and the second microphone and improve the accuracy of detecting the wearer's speech based on the audio signals collected by the two microphones.

[0020] In one embodiment, the angle between the first direction and the second direction is within a preset angle range; the first direction is the direction in which the first microphone points to the second microphone, and the second direction is the direction in which the second microphone points to a preset position, and the preset position is used to represent a preset wearer's mouth position.

[0021] In the embodiment of the present application, the angle between the first direction and the second direction is within a preset angle range, and the second direction pointed by the second microphone represents the position of the wearer's mouth. This method can improve the difference between the sounds collected by the first microphone and the second microphone from the direction of the wearer's mouth, and improve the accuracy of the wearer's speech detection.

[0022] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a pair of smart glasses, including: a first temple and a second temple, wherein the first temple and the second temple are both temples of the smart glasses as described in any one of the first aspect; the first temple and the second temple are wirelessly connected; and a frame connected to the first temple and the second temple.

[0023] In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a data acquisition system, comprising: the smart glasses as described in the second aspect; and a main device, wirelessly connected to at least one of the first temple and the second temple in the smart glasses.

[0024] In a fourth aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for operating smart glasses, which is applied to a processor of a first temple in the smart glasses as described in the second aspect, and the method for operating smart glasses includes: upon receiving a first image acquisition instruction, obtaining a first remaining power of the battery; comparing the first remaining power with a first preset threshold; if the first remaining power is less than the first preset threshold, sending a second image acquisition instruction to the second temple to instruct the second temple to perform image acquisition.

[0025] Wearable devices such as smart glasses cannot be equipped with large batteries due to their size, so such devices have high requirements for battery life. In the embodiment of the present application, when performing image acquisition, the temple can determine whether to perform image acquisition by itself by judging whether its own power is sufficient. When the power is low (such as lower than the first preset threshold), it can issue a command to enable the other temple to perform image acquisition. In this way, under the premise of not affecting the normal image acquisition work, different temples are reasonably coordinated to work, thereby improving the overall battery life of the smart glasses.

[0026] In one embodiment, the method also includes: upon receiving a second image acquisition instruction issued by the second temple, obtaining a second remaining power of the second temple; comparing the second remaining power with the first remaining power; if the first remaining power is greater than the second remaining power, starting the camera to perform image acquisition; if the first remaining power is less than the second remaining power, sending a third image acquisition instruction to the second temple to instruct the second temple to perform data acquisition.

[0027] In an embodiment of the present application, the power levels of different temples can be compared so that the temples with lower power levels can be used to collect image data, thereby improving the overall battery life of different smart glasses.

[0028] In one embodiment, the first temple is communicatively connected to a main device; during the image acquisition process, the first temple continuously transmits the acquired image data to the main device; the smart glasses operating method also includes: obtaining the first remaining power; when the first remaining power is less than a second preset threshold, stopping transmitting the image data to the main device, and storing the image data in a storage module.

[0029] In the embodiment of the present application, if the remaining power of the temple is insufficient, the image data transmission is stopped and stored locally to reduce the power consumption caused by data transmission and ensure that the image data is collected normally.

[0030] In one embodiment, the first temple includes a first microphone and a second microphone; the smart glasses operating method also includes: acquiring a first audio signal collected by the first microphone and a second audio signal collected by the second microphone; and determining whether the wearer of the smart glasses is speaking based on the first audio signal and the second audio signal.

[0031] In one embodiment, determining whether the wearer of the smart glasses is speaking based on the first audio signal and the second audio signal includes: calculating one of the amplitude difference, power difference or phase difference between the first audio signal and the second audio signal; and determining that the wearer of the smart glasses is speaking when any one of the following conditions is met: the amplitude difference is greater than a preset amplitude difference threshold, the power difference is greater than a preset power difference threshold, and the phase difference is greater than a preset phase difference threshold.

[0032] In a fifth aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a readable storage medium, wherein the readable storage medium stores a program.

[0041] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clear, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0042] First, the embodiment of the present application provides a smart glasses temple 100. The temple includes: a housing, a camera 220, a processor 210, a storage module 230, a wireless communication module 240 and a battery 250.

[0043] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a smart glasses temple 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The shell includes a front end and a rear end. When the smart glasses temple 100 (or simply referred to as "template") is worn, the front end refers to the end close to the frame, and the rear end is the end away from the frame. The shape of the shell can refer to the temple, which will not be expanded here. Figure 1 This is only an example and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, in an embodiment of the present application, a connecting piece is provided on one side surface of the shell, and the connecting piece may be a card slot, a bolt, a magnetic component or the like, or a corresponding component may be provided on the frame, and through the connecting piece, the temple 100 of the smart glasses can be detachably connected to the connecting piece.

[0045] In the above embodiments, the frame may not be provided with a circuit, but may be composed of a lens and a lens frame, and components that can be connected to the connector of the smart glasses temple 100 are provided on both sides of the frame. In other embodiments, if a circuit is provided on the frame, the connector may also include a mechanical connection part 110 and an electrical connection part 110, the mechanical connection part 110 is used to fix the frame and the smart glasses temple 100, and the electrical connection part 110 is used to electrically connect the electrical components between the smart glasses temple 100 and the frame. The above is only an example and should not be a limitation to the present application.

[0046] In an embodiment of the present application, the housing includes a hollow accommodating cavity 120 , and the camera 220 , the processor 210 , the storage module 230 , the wireless communication module 240 and the battery 250 are all disposed in the accommodating cavity 120 .

[0047] The processor 210 may be a CPU (Central Processing Unit), an MCU (microcontroller unit), etc. The storage module 230 may include a cache, a random access memory, etc. The battery 250 may be a disposable battery or a chargeable and dischargeable battery. The wireless communication module 240 may be a Bluetooth module, a WiFi (Wireless Fidelity) module, etc. The camera 220 may be any type of camera, and its size is adapted to the smart glasses. The types, structures, and supporting circuits of the above-mentioned devices can refer to the prior art and will not be expanded here.

[0048] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 A circuit connection diagram of a smart glasses temple 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. In the embodiment of the present application, the power supply supplies power to each electrical component in the smart glasses temple 100. For example, the battery 250 is respectively connected to the camera 220, the processor 210, the storage module 230, and the wireless communication module 240, and supplies power to them. In other embodiments of the present application, if the smart glasses temple 100 also includes other electrical components, such as a microphone, a speaker, etc., the other electrical components are also connected to the battery 250 so that the battery 250 supplies power to them.

[0049] In an embodiment of the present application, the processor 210 is configured with a program that can control the operation of various electrical components in the temple 100 of the smart glasses. The processor 210 and its program can refer to the prior art and will not be expanded here.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, the camera 220 is connected to the processor 210 and the storage module 230 respectively. The camera 220 can acquire images in response to the control of the processor 210 and store the acquired image data into the storage module 230 .

[0051] In an embodiment of the present application, the wireless communication module 240 is connected to the processor 210 and the storage module 230. The wireless communication module 240 can be connected to other temples in communication. For example, a pair of smart glasses includes two temples 100 of smart glasses, and the two temples 100 of smart glasses are connected to each other in communication via the wireless communication module 240. The temples 100 of smart glasses can also be connected to other devices via the wireless communication module 240, for example, connected to devices such as mobile phones and tablet computers.

[0052] In one embodiment of the present application, the wireless communication module 240 may also be connected to the camera 220 , and the image data collected by the camera 220 may be transmitted to other devices via the wireless communication module 240 .

[0053] A pair of smart glasses includes two temples. The two temples of some smart glasses are provided with the same or different circuits. The two temples may need to cooperate to perform functions, and the two temples may involve signal transmission. Therefore, during functional testing or normal use, the two temples need at least a communication connection for signal transmission. In the present application, the two temples of the smart glasses can achieve wireless communication connection through the wireless communication module 240 to transmit signals through wireless communication. This method does not require the circuit in the frame to achieve communication connection between the two temples, effectively reducing the complexity of testing the functions related to the cooperation between the two temples, and does not require the development of corresponding frame circuits, thereby reducing development costs.

[0054] In smart glasses, the smart glasses are usually used to collect data in front of the wearer after being worn. Accordingly, in the embodiment of the present application, the camera 220 is also used to collect data in front of the wearer. Therefore, the camera 220 is arranged forward, wherein the front can also be understood as the direction from the rear end of the smart glasses temple 100 to the front end. In the present application, the front end, rear end, front, and rear of the smart glasses temple 100 can refer to the orientation or direction of existing glasses when worn, and no further explanation is given here.

[0055] In one embodiment of the present application, the camera 220 can be arranged at the front end and facing forward to capture images in front of the front end of the smart glasses temple 100.

[0056] In one embodiment of the present application, the surface of the front end may be transparent, for example, using glass, transparent acrylic plate, etc. In some embodiments, the surface of the front end may also be provided with a through hole, and the camera 220 is provided in the through hole.

[0057] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3Schematic diagram of the protrusion 130 provided in one embodiment of the present application. In another embodiment of the present application, the upper surface of the housing is provided with a protrusion 130, the accommodating cavity 120 is connected to the interior of the protrusion 130, the camera 220 is fixedly arranged on the protrusion 130, and the camera 220 is arranged forward. Similarly, the protrusion 130 can also be arranged on the side surface of the housing other than the connecting member ( Figure 3 not shown).

[0058] The interior of the protrusion 130 is also hollow and can accommodate the camera 220. The camera 220 is fixedly arranged in the protrusion 130 and is arranged forward to collect images in front of the smart glasses. The accommodating cavity 120 is connected to the interior of the protrusion 130, which is equivalent to the hollow part of the protrusion 130 being a part of the accommodating cavity 120. The camera 220 can be electrically connected to other electrical components in the accommodating cavity 120.

[0059] The camera 220 has a certain size, which makes the housing have a certain length and width to accommodate the camera 220, which may make the overall size of the temple larger. In this embodiment, an additional protrusion 130 is provided to accommodate the camera 220, so that the housing body of the smart glasses temple 100 can be appropriately reduced in size to facilitate wearing, and reduce the obstruction of the visual field and light after wearing due to the excessive volume of the front end of the smart glasses temple 100. At the same time, the camera can be free from the obstruction of other components such as the frame and temple, and the camera can be used to shoot the scenery in front of the user.

[0060] In some embodiments, if the camera 220 is disposed on the protruding portion 130 , the connecting portion 110 may also be disposed on the front end surface of the temple 100 of the smart glasses.

[0061] In one embodiment of the present application, the smart glasses temple 100 may further include a speaker, which is disposed in the accommodating cavity 120 and is respectively connected to the processor 210 and the storage module 230 .

[0062] Through the speaker, processor 210 and storage module 230, the smart glasses temple 100 can be configured with an audio playback function, implement the test of the audio playback function, and expand the scope of use of the smart glasses temple 100.

[0063] The section from the middle to the rear end of the temple is closer to the ear of the wearer. Therefore, in this embodiment, the speaker can be arranged in the accommodating cavity 120 of the temple 100 of the smart glasses near the middle or the rear end of the temple 100. At the same time, in order to reduce the obstruction of the shell to the propagation of sound, a through hole can be arranged in the accommodating cavity 120 at the position where the speaker is arranged to communicate with the surface of the shell, so that the sound can be propagated through the through hole.

[0064] In one embodiment, the temple 100 of the smart glasses further includes a microphone group, which is disposed in the accommodating cavity 120 . The microphone group includes at least one microphone, and each microphone is connected to the processor 210 and the storage module 230 .

[0065] Some smart glasses have the need for audio collection, for example, recording, voice calls, and at the same time, the corresponding audio information may also need to be collected when collecting images. Therefore, in the embodiments of the present application, a microphone can be set in the temple, so that the temple can collect voice, expand the scope of use of the temple 100 of the smart glasses, and enrich the functional diversity. At the same time, when testing the temple, the audio collection function can also be tested.

[0066] In scenarios such as voice calls and recordings, it is necessary to identify whether the wearer is speaking, and then perform voice noise reduction, or functions such as voice assistants need to identify the wearer's voice commands and whether the wearer is speaking. Currently, a differential signal can be used to determine the direction of the sound source, and then determine whether the user is speaking. Therefore, in some embodiments of the present application, the microphone group can be a first microphone and a second microphone, and the distance between the first microphone and the second microphone is greater than a preset distance.

[0067] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the microphone position relationship provided in an embodiment of the present application. Mic1 and Mic2 represent the first microphone and the second microphone respectively, d0 is the distance between the first microphone and the second microphone, S1 is the direction from the first microphone to the second microphone, S1 can be recorded as the first direction, S2 is the direction from the second microphone to the preset position P, S2 can be recorded as the second direction, and α is the angle between the first direction and the second direction.

[0068] In this embodiment, d0 is greater than a preset distance. The preset distance may refer to the requirement for a differential audio signal when identifying the direction of a sound source through a differential audio signal in the prior art, and is not limited here.

[0069] Thus, the first microphone and the second microphone can collect different audio signals with differences in phase, power or amplitude, that is, differential audio signals, and then the processor 210 can identify whether the wearer is speaking based on the differential audio signals collected by the first microphone and the second microphone. For example, the processor 210 is configured to determine whether the wearer of the smart glasses where the temple is located is speaking based on the amplitude difference, power difference or phase difference of the audio signals collected by the first microphone and the second microphone. The processor 210 determines the direction of the sound source based on the differential audio signal, and then determines whether the wearer is speaking. The method can refer to the prior art and will not be expanded here.

[0070] The size of the temples is usually small. In order to make the audio signals collected by the two microphones as different as possible, the first microphone can be set at the top of the accommodating cavity 120, and the second microphone can be set at the bottom of the accommodating cavity 120. Compared with placing the two microphones on the same horizontal line, placing one microphone above and the other below can increase the distance between the two microphones as much as possible, thereby increasing the phase difference, amplitude difference or power difference of the audio signals collected by the two microphones.

[0071] When determining whether the wearer is speaking, what is required is that the differential audio signal has differences in the direction of the sound source to be identified. For example, if it is necessary to identify whether the wearer is speaking, it is necessary to determine the differences between different audio signals in the direction of the wearer's mouth.

[0072] Since the smart glasses are worn on the ears, when the distance between the first microphone and the second microphone is the same, the distance between the first microphone and the second microphone mapped one above and one below the other is greater than when the two are on the same horizontal plane, which helps to improve the difference in audio signals collected by the two.

[0073] Combined with this application Figure 4 As shown, further, in one embodiment of the present application, a preset position is also configured, the preset position P is a preset wearer's mouth position, and the angle α between the first direction and the second direction is within a preset angle range. Thus, the mapping distance between the first microphone and the second microphone to the plane where the smart glasses and the wearer's mouth (i.e., the sound source) are located can be further increased, thereby improving the difference between the audio signals collected by the first microphone and the second microphone, and improving the accuracy of the wearer's speech recognition.

[0074] In this embodiment, the theoretical optimal angle of the preset angle range is 0, and the first microphone, the second microphone and the preset position are on the same straight line. However, considering the difference in head size of different wearers, the distance from the ear to the mouth is different, so the preset angle range can be a smaller range, for example, 0 to 20°, 0 to 30°, etc., which can be reasonably set according to the head differences of the wearer's user group, and will not be elaborated here.

[0075] Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiment of the present application further provides a smart glasses, which includes a frame, a first temple and a second temple. The first temple and the second temple are respectively the left temple and the right temple of the smart glasses. For example, when the first temple is the left temple, the second temple is the right temple. When the second temple is the left temple, the first temple is the right temple.

[0076] The first temple is the temple 100 of the smart glasses provided in any of the above embodiments, and is connected to the frame through a connector. The second temple may be a temple without a circuit, and may be made of metal, plastic, or other materials. The frame may also not include a circuit, and may include a metal or plastic outer frame and a lens disposed in the outer frame. The frame and the second temple are also detachably connected through a connector.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present application, the first temple and the second temple are both the smart glasses temples 100 provided in any of the aforementioned embodiments, and the first temple and the second temple are connected via wireless communication.

[0078] Based on the same inventive concept, the present application embodiment also provides a data acquisition system 400, see Figure 5 , Figure 5 The data acquisition system 400 is a schematic diagram of a data acquisition system 400 according to an embodiment of the present application. The data acquisition system 400 includes: smart glasses 300 and a host device 410.

[0079] The smart glasses 300 are the smart glasses provided by any of the aforementioned embodiments, or are smart glasses including the smart glasses temples 100 provided by any of the aforementioned embodiments.

[0080] The main device 410 can be a mobile phone, a computer, a server or other device. The main device 410 and the smart glasses are directly or indirectly connected via wireless communication.

[0081] The image data and / or audio data collected by the smart glasses 300 can be transmitted to the main device 410 via a wireless communication connection, and the main device 410 can issue control instructions to the smart glasses to control the smart glasses to collect data.

[0082] The smart glasses 300 are a wearable mobile device, but due to size limitations, they cannot carry a larger battery 250 , and therefore have higher requirements on power consumption.

[0083] Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiment of the present application further provides a smart glasses working method, which can be applied to the processor 210 of the first temple in the smart glasses provided in the above embodiment to control the power consumption of the smart glasses temple 100. The first temple can be any temple of the smart glasses, that is, the smart glasses working method provided by the present application can be configured on different temples of the smart glasses at the same time, or can be configured on only one of the temples, or it can be understood that any execution of the smart glasses working method provided by the embodiment of the present application can be regarded as the first temple, which is not limited here.

[0084] See also Figure 6 , Figure 6This is a flow chart of a smart glasses working method provided in one embodiment of the present application. The smart glasses working method includes:

[0085] S610: Upon receiving a first image acquisition instruction, obtain a first remaining power of a battery.

[0086] In this embodiment, the first image acquisition instruction may be a voice instruction, or an instruction issued by the main device when the temple of the smart glasses is in communication with the main device, or other preset trigger conditions, and the first image acquisition instruction is generated when the trigger conditions are met, which is not limited here.

[0087] In this embodiment, the first remaining power may be a ratio of the remaining power of the battery to the total power of the battery, or may be the remaining power of the battery, without limitation.

[0088] S620: Compare the first remaining power with a first preset threshold.

[0089] In this embodiment, the first preset threshold is used to indicate whether the power is sufficient. The first preset threshold can be configured according to the battery capacity. For example, when the first remaining power is the ratio of the remaining power of the battery to the total power of the battery, the first preset threshold can be 30%, 40%, 50%, etc. If the first remaining power is the remaining power of the battery, the first preset threshold can be calculated based on the maximum power of the battery and the above ratio, which will not be expanded here.

[0090] S630: If the first remaining power is less than the first preset threshold, a second image acquisition instruction is sent to the second temple to instruct the second temple to perform image acquisition.

[0091] If the first remaining power is less than the first preset threshold, indicating that the power of the first temple is low, at this time, a second image acquisition instruction is sent to the second temple to instruct the second temple to perform image acquisition, thereby reducing the power consumption caused by image acquisition, thereby balancing the working time and power consumption between the first temple and the second temple, making the power of the two as balanced as possible, and improving the overall battery life of the smart glasses.

[0092] As mentioned above, the first temple and the second temple in the smart glasses may both execute the smart glasses working method provided by the present application. Accordingly, if both temples execute the method, when the power levels of both temples are low (such as lower than the first preset threshold), the first temple may also receive the second image acquisition instruction sent by the other temple. Therefore, in one embodiment, the smart glasses working method may also include: upon receiving the second image acquisition instruction sent by the second temple, obtaining the second remaining power of the second temple; comparing the second remaining power with the first remaining power; if the first remaining power is greater than the second remaining power, starting the camera to perform image acquisition; if the first remaining power is less than the second remaining power, sending a third image acquisition instruction to the second temple to instruct the second temple to perform data acquisition.

[0093] The first temple is connected to the second temple by wireless communication, and the first temple can obtain the second remaining power of the second temple through wireless communication.

[0094] In this embodiment, if both the first temple and the second temple have low battery levels, the two temples can compare their remaining battery levels, and the one with higher remaining battery level can perform the image acquisition task. In this way, the battery levels of the two temples can be balanced, thereby improving the overall battery life of the smart glasses.

[0095] In an embodiment of the present application, the first temple is communicatively connected to the main device. During the image acquisition process, the first temple continuously transmits the acquired image data to the main device. The transmission of the image data may generate relatively large power consumption.

[0096] In one embodiment, the smart glasses working method may further include: obtaining a first remaining power; when the first remaining power is less than a second preset threshold, stopping transmitting the image data to the main device and storing the image data in a storage module.

[0097] In this embodiment, when the power is too low, the first temple can stop transmitting the image data to reduce the power consumption caused by the transmission. At the same time, the image data is stored in the storage module to be resent when the power is sufficient later, thereby reducing the possibility of data loss.

[0098] Smart glasses can identify whether the wearer is speaking, so as to improve the accuracy of turning on and off functions such as voice assistant function and voice noise reduction. In one embodiment of the present application, the first temple includes a first microphone and a second microphone, and the smart glasses working method may also include: obtaining a first audio signal collected by the first microphone and a second audio signal collected by the second microphone; and judging whether the wearer of the smart glasses is speaking based on the first audio signal and the second audio signal.

[0099] The first audio signal and the second audio signal are a pair of differential audio signals. The difference between the two can be used to determine the direction of the sound source, and then determine whether the wearer is speaking.

[0100] In one embodiment, determining whether the wearer of the smart glasses is speaking based on the first audio signal and the second audio signal may include: calculating one of the amplitude difference, power difference or phase difference between the first audio signal and the second audio signal; and determining that the wearer of the smart glasses is speaking when any one of the following conditions is met: the amplitude difference is greater than a preset amplitude difference threshold, the power difference is greater than a preset power difference threshold, and the phase difference is greater than a phase difference threshold.

[0101] Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the present application also provides a readable storage medium, in which instructions are stored. The instructions can be executed by one or more processors to implement the smart glasses working method provided in the above embodiment.

[0102] The readable storage medium may be any available medium that can be accessed by the processor or a data storage device that includes one or more available media. The available medium may be a magnetic medium (e.g., a floppy disk, a hard disk, a magnetic tape), an optical medium (e.g., a DVD (digital video disc)), or a semiconductor medium (e.g., an SSD (Solid State Disk)).

[0103] If the method is implemented in the form of a software function module and sold or used as an independent product, it can be stored in a computer-readable storage medium. Based on this understanding, the technical solution of the present application, or the part that contributes to the prior art or the part of the technical solution, can be embodied in the form of a software product, which is stored in a storage medium and includes several instructions for a computer device (which can be a personal computer, a server, or a network device, etc.) to perform all or part of the steps of the method described in each embodiment of the present application.
