Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of human-computer interaction, and in particular to a method and system for controlling mobile phone calls based on watch and wrist motion sensing. Background Art

[0002] With the increasing popularity of smart phones and smart wearable devices, people often face many inconveniences when using mobile phones for daily calls. For example, when both hands are busy, such as carrying heavy objects, driving a vehicle, or exercising, it is extremely inconvenient to manually operate the phone to answer, hang up, or adjust the call volume, and it may even cause danger; although traditional Bluetooth headsets can free your hands to a certain extent, you still need to press the headset buttons, which requires high operation accuracy, and frequent pressing also affects the user experience. In addition, as a popular wearable device, most smart watches only realize simple information push and exercise monitoring functions, and are not sufficiently linked with the mobile phone call function, and fail to fully tap the potential of convenient control of watches.

[0003] Now the watch and the mobile phone receive a call through Bluetooth connection. The user needs to click the answer button on the watch to answer the call and click the hang-up button to hang up the call. During driving, the driver's operation of mobile phones, watches and other electronic devices will bring driving safety hazards.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a novel method and system for controlling mobile phone calls based on watch and wrist motion sensing. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the problems in the background technology, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method and system for controlling mobile phone calls based on watch and wrist motion sensing. The method and system for controlling mobile phone calls based on watch and wrist motion sensing are easy to implement and convenient to use.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] A method for controlling mobile phone calls based on watch and wrist motion sensing. After the watch device is connected to the mobile phone through near-field wireless communication, the mobile phone adds a phone sensing service in the fusion sensing framework. After the phone sensing service senses that there is an incoming call on the mobile phone side, the mobile phone sends a command to turn on the gyroscope sensor to the watch device.

[0008] After the watch device receives the command from the mobile phone, it starts the gyroscope sensor to collect the position and direction information of the watch device to identify the movement of the watch device. The watch device then performs operations corresponding to the movements according to the identified movements, including answering the call and hanging up the call.

[0009] Within the preset time t, rotating the wrist clockwise inward twice indicates answering the call, and rotating it counterclockwise outward twice indicates hanging up the call.

[0010] The preset time t is 1 to 3 seconds.

[0011] Preferably, the preset time t is 1.5 s.

[0012] The setting for wrist movements is simple and clear. For example, it is clearly stipulated that within the preset time t, two rotations in the corresponding direction correspond to different operations. The rules are clear and easy to understand. The watch device only needs to start the gyroscope sensor to collect information according to the settings and make judgments and execute according to the rules. The technical implementation logic is relatively simple, which is convenient for function development and deployment on watch devices and mobile phones, making the entire method and system based on watch and wrist motion sensing to control mobile phone calls easy to implement.

[0013] On the mobile phone side, use Renderservice to determine whether the phone is in the state of an incoming call (with incoming call number, answer, and hang up buttons).

[0014] Renderservice is a screen rendering framework of the openharmony system. Through the color blocks on the screen, it can analyze the content of the interface and determine whether there is an incoming call.

[0015] The Renderservice screen rendering framework based on the openharmony system is used to determine whether the mobile phone is in the state of receiving an incoming call. With the help of its function of judging the interface content by analyzing the screen color blocks, the incoming call situation can be known more accurately and conveniently. There is no need to develop a complex incoming call detection mechanism. The key links can be judged by using the existing mature system functions, which reduces the difficulty of implementing the entire method and system and is easy to promote and apply.

[0016] The near field wireless communication method is Bluetooth method or NFC method.

[0017] It supports near-field wireless communications such as Bluetooth and NFC, and can also use the in-vehicle communication platform to achieve communication connection between the watch and the mobile phone. This means that whether it is carried with you for daily use or in specific environments such as in a car, a communication link can be successfully established between the watch and the mobile phone, thereby ensuring the normal implementation of the call function based on wrist motion sensing, providing users with diverse and reliable usage conditions and further enhancing convenience.

[0018] The watch device communicates with the mobile phone through the vehicle communication platform. (For example, the watch device and the vehicle platform can be connected via Bluetooth, and the vehicle platform communicates with the mobile phone through another communication module (such as a second Bluetooth module or an NFC module, etc.)

[0019] A system for controlling mobile phone calls based on watch and wrist motion sensing, comprising a watch device and a mobile phone;

[0020] The aforementioned method is used to realize the operation of answering or hanging up a call by the watch device controlling the mobile phone.

[0021] The method and system for controlling mobile phone calls based on watch and wrist motion sensing of the present invention can answer or hang up the call by rotating the Bluetooth watch of the wrist, so that the driver can focus on the front line and ensure driving concentration.

[0022] The present invention can be used in conventional life scenarios by directly connecting watches and mobile phones through near-field wireless communication, and can also be applied to in-vehicle environments in combination with an in-vehicle communication platform. This design enables it to have good compatibility and cover different scenarios of more users, expanding its scope of use. It is also easy to further expand its functions according to the needs of different scenarios in the future, such as adding more call-related operations based on wrist movements (such as adjusting the volume, switching to hands-free, etc.), laying the foundation for the continuous upgrading and improvement of functions.

[0023] The present invention has the following characteristics:

[0024] Improved convenience: Users do not need to manually operate the phone screen to answer or hang up the phone. They can perform the corresponding operations through natural wrist movements. For example, when both hands are busy (such as carrying things, operating other items, etc.) or it is inconvenient to take out the phone (such as when exercising or when the pocket is deep and it is inconvenient to take out the phone), the call can be handled very conveniently, which greatly improves the convenience of using the mobile phone call function.

[0025] Enhanced user experience: This novel control method is in line with ergonomics and people's daily natural movement habits, bringing users a technological and comfortable interactive experience, allowing users to feel the intelligence and convenience of collaborative work between smart devices, and improving their favorability towards the product (the overall combination of watch and mobile phone).

[0026] Applicability in multiple scenarios: Whether in different scenarios such as indoors, walking outdoors, or riding in a car, as long as the watch is connected to the phone, this function can be used to control calls, and it has a wide range of applications. It also supports near-field wireless communication methods such as Bluetooth and NFC, and can be connected through the vehicle communication platform, ensuring the stability and feasibility of communication connections in a variety of environments, further expanding the application scenarios.

[0027] Personalized interaction: Based on preset wrist movements to correspond to different operations, users can quickly master them through certain practices, forming a personalized and exclusive way of interacting with mobile phone calls, which is different from the traditional single touch screen operation mode.

[0032] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0033] Embodiment 1

[0034] like Figure 1-4 , a method and system for controlling mobile phone calls based on watch and wrist motion sensing, comprising the following steps:

[0035] 1. Pairing

[0036] Bluetooth pairing via the device's own Bluetooth;

[0037] 2. Determine the incoming call interface

[0038] The mobile phone adds a phone perception service to the fusion perception framework and builds a condition into the phone perception service. When all the conditions are met, the mobile phone sends a command to the watch device to turn on the gyroscope sensor.

[0039] Built-in conditions: Use Renderservice to determine whether there is an incoming call (with incoming call number, answer and hang up buttons);

[0040] 3. Watch rotation

[0041] The watch receives the command from the phone and activates the gyroscope sensor to collect the position and direction information of the watch. Based on the angular velocity data during clockwise and counterclockwise rotation, it determines whether the user needs to answer or hang up (within 1.5 seconds, rotating the wrist clockwise inward twice indicates answering, and rotating counterclockwise outward twice indicates hanging up);

[0042] 4. Answer and hang up

[0043] Send answer and hang up commands to the mobile phone.

[0044] Taking advantage of the fact that people wear watches every day and have flexible and diverse wrist movements, users can answer and hang up calls simply by rotating their wrists a certain number of times clockwise or counterclockwise, without having to touch the phone screen or buttons manually. This greatly improves the convenience of operating mobile phone calls in various scenarios. For example, when users are holding things in both hands, exercising, or driving, and it is inconvenient to free their hands to operate the phone, they can easily respond to incoming calls by simply relying on wrist movements, making call operations easy.

[0045] The method and system for controlling mobile phone calls based on watch and wrist motion sensing of the present invention show advantages in many aspects such as convenience of operation, ease of implementation and compatibility of application scenarios, and can effectively bring users a more convenient and efficient mobile phone call control experience.

[0046] Embodiment 2

[0047] Scenario description: The user goes out for a run in the morning, puts the phone in the arm bag, and wears the watch on the wrist normally, and connects to the phone via Bluetooth. At this time, a call comes in, and the phone perception service in the fusion perception framework of the phone detects the incoming call and sends a command to the watch to turn on the gyroscope sensor.

[0048] Operation process: The watch receives the command to activate the sensor. The user rotates the wrist clockwise inward twice within the preset 1.5 seconds. After the watch recognizes the action, it sends an answering call instruction to the mobile phone, and the mobile phone automatically answers the call. The user can talk through Bluetooth headsets and other devices while running. To end the call, the user rotates the wrist counterclockwise outward twice within 1.5 seconds. After the watch recognizes the action, it sends a hang-up call instruction to the mobile phone to complete the call hang-up operation.

[0049] Embodiment 3

[0050] Scenario description: When a user is driving, the phone is placed on a bracket in the car or in a pocket. The watch establishes a communication connection with the phone through the in-car communication platform. When there is an incoming call, the phone's call sensing service is triggered and the command is transmitted to the watch.

[0051] Operation process: The watch turns on the gyroscope sensor to collect information. If the user wants to answer the call, rotate the wrist clockwise inward twice within 2 seconds (within the preset time range of 1-3 seconds). The watch will send the answering command to the mobile phone and the call will be established. If you do not want to answer the call and want to hang up, rotate the wrist counterclockwise outward twice within the corresponding time to hang up the call. During the whole process, the user does not need to be distracted to operate the mobile phone, which ensures the safety of driving and the convenience of call operation.

[0052] Embodiment 4

[0053] Scenario description: The user is working in the office, sorting documents with both hands, with the phone on the table and the watch on the wrist connected to the phone via Bluetooth. At this time, there is an incoming call, the phone detects it and sends a command to the watch.

[0054] Operation process: After the watch activates the sensor, the user rotates the wrist clockwise twice within 1.2s according to the set action (in accordance with the preset time and action requirements). The watch sends an answering command, and the user can make a call through the headset or the hands-free function of the mobile phone. When the call ends, the user also hangs up the phone by rotating the wrist counterclockwise. There is no need to put down the work in hand to operate the mobile phone screen, which improves work efficiency while not delaying answering important calls.
