The physical sand table 1 is connected to the electronic sand table terminal 3 in a wired or wireless manner so that the physical sand table 1 and the electronic sand table terminal 3 can interact and respond in a linked manner.

[0021] Specifically, the physical sand table and the electronic sand table are two different technical means. To realize the interactive sand table of the two, the core is to set up an audio-visual control module 2 in the physical sand table 1, and add an electronic sand table drive module 5 in the electronic sand table. Through wired or wireless communication methods, laser, voice, operating software and other control methods are used to realize the regional interaction between the physical sand table and the electronic sand table.

[0022] The interactive sand table system of the embodiment of the present disclosure mainly includes two parts: a hardware system and a software system. The hardware system may include: a physical sand table 1, an electronic sand table terminal 3, a microphone 6, a wireless receiving radio 7, a laser pen 8 and a display screen 9, and the software system may include an acoustic and photoelectric control module 2, an electronic sand table software 4 and an electronic sand table driver module 5. The electronic sand table software 4 and the electronic sand table driver module 5 are installed and set to the electronic sand table terminal 3, and the acoustic and photoelectric control module 2 is set to the physical sand table 1, and the linkage interactive response of the physical sand table and the electronic sand table is realized by wired and wireless methods.

An interactive sand table system provided by the present disclosure can be applied to various scenarios such as teaching products and real estate developers' real estate display.

[0023] Exemplarily, the interactive sandbox system further includes a wireless receiving station 7. The wireless receiving station 7 is electrically connected to the electronic sandbox terminal 3 and the microphone 6, respectively, for receiving voice commands from the microphone 6 and sending the voice commands to the electronic sandbox terminal 3. The microphone 6 and the wireless receiving station 7 can communicate wirelessly, and the wireless receiving station 7 can be connected to the electronic sandbox terminal 3 by a wired connection such as a USB interface. The microphone 6 collects the user's voice command information and transmits it to the electronic sandbox terminal 3 through the wireless receiving station 7.

[0024] Exemplarily, the interactive sand table system further includes a laser pen 8, and the acoustic-optical control module 2 includes a regional positioning unit 21. The regional positioning unit 21 is used to identify the irradiation position of the laser pen 8 on the surface of the physical sand table. The regional positioning unit 21 can use a plurality of laser receiving sensors distributed in various areas of the physical sand table 1 to receive the irradiation of the laser pen 8 and thus identify the irradiation position of the laser pen 8.

[0025] Exemplarily, the sound and light control module 2 also includes a light control unit 22, and the light control unit 22 is electrically connected to the electronic sand table drive module 5. The interactive sand table system also includes a programmable LED array, which is arranged on the physical sand table 1 and is electrically connected to the light control unit 22. The light control unit 22 is used to change the light color and brightness of the programmable LED array in the specified area according to the instruction of the electronic sand table drive module 5. After the user issues a control command on the electronic sand table terminal 3, the electronic sand table drive module 5 sends the control command to the light control unit 22 in the sound and light control module 2, and the light control unit 22 controls the programmable LED array to produce a light changing effect at the corresponding control position on the physical sand table 1, including light color and brightness. At the same time, the light control unit 22 can also be linked with the area positioning unit 21 and the laser pen 8 to change the LED array light of the corresponding area on the physical sand table 1 illuminated by the laser pen 8.

[0026] Exemplarily, the electronic sand table driving module 5 includes a coordinate conversion unit 51, and the coordinate conversion unit 51 is used to establish a mapping relationship between the physical coordinates of the physical sand table and the digital coordinates of the electronic sand table. After the electronic sand table terminal 3 issues a control command to the electronic sand table, the corresponding coordinates of the interactive area in the electronic sand table will be converted by the coordinate conversion unit 51 into the physical coordinates of the physical sand table 1, so that the control command for the electronic sand table can be converted into the control command for the physical sand table 1, forming a linkage between the physical sand table and the electronic sand table.

[0027] Exemplarily, the electronic sand table driving module 5 includes a voice recognition unit 52, which is used to parse the voice instructions collected by the microphone 6 and generate corresponding sand table control commands. The sand table control commands may include scale adjustment, perspective switching, and area marking. The voice recognition unit 52 parses the user's voice instructions collected by the microphone 6 and converts them into control commands for the electronic sand table or the physical sand table 1, and inputs them into the electronic sand table driving module 5 to control the scale adjustment, perspective switching, and area marking of the electronic sand table, and can control the physical sand table 1 in a linked manner.

The user can issue control commands to the electronic sand table through the operation interface of the electronic sand table software 4 displayed on the electronic sand table terminal 3 such as a handheld mobile terminal, a portable computer, and a desktop computer, and realize linkage with the physical sand table 1.

[0029] Exemplarily, the interactive sand table system further includes a display screen 9 for simultaneously displaying the interface of the electronic sand table software 4 and the real-time monitoring screen of the physical sand table 1. The display screen 9 that can simultaneously display the electronic sand table and the physical sand table for comparison is set on-site or remotely, so that on-site and remote personnel can view the two sand tables more clearly, and the operator can monitor the current status of the two sand tables more intuitively.

[0030] Exemplarily, an adjustable bracket is provided at the bottom of the physical sand table 1, and the adjustable bracket includes a horizontal adjustment mechanism and a height adjustment mechanism. The adjustable bracket can automatically or manually adjust the posture of the physical sand table 1 in the horizontal and vertical directions, which helps observers to use the physical sand table 1 more conveniently.
