[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a multi-sensor trajectory fusion control method based on UWB technology:

[0035] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of the first embodiment of the present invention; DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] A multi-sensor trajectory fusion control method based on UWB technology, see Figure 1 , including the following steps:

[0039] S1: The remote control has a built-in UWB module, which uses UWB technology to calculate the relative position of the remote control and the controlled appliance, and obtain the remote control's position in space;

[0040] The remote control transmits signals through UWB technology, and the smart TV receives and analyzes these signals to monitor the position, speed and trajectory of the remote control in real time.

[0041] Through the high-precision positioning technology of UWB signals, the spatial position changes of the remote control can be accurately captured, ensuring the accuracy and response speed of gesture drawing.

[0042] The relative position of the remote control and the controlled appliance is calculated using UWB technology, specifically:

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, S11: after collecting the UWB signal, processing the signal to improve positioning accuracy and low-latency response;

[0044] The signal processing includes a noise filtering algorithm.

[0045] Exemplarily, the noise filtering algorithm includes the following steps:

[0046] 1. Multipath Interference Signal Identification: Based on the arrival time characteristics of the UWB signal, the system pre-segments the received waveform using a time-domain extended window function to perform a preliminary classification of the main signal and multipath reflection signals. Reflection paths are eliminated using a signal strength difference threshold method.

[0047] 2. Adaptive environmental noise modeling: After the system is started, a 30-second static environment sample is collected, a background noise model is constructed based on the Gaussian mixture model (GMM), and abnormal signal detection is performed using KL divergence.

[0048] 3. Direction coupling correction: The attitude vector is calculated based on the gyroscope angular velocity output, and cosine similarity correction is performed with the UWB ranging direction to achieve attitude error compensation.

[0049] 4. Self-learning weighted filtering processing: Utilizes a neural weighted filtering algorithm to dynamically adjust signal point weights. Inputs include signal strength, position increment, posture change, and confidence score to achieve dynamic filtering optimization.

[0050] 5. Curve reconstruction and trajectory smoothing: Use high-order B-spline curves to fit the filtered point sequence, retaining velocity direction inflection points and graphic sharp points, improving the smoothness and expressiveness of gesture recognition.

[0051] S2: The user draws a graphic gesture in the air using the remote control, and the controlled electrical system captures and records the trajectory of the gesture;

[0052] It should be noted that the number of the controlled electrical systems can be one or more than two.

[0053] For example, the remote control not only controls the smart TV, but also other smart home devices (such as air conditioners, speakers, lights, etc.) through gestures. For example, when the user draws a "V" gesture, the remote control will adjust the TV volume and the air conditioner temperature simultaneously.

[0054] In a preferred embodiment, the step S2 specifically includes the following steps:

[0055] S21: The user inputs a gesture control activation signal, wherein the gesture control activation signal includes a set trajectory, a voice signal, and a remote control designated signal;

[0056] S22: After the gesture control activation signal is recognized, the user draws a graphic gesture in the air using the remote control, and the controlled electrical system captures and records the trajectory of the gesture;

[0057] Because users also use and move the remote control in daily life, in order to avoid misoperation caused by misrecognition of non-gesture control operations, a step of inputting a gesture control activation signal is added before inputting gesture control operations to reduce the possibility of misoperation.

[0058] S3: The remote controller is equipped with a position sensor to synchronously collect trajectory data, and the collected trajectory data is integrated with the trajectory recorded by the controlled electrical system;

[0059] Exemplarily, the data fusion of the collected trajectory data and the recorded trajectory of the controlled electrical system includes the following steps:

[0060] 1. Timing synchronization and frame loss compensation: The system time synchronization is used to control the error within 5ms. If there is data loss, a second-order prediction function is used to compensate based on the IMU historical data.

[0061] 2. Coordinate system normalization conversion: Use the quaternion attitude solution algorithm to map the IMU local coordinates to the UWB global space to unify the three-dimensional coordinate system.

[0062] 3. Multi-source dynamic weighted fusion: Dynamic fusion weights are calculated based on sensor stability, drift rate, user motion pattern, and environmental recognition results, and extended Kalman filtering is used to achieve spatiotemporal position fusion.

[0063] 4. Trajectory anomaly detection and dynamic optimization: Detect sudden changes in trajectory direction and speed anomalies, and smooth out abnormal sections through Hermite interpolation to ensure trajectory continuity.

[0064] 5. Semantic layer trajectory mapping optimization: Extract features such as strokes and closure from the fused trajectory, segment and label it as input for deep learning, and improve the accuracy of subsequent gesture recognition.

[0065] Exemplarily, the position sensor may be a single accelerometer, a gyroscope, a magnetometer, or a combination of the above sensors, which can accurately identify the gesture path drawn by the user in the air.

[0066] In this embodiment, the position sensor is a gyroscope. The remote control uses UWB technology to obtain the spatial position of the user's gestures in real time. It also combines data from the accelerometer and gyroscope to accurately track the speed and direction of the gestures. If the UWB positioning signal is affected by interference or multipath, the system automatically corrects the positioning error based on signals from other sensors, ensuring high-precision gesture recognition.

[0067] S4: The controlled electrical appliance determines the type of gesture based on the drawn gesture graphic through a graphic recognition algorithm;

[0068] In a preferred embodiment, the S4 is specifically:

[0069] The controlled appliance recognizes dynamic gestures in real time based on the drawn gesture graphics and combines them with a deep learning model, and determines the type of gesture through a graphic recognition algorithm.

[0070] The types of gestures dynamically recognized according to the gesture graph include single gesture types and multiple gesture types.

[0071] For example, the gesture graphic may be a preset standard one-stroke graphic or subtitle (such as a circle, a triangle, a Z, etc.), or may be a freely drawn one-stroke graphic customized by the user.

[0072] S5: The controlled electrical appliance triggers a controlled electrical appliance function or application corresponding to the gesture according to the judgment result.

[0073] It should be noted that the system has preset mappings between different graphics and TV functions. For example, drawing a circle will launch an application, drawing a triangle will launch the App Store, and drawing the letter J will mute the TV.

[0074] Users can also customize the correspondence between graphics and functions through the settings menu to suit their personal habits.

[0075] In a preferred embodiment, the step S5 specifically includes the following steps:

[0076] S51: The controlled appliance executes the TV function or application corresponding to the gesture graphic based on the judgment result, and provides a successful execution feedback if the judgment result is that the gesture graphic is executable;

[0077] S52: If the judgment result is that the gesture graphic cannot be executed, the TV function or application is not executed, and only an execution failure feedback is given.

[0078] The execution success feedback and execution failure feedback may be different prompt sounds, light signals, vibration signals, or a combination of the above signals.

[0079] It should be noted that the customer's daily operations, such as picking up, or simple trajectory movement within a certain range, should be identified as the customer's normal movement, and there is no need to give execution failure feedback.

[0080] However, when the customer has performed an uncommon daily action and the image recognized by the action cannot correspond to the TV function or application, an execution failure feedback is given.

[0081] After executing S5, perform the following steps:

[0082] S6: The controlled appliance records the user's gesture graphics and operation results, automatically analyzes the user's gesture operation history through a deep learning algorithm, and optimizes the mapping relationship between the gesture and the controlled appliance function in real time.

[0083] S7: Identify whether there is a withdrawal step;

[0084] S71: The user inputs a withdrawal control signal, wherein the gesture control activation signal includes a set track, a voice signal, and a remote control designated signal;

[0085] S72: After the withdrawal control signal is recognized, the controlled electrical appliance function or application triggered by the previous graphic gesture is returned to a state where the graphic gesture is not executed.
