[0002] Deaf-mute individuals face numerous communication barriers in their daily lives, especially in emergencies (such as sudden illness or threats to personal safety). They struggle to accurately express their needs and obtain assistance through language. Existing communication assistance devices, such as simple graphic communication boards and mobile translation software, are cumbersome to operate and slow to respond in emergencies, making them unable to quickly provide assistance. Furthermore, some gesture recognition devices have low accuracy for complex gestures and lack real-time interaction with the outside world or emergency rescue linkage capabilities.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device that can quickly identify the emergency help gestures of the deaf and mute people, and promptly translate and transmit the gesture information to external rescue personnel to ensure the life safety and communication needs of the deaf and mute group. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a hand ring for deaf-mute people to recognize and translate emergency help gestures in order to solve the above-mentioned problem of deaf-mute people seeking emergency help.

The gesture recognition module includes multiple micro cameras and inertial sensors. A deep learning neural network model is placed inside the central processing module, and the translation module is used to convert gesture information into text and voice. The bracelet body includes a display screen assembly and two belts. The surface of one belt is provided with multiple buckles, and one end of the belt is provided with a clamp.

[0006] According to the above technical solution, the wristband body is made of a light and flexible material, and the surface of the wristband body is provided with operation buttons and a waterproof and breathable structure.

[0007] According to the above technical solution, the multiple micro cameras are distributed at different positions of the bracelet body to capture gestures in all directions.

[0008] According to the above technical solution, the inertial sensor is used to detect dynamic data such as acceleration and angular velocity of gesture motion.

[0009] According to the above technical solution, the central processing module trains a deep learning neural network model based on a large amount of hand gesture data commonly used by deaf-mute people.

[0010] According to the above technical solution, the translation module pre-stores a sign language-text and sign language-speech translation database.

[0011] According to the above technical solution, the communication module supports 4G / 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and satellite communications, and can automatically switch according to the network environment.

[0012] According to the above technical solution, the alarm module includes an audible and visual alarm and a vibration motor, the display module adopts a flexible OLED display screen, the power module adopts a high-capacity rechargeable lithium battery and supports wireless charging, and a power shell is provided on the surface of the power module corresponding to the display screen assembly.

[0013] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0014] 1. By fusing gesture image information collected by multiple micro cameras with dynamic data obtained by inertial sensors and using a deep learning neural network model for analysis and processing, the accuracy and speed of gesture recognition are significantly improved, especially for the recognition of complex emergency gestures. It can quickly and accurately capture the help-seeking intentions of deaf-mute people.

[0015] 2. The communication module supports multiple communication methods and can automatically and intelligently switch according to the network environment to ensure the reliable transmission of emergency information. At the same time, the bracelet establishes a linkage mechanism with the preset emergency contacts and rescue platform. When the emergency alarm is triggered, it not only sends the translated gesture information, but also simultaneously transmits the user's location information, enabling rapid response and rescue.

[0032] The implementation principle of the embodiment of the deaf-mute emergency help gesture recognition and remote translation wristband of the present invention is as follows:

[0033] In actual use, the user wears the bracelet on their wrist. When a user makes a pre-set emergency help gesture in an emergency, multiple micro-cameras on the bracelet capture gesture images from different angles, and inertial sensors detect dynamic data of the gesture movement. This information is transmitted in real time to the central processing module. The central processing module uses a built-in deep learning neural network model to analyze and process the collected information, quickly identifying the gesture type. If it is an emergency help gesture, the central processing module immediately triggers the alarm module, emitting an audible and visual alarm signal and activating a vibration motor to attract the attention of nearby personnel. Simultaneously, the central processing module transmits the gesture information to the translation module, which converts the gesture information into text and speech based on a pre-stored translation database. The translated text is clearly displayed on the display module, and the voice information is automatically transmitted to the pre-set emergency contact or rescue platform through the communication module, automatically selecting the appropriate communication method based on the current network environment, such as 4G / 5G, Wi-Fi, or satellite communication. Rescuers can use this information to promptly understand the user's needs and implement rescue operations.
