Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic device technology, and in particular to an interactive device and interactive system. Background Technology
[0002] Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR) technologies are emerging multimedia technologies that have been applied in recent years, with applications in games, education, film, military, and medicine, among many others. Smart glasses are glasses that incorporate electronic modules; for example, VR, AR, and MR modules can be integrated into smart glasses, enabling them to provide users with a wealth of functions. Currently, smart glasses technology is developing rapidly. However, because the form factor of smart glasses differs significantly from that of conventional products like mobile phones, it is difficult for smart glasses to adopt the same interaction methods as mature products like mobile phones. Therefore, designing a natural, efficient, and diverse user interaction method has become an important development direction for smart glasses.
[0003] In existing technologies, smart glasses primarily rely on external devices such as controllers, mobile phones, and video boxes for interaction. Users interact with the smart glasses by operating buttons, joysticks, touchscreens, and other components on these external devices. In scenarios requiring frequent user interaction, such as gaming, office work, and web browsing, the operations involve numerous functions, such as selecting a target, confirming, returning, dragging, and opening menus. Using controllers and other interaction devices effectively fulfills these interaction needs with the smart glasses.
[0004] However, in low-interaction scenarios such as watching movies and meditation, user operations are minimal and involve fewer functions. Users in these scenarios prioritize immersion and require minimal operational complexity. Even simple adjustments (such as volume or brightness) in low-interaction scenarios necessitate finding and using external devices like gamepads, significantly diminishing the user's immersion. Furthermore, gamepads and similar external devices are typically bulky and irregularly shaped, making them inconvenient to carry and store.
[0005] It is evident that the interactive devices used in existing smart glasses are highly complex to use in weak interaction scenarios, which greatly reduces the user's immersion; moreover, they are large in size, irregular in shape, and have poor portability and storage. Summary of the Invention
[0006] This application provides an interactive device and interactive system, which solves the problems of high complexity in the use of interactive devices for smart glasses in weak interaction scenarios, which greatly weakens the user's immersion; and large size, irregular shape, poor portability and storage.
[0007] This application provides an interactive device having an electronic unit and configured as a finger-type wearable structure, including at least one functional module. The electronic unit includes at least one sub-electronic unit that corresponds one-to-one with the at least one functional module. Each of the at least one functional module includes a housing and a corresponding sub-electronic unit disposed in the housing. The at least one sub-electronic unit is used for communicative connection with the electronic unit of smart glasses.
[0008] Furthermore, the interaction device can be selectively fixed to or detached from the smart glasses. When the interaction device is detached from the smart glasses, it can perform a first function interaction with the smart glasses through at least one functional module. When the interaction device is fixed to the smart glasses, it can perform a second function interaction with the smart glasses through at least one functional module.
[0009] The interactive device in this application is configured as a finger-worn structure, which can be selectively fixed or detached from smart glasses. When detached from the smart glasses, the interactive device can be worn on the user's finger to interact with the smart glasses for primary functions (e.g., volume adjustment, brightness adjustment, and target selection via inertial measurement), meeting the interaction needs of high-interaction scenarios requiring frequent operations (e.g., gaming, office work, web browsing). When fixed to the smart glasses, the user can directly interact with the smart glasses for secondary functions (e.g., volume and brightness adjustment; or, as can be understood, the secondary functions only include a portion of the primary functions), meeting the interaction needs of low-interaction scenarios requiring only simple adjustments (e.g., watching movies, meditation). In low-interaction scenarios, users no longer need to search for and pick up the interactive device to interact with the smart glasses, reducing the complexity of using the interactive device and thus greatly enhancing the user's immersion. Furthermore, compared to external devices such as handles in existing technologies, the finger-type wearable structure interactive device is smaller in size, has a more regular shape, and can be directly fixed to smart glasses, eliminating the need for additional storage space for the interactive device and greatly improving its portability and storage.
[0010] Therefore, the interactive device for a finger-type wearable structure used in communication with smart glasses, provided in this application embodiment, can meet the interaction needs of high-interaction scenarios requiring frequent operations when detached from the smart glasses; and can meet the interaction needs of low-interaction scenarios requiring only simple adjustments when fixed to the smart glasses. While meeting the interaction needs of high-interaction scenarios, it reduces the complexity of using the interactive device in low-interaction scenarios, improving the user's immersion in these scenarios. Furthermore, the interactive device is small in size and has a regular shape, allowing it to be directly fixed to the smart glasses, greatly improving its portability and storage. This solves the problems in the prior art where the interactive device for smart glasses has high complexity in low-interaction scenarios, significantly weakening the user's immersion; and is also large in size, irregular in shape, and has poor portability and storage.
[0011] In some embodiments, the interactive device is configured to switch between a first state and a second state. When the interactive device is in the first state, it is ring-shaped and detachable from the smart glasses. When the interactive device is in the second state, it is strip-shaped and fixed to the smart glasses.
[0012] This design allows the interactive device to switch between a ring shape and a strip shape. When the interactive device is detached from the smart glasses and is ring-shaped, it fits the shape of the user's finger, making it convenient for the user to wear on their finger and interact with the smart glasses, thus improving the ease of operation. When the interactive device is fixed to the smart glasses and is strip-shaped, it occupies less external space compared to the ring-shaped interactive device, making it easier to store on the smart glasses and improving its portability and storage. Furthermore, the strip-shaped interactive device has a better overlap effect when fixed to the smart glasses, improving the device's concealment and thus enhancing the appearance of the smart glasses with the interactive device fixed to them.
[0013] In some embodiments, the interactive device further includes a first connector and an opening / closing structure.
[0014] The first connector includes a first connecting segment and a second connecting segment. One end of the first connecting segment along its extension direction is rotatably connected to a first end of at least one functional module, and one end of the second connecting segment along its extension direction is rotatably connected to a second end of at least one functional module. The opening and closing structure includes an opening and closing part and a part that is opened and closed. One of the opening and closing part and the part that is opened and closed is disposed at the other end of the first connecting segment along its extension direction, and the other is disposed at the other end of the second connecting segment along its extension direction.
[0015] When the interactive device is in the first state, the opening and closing part and the part to be opened and closed are locked together, so that the other end of the first connecting segment is fixedly connected to the other end of the second connecting segment. When the opening and closing part and the part to be opened and closed are unlocked and separated, the first connecting segment and the second connecting segment can rotate relative to the functional module in opposite directions, so that the interactive device switches from the first state to the second state.
[0016] Using the above scheme, the opening and closing structure is disposed in the first connector of the interactive device. When the interactive device is in the first state, the opening and closing structure is locked, allowing the interactive device to maintain its ring shape and preventing it from easily slipping off when worn on a user's finger. When the opening and closing structure is unlocked and separated, the first and second connecting segments of the first connector can rotate relative to at least one functional module, thereby allowing the interactive device to switch from a ring shape to a strip shape, and then back again. This enables rapid switching between the first and second states of the interactive device, improving the convenience of user operation.
[0017] In some embodiments, the interactive device further includes a first connector and an opening / closing structure.
[0018] The first connector is rotatably connected at one end of its extension direction to one of the first and second ends of at least one functional module. The opening and closing structure includes an opening and closing part and an opening and closing part, one of which is disposed at the other end of the first connector along its extension direction, and the other is disposed at the other end of the first and second ends of at least one functional module.
[0019] When the interactive device is in the first state, the opening and closing parts are locked together, so that the other end of the first connector is fixedly connected to the other end of the first and second ends of at least one functional module. When the opening and closing parts are unlocked and separated from the opened and closed parts, the first connector can rotate relative to the functional module, so that the interactive device switches from the first state to the second state.
[0020] Using the above scheme, the opening and closing structure is located at the junction of at least one functional module and the first connector. When the interactive device is in the first state, the opening and closing structure is locked, allowing the interactive device to maintain its ring shape and preventing it from easily slipping off when worn on a user's finger. When the opening and closing structure is unlocked and separated, the first connector can rotate relative to the functional module, thereby allowing the interactive device to switch from a ring shape to a strip shape, and then back again. This enables rapid switching between the first and second states of the interactive device, improving the convenience of user operation.
[0021] In some embodiments, the opening and closing portion is configured as a first magnetic attracting member, and the opening and closing portion is configured as a first magnetically attracted member. The first magnetic attracting member can be engaged and locked or unlocked and separated from the first magnetically attracted member. Alternatively, the opening and closing portion is configured as a snap-fit portion, and the opening and closing portion is configured as a snap-fit portion. The snap-fit portion can be engaged and locked or unlocked and separated from the snap-fit portion.
[0022] With this design, the opening and closing structure switches between locked and unlocked states via magnetic attraction or snap-fit. The locking and unlocking mechanism is simple and easy to operate.
[0023] In some embodiments, the first connector adopts a strip structure; wherein the material of the first connector is a flexible material or an elastic material; or, the first connector includes a plurality of sub-connectors arranged in sequence, wherein any adjacent sub-connectors are rotatably connected, and the material of each sub-connector is a rigid material.
[0024] With this design, the shape of the first connector can change accordingly when the interactive device switches between the first and second states. Specifically, when switching from the first to the second state, the first connector can transform from an arc shape to a straight shape, reducing the external space occupied by the interactive device and allowing for a better fit and fixation with the smart glasses. This effectively improves the portability and storage of the interactive device, as well as the reliability of its connection with the smart glasses. When switching from the second to the first state, the first connector can transform from a straight shape to an arc shape. The arc-shaped first connector better conforms to the shape of the user's fingers, thereby improving the user's comfort when wearing the interactive device.
[0025] In some embodiments, at least one functional module is: a plurality of functional modules arranged sequentially along the extension direction of the interactive device.
[0026] In some embodiments, the plurality of functional modules include a button functional module and at least one touch functional module; the at least one touch functional module includes: at least one first touch functional module located at one end of the button functional module, and / or at least one second touch functional module located at the other end of the button functional module.
[0027] The above solution includes multiple functional modules, including a button module and at least one touch module, providing more diverse interaction methods and making it easier for users to distinguish the location of different functional parts.
[0028] In some embodiments, at least one first touch function module is a plurality of first touch function modules arranged sequentially along the extension direction of the interactive device, and at least one second touch function module is a plurality of second touch function modules arranged sequentially along the extension direction of the interactive device.
[0029] By adopting the above scheme, multiple first touch function modules can be set to have the same function, and multiple second touch function modules can also be set to have the same function, so that users can more easily find the function they need when operating, thereby improving the user's interactive experience.
[0030] In some embodiments, when the interactive device can switch between a first state and a second state and includes a first connector, one end of the functional module located at the beginning of the plurality of functional modules constitutes the first end of at least one functional module, and one end of the functional module located at the end of the plurality of functional modules constitutes the second end of at least one functional module, and any two adjacent functional modules among the plurality of functional modules can rotate relative to each other.
[0031] Using the above scheme, any two adjacent functional modules can rotate relative to each other, thus changing the shape of the interactive device accordingly. Specifically, when the functional modules rotate relative to each other to form a strip shape, the external space occupied by the interactive device decreases, and it can better fit and fix itself to the smart glasses, effectively improving the portability and storage of the interactive device, as well as the reliability of its connection with the smart glasses. When the functional modules rotate relative to each other to form a ring shape, the ring-shaped interactive device can better conform to the shape of the user's fingers, thereby improving the user's comfort when wearing the interactive device.
[0032] In some embodiments, any two adjacent functional modules are rotatably connected by a second connector. The second connector is made of a flexible or elastic material. Alternatively, the second connector can be configured as a hinge structure. This design simplifies the structure of the second connector and reduces manufacturing costs.
[0033] In some embodiments, when the second connector is made of a flexible material, the material of the second connector is rubber, silicone, or flexible plastic. This design uses relatively common materials for the second connector, reducing production costs.
[0034] In some embodiments, at least one sub-electronic unit includes an inertial measurement unit and a wireless communication unit. At least one sub-electronic unit of the interactive device can be communicatively connected to the electronic unit of the smart glasses through the wireless communication unit, and the inertial measurement unit is electrically connected to the wireless communication unit.
[0035] Using the above scheme, in strong interaction scenarios, the wireless communication unit communicates with the electronic unit of the smart glasses, and the inertial measurement unit (IMU) identifies the user's finger movements and collects corresponding data. The IMU transmits the collected data to the corresponding electronic unit of the smart glasses via the wireless communication unit. The electronic unit of the smart glasses processes the data and controls the corresponding part of the smart glasses to perform interactive actions corresponding to the data results. In weak interaction scenarios, the IMU stops identifying the user's finger movements, and the wireless communication unit can also stop signal transmission (it should be noted that signal transmission can also continue). The electronic unit of the interactive device can meet the communication needs with the electronic unit of the smart glasses in both strong and weak interaction scenarios, and can effectively reduce the power consumption of the interactive device in weak interaction scenarios.
[0036] In some embodiments, at least one sub-electronic unit further includes a battery and a charging control unit, the charging control unit being electrically connected to the battery. With this design, in scenarios with strong interaction, the battery powers the interactive device; in scenarios with weak interaction, the battery can be charged via smart glasses. The charging control unit of the interactive device can cut off the charging current when the battery is fully charged, protecting the battery during charging and thus improving the safety and reliability of the interactive device.
[0037] In some embodiments, the interactive device further includes a circuit board with at least one trigger electrically connected to a wireless communication unit. The housing of at least one functional module includes at least one button corresponding to the at least one trigger, the button being exposed outside the housing, and each of the at least one button being used to press the corresponding trigger. At least one sub-electronic unit further includes a touch sensor electrically connected to the wireless communication unit.
[0038] With this design, at least one functional module of the interactive device can be activated by pressing a button on a corresponding trigger, which generates a trigger signal. This signal can be transmitted to the smart glasses, enabling the smart glasses to perform corresponding interactive actions. The interaction method is simple and inexpensive to implement, thus reducing production costs.
[0039] In some embodiments, when at least one functional module includes a button functional module and at least one touch functional module, the battery, charging control unit, inertial measurement unit, at least one trigger, and wireless communication unit constitute at least a portion of the sub-electronic unit of the button functional module and are disposed in the housing of the button functional module, and the button functional module further includes at least one button. Each of the at least one touch functional module includes a touch sensor, and the touch sensor is disposed in the housing of the corresponding touch functional module.
[0040] In some embodiments, the circuit board includes a first circuit board and a second circuit board. The first circuit board is configured as an FPC board, and the second circuit board is configured as a PCB board. The first circuit board extends along the extension direction of the interactive device and passes through the housing of at least one functional module. The charging control unit, the inertial measurement unit, and the wireless communication unit are all integrated and electrically connected to the second circuit board, and the second circuit board, the battery, and the touch sensor are integrated and electrically connected to the first circuit board.
[0041] Using the above scheme, some sub-electronic units of the interactive device are integrated and electrically connected to the PCB board, and the PCB board and other sub-electronic units are integrated and electrically connected to the FPC board. The PCB board is a rigid board, which effectively improves the reliability of the electrical connection between the sub-electronic units and the PCB board. The FPC board is a flexible board capable of elastic deformation. When the interactive device switches between a first state and a second state, the FPC board extending along the extension direction of the interactive device can undergo corresponding elastic deformation without affecting the other sub-electronic units or the communication between the PCB board and the FPC board, thereby effectively improving the reliability of the electrical connection of the interactive device.
[0042] In some embodiments, the interactive device further includes an electrical connector electrically connected to at least one sub-electronic unit. When the interactive device is fixed to smart glasses, the electrical connector is electrically connected to a connected component of the smart glasses, enabling wired signal transmission between at least one sub-electronic unit of the interactive device and the electronic unit of the smart glasses, and / or, enabling the interactive device to be charged.
[0043] Using the above scheme, when the interactive device and the smart glasses are fixed, the electronic unit of the interactive device and the electronic unit of the smart glasses conduct wired signal transmission and / or charging through an electrical connection between the electrical connector and the connected component. This is beneficial for improving the stability and quality of signal transmission. Furthermore, it is beneficial for increasing the charging speed at rated power.
[0044] In some embodiments, a portion of the functions of the first function are the same as those of the second function.
[0045] In some embodiments, a portion of the functions of the first function includes some or all of the functions of confirmation, return, cancellation, volume adjustment, and brightness adjustment, and another portion of the functions of the first function includes target selection by inertial measurement.
[0046] Using the above scheme, when the interactive device is in its first state, the first function can meet the interaction needs of highly interactive scenarios requiring frequent operations, such as gaming, office work, and web browsing. When the interactive device is in its second state, some functions of the first function are disabled, leaving only the second function. The second function can meet the interaction needs of weakly interactive scenarios requiring only simple adjustments, such as watching movies and meditation. The disabled functions in the first function include inertial measurement. When the interactive device is in its second state, users control the cursor through head-tracking and gestures on their smart glasses. This simplifies operation in weakly interactive scenarios and enhances user immersion.
[0047] This application also provides an interactive system, including smart glasses and the interactive device provided in any of the above embodiments. The smart glasses include a frame and an electronic unit disposed on the frame. The electronic unit of the smart glasses is communicatively connected to at least one sub-electronic unit of the interactive device. The interactive device further includes a locking part, and the smart glasses further include a locked part. The locking part can be locked or unlocked with the locked part, so that the interactive device can be selectively fixed or separated from the smart glasses.
[0048] The interactive system of this application, employing the interactive device provided in any of the above embodiments, can solve the problems of high complexity in the use of existing smart glasses interactive devices in weak interaction scenarios, which greatly weakens the user's immersion; and large size, irregular shape, and poor portability and storage. Furthermore, the interactive device and smart glasses in the interactive system can be selectively fixed or separated through locking or unlocking between the locking part and the locked part, improving the convenience of user operation.
[0049] In some embodiments, a locking part is disposed on the housing of at least one functional module. The frame includes temples and a frame, the temples being connected to the frame, and the locking part is disposed on the temples. When the interactive device is fixed to the smart glasses, the interactive device is fixed to the temples of the smart glasses. This design is more in line with the user's operating habits and improves the convenience of user operation.
[0050] In some embodiments, the locking part is configured as a second magnetic member, and the locked part is configured as a second magnetically attracted member. The second magnetic member can be attracted and locked or unlocked and separated from the second magnetically attracted member.
[0051] With this design, the locking part of the interactive device and the locked part of the smart glasses are locked or unlocked by magnetic attraction, thereby realizing the fixation or separation between the interactive device and the smart glasses. The structure is simple and easy to operate.
[0052] In some embodiments, a groove is provided on the outer surface of the frame, and when the interactive device is fixed to the smart glasses, the interactive device is accommodated and fixed in the groove of the smart glasses.
[0053] This design makes it easier for users to locate the fixed position between the interactive device and the smart glasses, improving the user experience. When the interactive device is positioned in the recess, it is less susceptible to loosening due to external forces. The smaller external space occupied by the interactive device in the recess makes it easier to store on the smart glasses, further enhancing its portability and storage capabilities. Furthermore, the recess provides some concealment for the interactive device, improving its discreetness and thus enhancing the overall aesthetics of the interactive system.

[0092] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this application. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this application from the content disclosed in this specification. Although the description of this application will be presented in conjunction with some embodiments, this does not mean that the features of this application are limited to this embodiment. On the contrary, the purpose of describing the application in conjunction with embodiments is to cover other options or modifications that may be derived based on the claims of this application. To provide a thorough understanding of this application, many specific details will be included in the following description. This application may also be implemented without using these details. Furthermore, to avoid confusion or obscuring the focus of this application, some specific details will be omitted in the description. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.
[0093] It should be noted that in this specification, similar reference numerals and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0094] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," "outer," "top," and "bottom," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on this application. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0095] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0096] In the description of this application, it should be understood that "electrical connection" can be understood as physical contact and electrical conduction between components; it can also be understood as the form in which different components in a circuit structure are connected through physical lines that can transmit electrical signals, such as copper foil or wires on a printed circuit board (PCB).
[0097] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the mutual perpendicularity in this application is not absolute perpendicularity. Approximate perpendicularity due to processing errors and assembly errors (e.g., the included angle between two structural features is 89.9°) is also within the scope of mutual perpendicularity in this application. Similarly, the mutual parallelism in this application is not absolute parallelism. Approximate parallelism due to processing errors and assembly errors (e.g., the included angle between two structural features is 0.1°) is also within the scope of mutual parallelism in this application. This application does not impose specific limitations in this regard.
[0098] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0099] In existing technologies, smart glasses primarily rely on external devices such as controllers, mobile phones, and video boxes for interaction. Users interact with the smart glasses by operating buttons, joysticks, touchscreens, and other components on these external devices. In scenarios requiring frequent user interaction, such as gaming, office work, and web browsing, the operations involve numerous functions, such as selecting a target, confirming, returning, dragging, and opening menus. Using controllers and other interaction devices effectively fulfills these interaction needs with the smart glasses.
[0100] However, in low-interaction scenarios such as watching movies and meditation, user operations are minimal and involve fewer functions. Users in these scenarios prioritize immersion and require minimal operational complexity. Even simple adjustments (such as volume or brightness) in low-interaction scenarios necessitate finding and using external devices like gamepads, significantly diminishing the user's immersion. Furthermore, gamepads and similar external devices are typically bulky and irregularly shaped, making them inconvenient to carry and store.
[0101] Based on this, this application provides a finger-type wearable structure interaction device for communicating with smart glasses. The interaction device can be selectively fixed or detached from the smart glasses. When the interaction device is detached from the smart glasses, it can be worn on the user's finger for interaction in strong interaction scenarios. When the interaction device is fixed to the smart glasses, the user can directly interact in weak interaction scenarios through the interaction device fixed to the smart glasses. In weak interaction scenarios, the user no longer needs to find and pick up the interaction device before interacting with the smart glasses, reducing the complexity of using the interaction device and thus greatly improving the user's immersion. Furthermore, compared with external devices such as handles in the prior art, the finger-type wearable structure interaction device is smaller, has a more regular shape, and can be directly fixed to the smart glasses, eliminating the need for additional storage space for the interaction device and greatly improving its portability and storage. This solves the problems of high complexity in weak interaction scenarios of existing smart glasses interaction devices, which greatly weakens the user's immersion; and large size, irregular shape, and poor portability and storage.
[0102] This application also provides an interactive system, which includes smart glasses and the aforementioned interactive device. The composition, functions, and application scenarios of the interactive system are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0103] Please see Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the interactive system according to an embodiment of this application; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the interactive system from another perspective in an embodiment of this application; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the exploded structure of the interactive system according to an embodiment of this application; Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the interactive device in the first state according to an embodiment of this application.
[0104] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, smart glasses 2 are the interaction object of interactive device 3 in interactive system 1. The smart glasses can be, but are not limited to, smart glasses with audio functionality, or smart glasses with display functionality such as virtual reality (VR) glasses, augmented reality (AR) glasses, and mixed reality (MR) glasses. This application embodiment will specifically describe the structure of smart glasses for smart glasses with only audio functionality and smart glasses with display functionality.
[0105] When the smart glasses 2 are worn on a user's head, the user can engage in activities such as gaming, working, browsing the web, listening to music, and meditation. These experiences typically involve displaying images, playing sounds, and controlling the cursor. Some of these functions can be achieved through the electronic unit 20 within the smart glasses 2, while others require interaction between the interactive device 3 and the smart glasses 2. For example, when playing games, displaying images and playing sounds can be achieved through the electronic unit 20 within the smart glasses 2, while functions such as opening menus and selecting targets require interaction between the interactive device 3 and the smart glasses 2.
[0106] Furthermore, users require different functionalities and perform different operations depending on the type of experience. In highly interactive scenarios, users need to perform frequent operations, such as gaming, office work, and browsing the web. In less interactive scenarios, users only need to perform simple operations on specific functions, such as adjusting the volume or progress bar when playing a movie.
[0107] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the interactive device 3 in this application is configured as a finger-type wearable structure. Furthermore, the interactive device 3 can be selectively fixed to or detached from the smart glasses 2. When the interactive device 3 is detached from the smart glasses 2, it can interact with the smart glasses 2 for a first function. When the interactive device 3 is fixed to the smart glasses 2, it can interact with the smart glasses 2 for a second function.
[0108] It should be noted that a portion of the functions in the first function include some or all of the following: confirmation, return, cancel, volume adjustment, and brightness adjustment. Another portion of the functions in the first function includes target selection via inertial measurement. Some functions in the first function are the same as those in the second function. Alternatively, it can be understood that the second function only includes a portion of the functions in the first function.
[0109] Specifically, when the interactive device 3 is in its first state, the first function can meet the interaction needs of highly interactive scenarios requiring frequent operations, such as gaming, office work, and web browsing. When the interactive device 3 is in its second state, some functions of the first function can be turned off, leaving only the second function. The second function can meet the interaction needs of weakly interactive scenarios requiring only simple adjustments, such as watching movies and meditation. The disabled functions of the first function may include, for example, inertial measurement. When the interactive device 3 is in its second state, the user controls the cursor through head navigation and gestures on the smart glasses 2. This simplifies operation in weakly interactive scenarios and enhances the user's immersion.
[0110] It should be noted that the interactive device 3, with its finger-worn structure, can be selectively fixed to or detached from the smart glasses 2. When detached, the interactive device 3 can be worn on the user's finger for primary functions (e.g., volume and brightness adjustment, and target selection via inertial measurement), meeting the needs of high-interaction scenarios requiring frequent operations (e.g., gaming, office work, web browsing). When fixed to the smart glasses 2, the user can directly use the device to perform secondary functions (e.g., volume and brightness adjustment; or, as can be understood, the secondary functions are only a subset of the primary functions), meeting the needs of low-interaction scenarios requiring only simple adjustments (e.g., watching movies, meditation). In low-interaction scenarios, the user no longer needs to find and pick up the interactive device 3 to interact with the smart glasses 2, reducing the complexity of using the device and significantly enhancing the user's immersion. Furthermore, compared to external devices such as handles in existing technologies, the interactive device 3 with its finger-type wearable structure is smaller in size, has a more regular shape, and can be directly fixed to the smart glasses 2. There is no need to prepare additional storage space for the interactive device 3, which greatly improves the portability and storage of the interactive device 3.
[0111] Therefore, the interactive device 3 for a finger-type wearable structure used in this application for communicating with smart glasses 2 can meet the interaction needs of strong interaction scenarios requiring frequent operations when detached from smart glasses 2; and can meet the interaction needs of weak interaction scenarios requiring only simple adjustment operations when fixed to smart glasses 2. While meeting the interaction needs of strong interaction scenarios, it reduces the complexity of using the interactive device 3 in weak interaction scenarios, improving the user's immersion in these scenarios. Furthermore, the interactive device 3 is small in size and has a regular shape, allowing it to be directly fixed to smart glasses 2, greatly improving its portability and storage. This solves the problems in the prior art where the interactive device 3 for smart glasses 2 has high complexity in weak interaction scenarios, significantly weakening the user's immersion; and is also large in size, irregular in shape, and has poor portability and storage.
[0112] The above, with reference to the accompanying drawings, introduces the composition, functions, and application scenarios of the interactive system. The following, with reference to the accompanying drawings, explains the signal transmission method when smart glasses interact with interactive devices.
[0113] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the signal transmission principle of the interactive system in an embodiment of this application.
[0114] like Figure 5As shown, the interactive device 3 includes an electronic unit 42, and the smart glasses 2 includes an electronic unit 20. The electronic unit 42 of the interactive device 3 and the electronic unit 20 of the smart glasses 2 are communicatively connected.
[0115] The specific composition of the electronic unit 20 of the smart glasses 2 is not limited. For example, it may include, but is not limited to, a processing device 201 for processing signals, an audio device 202 for controlling sound playback, a microphone 203 for recording sound, a camera device 204 for capturing images, a display unit 205 for displaying images, a battery module 206 for power supply, and a wireless communication module 207 for signal transmission, etc. It should be noted that the functional implementation and configuration of each electronic component will be described below and will not be elaborated upon here. Some electronic components in the electronic unit 20 are electrically connected to the processing device 201 and communicate directly or indirectly with the processing device 201.
[0116] The specific composition of the electronic unit 42 in the interactive device 3 is not limited. For example, it may include, but is not limited to, a battery 51, a charging control unit 52, an inertial measurement unit 53, a wireless communication unit 54, a trigger 57, and a touch sensor 63.
[0117] It should be noted that the communication connection between the electronic unit 42 of the interactive device 3 and the electronic unit 20 of the smart glasses 2 is not limited; it can be a wireless communication connection or a wired communication connection. When the electronic unit 42 of the interactive device 3 and the electronic unit 20 of the smart glasses 2 are wirelessly connected, the inertial measurement unit 53, the trigger 57 (triggered by the button 55), and the touch sensor 63 in the interactive device 3 will wirelessly connect the signal with the wireless communication module 207 in the smart glasses 2 through the wireless communication unit 54. After being processed by the processing device 201, the signal will be sent to other electronic devices in the smart glasses 2, causing the other electronic devices to perform corresponding interactive actions.
[0118] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the electronic unit 42 of the interactive device 3 can communicate with the electronic unit 20 of the smart glasses 2 via the wireless communication unit 54. The inertial measurement unit 53 is electrically connected to the wireless communication unit 54. In a strong interaction scenario, the battery 51 powers the interactive device 3, the wireless communication unit 54 communicates with the electronic unit of the smart glasses 2, and the inertial measurement unit 53 recognizes the user's finger movements and collects corresponding data. Figure 5As shown, the inertial measurement unit 53 transmits the collected data to the processing device 201 in the smart glasses 2 via the wireless communication unit 54 and the wireless communication module 207. The processing device 201 processes the data and controls the corresponding parts of the smart glasses 2 to perform interactive actions corresponding to the data results. In weak interaction scenarios, the battery 51 can be charged, the inertial measurement unit 53 stops recognizing the user's finger movements, and the wireless communication unit 54 can also stop signal transmission (it should be noted that signal transmission can also continue). The electronic unit 42 of the interaction device 3 can meet the communication needs with the electronic unit 20 of the smart glasses 2 in both strong and weak interaction scenarios, and can effectively reduce the power consumption of the interaction device 3 in weak interaction scenarios. Furthermore, the type of the wireless communication unit 54 and the wireless communication module 207 is not limited; for example, it can be a Bluetooth transmission unit, a WiFi transmission unit, or a Zigbee transmission unit. For example, the wireless communication unit 54 and the wireless communication module 207 in this application are configured as a Bluetooth transmission unit.
[0119] It should be noted that the battery 51 is used to power the interactive device 3, mainly to power other electronic devices in the electronic unit 42 of the interactive device 3 (e.g., inertial measurement unit 53, touch sensor 63, etc.).
[0120] It should be noted that in highly interactive scenarios, the smart glasses 2 control the cursor through the inertial measurement unit 53 of the interaction device 3. The inertial measurement unit 53 is a device used to measure and track motion, and its specific structure and type are not limited. It can, but is not limited to, consist primarily of three inertial sensors: an accelerometer, a gyroscope, and a magnetometer. The accelerometer measures the acceleration of an object, i.e., the rate of change of velocity. By detecting the acceleration of an object along three coordinate axes, the direction and velocity change of the object can be calculated. The gyroscope measures the angular velocity of an object, i.e., the rate of change of angle. By detecting the angular velocity of an object along three coordinate axes, the direction and rotation rate of the object can be calculated. The magnetometer measures the magnetic field around the object. Using the direction of the Earth's magnetic field as a reference, the orientation of the object in space can be determined. Simultaneously, the magnetometer can also be used to compensate for measurement errors of the accelerometer and gyroscope. Through the measurement and comprehensive application of these three sensors, the inertial measurement unit 53 can achieve accurate motion tracking, positioning, and calculation of the object's attitude. Therefore, the inertial measurement unit 53 can accurately identify the movements made by the user's fingers.
[0121] The touch sensor 63 is electrically connected to the wireless communication unit 54. The touch sensor 63 collects the user's touch signals and transmits them to the processing device 201 of the smart glasses 2. The processing device 201 processes the data and controls the corresponding parts of the smart glasses 2 to perform interactive actions corresponding to the data results. For example... Figure 5 As shown, when a user presses button 55, the corresponding trigger element 57 is activated and generates a corresponding trigger signal. This trigger signal can be transmitted to the smart glasses 2 via the wireless communication unit 54. After being processed by the processing device 201 of the smart glasses 2, it controls the smart glasses 2 to perform corresponding interactive actions. The interaction method is simple and has low implementation cost.
[0122] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the interactive device 3 may further include an electrical connector 56, and the smart glasses 2 may include a connected component 25. Through the electrical connection between the electrical connector 56 and the connected component 25, the electronic unit 42 of the interactive device 3 and the electronic unit 20 of the smart glasses 2 can establish a wired communication connection. Thus, the inertial measurement unit 53, the trigger 57, and the touch sensor 63 in the interactive device 3 can transmit corresponding signals through the electrical connector 56 and the connected component 25 to the processing device 201 of the smart glasses 2 for processing, and send the processed signals to other electronic devices in the smart glasses 2, causing the other electronic devices to perform corresponding interactive actions. The electronic unit 42 (e.g., sub-electronic unit 43) of the interactive device 3 and the electronic unit of the smart glasses 2 transmit wired signals through the electrical connection between the electrical connector 56 and the connected component 25. This is beneficial for improving the stability and quality of signal transmission.
[0123] It should be noted that the charging control unit 52 is electrically connected to the battery 51. The charging control unit 52 of the interactive device 3 can cut off the charging current when the battery 51 is fully charged, thus protecting the battery 51 during charging and improving the safety and reliability of the interactive device 3. The interactive device 3 and the smart glasses 2 can be charged wirelessly or via wired connection.
[0124] like Figure 5As shown, in one embodiment, the electrical connector 56 is electrically connected to the battery 51 (the electrical connector 56 and the battery 51 can be directly electrically connected, or they can be electrically connected through the charging control unit 52 or other electronic devices), and the electrically connected component 25 is electrically connected to the battery module 206 of the smart glasses 2. The interactive device 3 and the smart glasses 2 are wired charged through the electrical connection between the electrical connector 56 and the electrically connected component 25. Wired charging of the interactive device 3 and the smart glasses 2 through the electrical connection between the electrical connector 56 and the electrically connected component 25 is beneficial for improving the charging speed at rated power. In another embodiment, both the interactive device 3 and the smart glasses 2 are equipped with corresponding wireless charging modules (not shown in the figure), and wireless charging is performed through these modules.
[0125] Furthermore, the communication methods between the interactive device 3 and the smart glasses 2 when they are fixed and detached can be the same or different. In one embodiment, when the interactive device 3 is detached from the smart glasses 2, the electronic unit 42 of the interactive device 3 and the electronic unit 20 of the smart glasses 2 establish a wireless communication connection. When the interactive device 3 is fixed to the smart glasses 2, the electronic unit 42 of the interactive device 3 and the electronic unit 20 of the smart glasses 2 establish a wired communication connection. In another embodiment, when the interactive device 3 is fixed to the smart glasses 2 and detached, the electronic unit 42 of the interactive device 3 and the electronic unit 20 of the smart glasses 2 both establish a wireless communication connection.
[0126] It should be noted that the specific implementation of each function mentioned above is not limited. Users can customize the implementation of each function in the user settings interface according to their needs, thereby greatly expanding the application scope of the smart glasses 2. For example, pressing button 55 performs the "confirm" function; long-pressing button 55 performs the "volume adjustment" function; clicking the housing on the surface of the touch sensor 63 performs the "cancel" function; double-clicking the housing on the surface of the touch sensor 63 performs the "back" function; sliding upwards on the housing on the surface of the touch sensor 63 performs the "brightness increase" (or volume increase) function; sliding downwards on the housing on the surface of the touch sensor 63 performs the "brightness decrease" (or volume decrease) function, and so on.
[0127] The above description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, illustrates the signal transmission method when smart glasses interact with interactive devices. The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, provides examples of the functions and structures of the various components in smart glasses.
[0128] Please refer to 6. Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of smart glasses in the interactive system of this application embodiment.
[0129] like Figure 6As shown, the smart glasses 2 includes a frame 21. The frame 21 of the smart glasses 2 includes temples 23 and a frame 22, with the temples 23 connected to the frame 22. It should be noted that the connection method between the temples 23 and the frame 22 is not limited; they can be fixedly connected as an integral structure or rotated. Those skilled in the art can design according to specific circumstances. In one example, the temples 23 and the frame 22 of the smart glasses 2 are rotated to achieve the folding and unfolding of the smart glasses 2. When the smart glasses 2 is in the open state, the temples 23 and the frame 22 open at a 90° angle, allowing the temples 23 to be held against the user's ear for easy wearing. It should be noted that the angles illustrated in this application are allowed to have slight deviations. For example, when the smart glasses 2 is in the open state, the angle between its temples 23 and the frame 22 can be 90°, or approximately 90°, such as 85°, 87°, 93°, or 95°, etc. Other angles can be understood in the same way later. When the smart glasses 2 are switched to the folded state (not shown in the figure), the angle between the temple 23 and the frame 22 is approximately 0°. The two temples 23 and the frame 22 are stacked in sequence, occupying less space, which improves the portability and storage of the smart glasses 2, and thus improves the portability and storage of the interaction system 1.
[0130] The frame 21 may include two temples 23, or it may have only one temple 23; this application does not limit this. In one embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, the frame 21 in this application is provided with two temples 23, and the ends of the two temples 23 are respectively connected to the left and right ends of the frame 22.
[0131] It should be noted that, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when the smart glasses 2 are worn on a user's head, the user can see the image displayed by the display unit 205 of the smart glasses 2. The display unit 205 of the smart glasses is used to display images or videos captured by the camera device 204, or to display image information, video information, or other information stored in the smart glasses 2. The display unit 205 can be integrated into the frame 22 of the smart glasses 2, or it can be integrated into the temple 23. Those skilled in the art will understand that the structure and placement of the display unit 205 can adopt structures known in the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.
[0132] The smart glasses 2 also include lenses (not shown in the figure), and there are two lenses. Those skilled in the art will understand that in alternative embodiments, there may be only one lens. In this embodiment, the lenses may be existing lenses capable of displaying images output by the display unit 205, such as waveguide lenses. Those skilled in the art will understand that in alternative embodiments, the lenses may be ordinary lenses that cannot display images, and the smart glasses will not have a display unit 205; in this case, the smart glasses cannot display images and only have audio functionality.
[0133] It should be noted that the processing device 201 may include, but is not limited to, a processor, an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), and / or any combination thereof. According to one aspect, the processor may be a microprocessor, a digital signal processor, a microcontroller, and / or any combination thereof. According to another aspect, the processor may be a single-core processor, a multi-core processor, and / or any combination thereof.
[0134] A processor may include one or more processing units, such as application processors, modem processors, graphics processors, image signal processors, video processing units, controllers, memory, video codecs, digital signal processors, baseband processors, and / or neural network processors. Different processing units may be independent devices or integrated into one or more processors.
[0135] The processor serves as the neural hub and command center of the smart glasses 2. It generates operation control signals based on instruction opcodes and timing signals to control instruction fetching and execution. The processor's image information receiving end is connected to the image information output end of the camera device 204, and its audio information receiving end is connected to the audio information output end of the microphone 203. The system also includes a data transmission line with a Type-C data interface at one end and an electrical connection to the processor at the other end; the data receiving end of the data transmission line is connected to the processor's data output end.
[0136] The processor may also include memory for storing instructions and data. In some embodiments, the memory in the processor is a cache memory. This memory can hold instructions or data that the processor has just used or that are used repeatedly. If the processor needs to use the instruction or data again, it can retrieve it directly from memory. This avoids repeated accesses, reduces processor wait time, and thus improves system efficiency.
[0137] Furthermore, the audio device 202 is positioned on the temple 23 near the user's ear when the smart glasses 2 are worn. The audio device 202 employs a speaker or bone conduction device. This audio device 202 can play audio information stored in the smart glasses 2 independently, and the smart glasses 2 can also be connected to other electronic devices, such as mobile phones, via wired or wireless means, allowing the audio device 202 of the smart glasses to play audio information from other electronic devices (such as mobile phones).
[0138] When the audio device 202 uses a speaker, the speaker can be integrated into the temple 23, allowing the user to hear clearly even in noisy environments. When the audio device 202 uses a bone conduction device, the generated sound can be transmitted to the inner ear through the bones on the side of the user's head, allowing the user to hear the sound. In this embodiment, the audio device 202 is integrated into both temples 23.
[0139] Furthermore, a microphone 203 is disposed on the temple 23 for capturing audio information. Those skilled in the art will understand that, in alternative embodiments, the microphone 203 may also be integrated into the frame 22. A camera device 204 is disposed at the front of the frame 22 and is used to capture image information.
[0140] The communication circuit between the camera device 204, the display unit 205, the audio device 202 and the processing device 201 uses a circuit known in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.
[0141] In some embodiments, the processing device 201 and the camera device 204 communicate via a CSI interface (Camera Serial Interface) to enable the smart glasses 2 to take pictures. The processing device 201 and the display unit 205 communicate via a DSI interface (Display Serial Interface) to enable the smart glasses 2 to display.
[0142] It should be noted that the battery module 206 is disposed within the temple 23. In this embodiment, the battery module 206 is integrated into both temples 23. It is understood that the battery module 206 can also be disposed in one temple. The battery module 206 can be arranged in the middle of the temple 23 near the ear support point when wearing the glasses, so that the weight distribution of the entire glasses is more balanced, which helps to reduce the pressure exerted on the bridge of the nose by the front weight of the smart glasses 2 through the nose pad, reduce the feeling of pressure, and increase comfort, especially for long-term wear.
[0143] The battery module 206 provides power to the smart components such as the lenses, audio device 202, and camera device 204 on the smart glasses 2. Those skilled in the art will understand that, in alternative embodiments, the battery module 206 can also be integrated into the frame 22; or it can be integrated into only one temple 23.
[0144] The smart glasses 2 also include, but are not shown in the figure, a memory, a sensor module, and a communication module. These electronic components can be integrated into the temples or the frame. The sensor module may include a focal length detection optical sensor, used to detect the focal length of the user's eyeballs. The sensor module may also include other sensors, such as a sound detector, a proximity sensor, a distance sensor, a gyroscope sensor, an ambient light sensor, an accelerometer, and a temperature sensor.
[0145] The temple 23 also contains a circuit board (not shown in the figure), which is fixed within the corresponding temple 23. Electronic devices (such as processing device 201, audio device 202, etc.) located within the corresponding temple 23 are integrated into the corresponding circuit board. In this embodiment, circuit boards are integrated into both temples 23.
[0146] To further reduce the energy consumption of the smart glasses 2, reduce the size and weight of the circuitry of the augmented reality smart glasses 2, and increase wearing comfort, the circuit board design can adopt an HDI board (High Density Interconnector) design, thereby minimizing the size of the circuit board.
[0147] In addition, the smart glasses 2 may include wireless communication functionality. The communication module includes a wireless communication module 207 and a mobile communication module. The wireless communication functionality can be implemented through an antenna (not shown), a mobile communication module (not shown), a modem processor (not shown), and a baseband processor (not shown), etc.
[0148] It should be noted that the hardware and software mentioned above can all be those known in the existing technology, and will not be elaborated on further here.
[0149] The functions and structures of the components in the smart glasses have been explained above with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following section, with reference to the accompanying drawings, provides a detailed explanation of how the interactive device is fixed and separated from the smart glasses.
[0150] Please see Figures 7 to 11 , Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the relationship between various components in an interactive device according to an embodiment of this application. The interactive device includes multiple functional modules. Figure 8This is a schematic diagram illustrating the relationship between various components in an interactive device according to an embodiment of this application, wherein the interactive device includes a functional module; Figure 9 for Figure 3 A magnified view of part A from another perspective; Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the connection relationship between the interactive device and the smart glasses in the interactive system of this application embodiment; Figure 11 for Figure 2 A magnified view of part B from another perspective.
[0151] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the interactive device 3 includes functional module 4. It should be noted that the number of functional modules 4 is not limited; there can be one (see [reference]). Figure 8 ) or more (see Figure 7 Those skilled in the art can design it according to actual needs. In one embodiment, the interactive device 3 has multiple functional modules 4 (the specific structure of each functional module 4 will be described in detail below, and will not be repeated here). The electronic unit 42 of the interactive device 3 includes sub-electronic units 43 corresponding to each functional module 4. Each functional module 4 includes a housing 41 and a corresponding sub-electronic unit 43 disposed on the housing 41. The type and number of electronic devices included in each sub-electronic unit are not limited, and can be reasonably set according to the functions to be implemented by each functional module; this application does not impose any restrictions on this.
[0152] It should be noted that, as Figure 9 As shown and Figure 10 As shown, the interactive device 3 also includes a locking part 31, and the smart glasses 2 also includes a locked part 26. The locking part 31 can be locked or unlocked with the locked part 26, so that the interactive device 3 can be selectively fixed or separated from the smart glasses 2. The interactive device and the smart glasses 2 in the interactive system 1 are selectively fixed or separated by locking or unlocking the locking part 31 and the locked part 26, which improves the convenience of user operation.
[0153] Among them, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, the locking part 31 is disposed on the housing 41 of the functional module 4. The position of the locked part 26 is not limited; it can be disposed on the frame 22 of the smart glasses 2 or on the temple 23 of the smart glasses 2. In one example, the locked part 26 is disposed on the temple 23 of the smart glasses 2, so that when the interactive device 3 is fixed to the smart glasses 2, the interactive device 3 is fixed to the temple 23 of the smart glasses 2. This is more in line with the user's operating habits and improves the convenience of user operation. Furthermore, the number of locking parts 31 and locked parts 26 is not limited; there can be one or more. For example, the number of locking parts 31 and locked parts 26 is set to multiple (four), and they are spaced apart along the length direction of the temple 23.
[0154] Furthermore, the method by which the interactive device 3 and the smart glasses 2 are fixed or separated is not limited; for example, it can be a magnetic attachment or a snap-fit connection. For example, ... Figure 10 As shown, the locking part 31 can be configured as a second magnetic member 32, and the locked part 26 can be configured as a second magnetically attracted member 27. The second magnetic member 32 can be engaged and locked or unlocked and separated from the second magnetically attracted member 27, thereby fixing or separating the interactive device 3 from the smart glasses 2. Specifically, when the interactive device 3 and the smart glasses 2 are assembled, the second magnetic member 32 can be engaged with the second magnetically attracted member 27, so that there is a certain binding force (i.e., magnetic attraction) between the interactive device 3 and the smart glasses 2. When the interactive device 3 and the smart glasses 2 are separated, only an external force is needed to easily separate the second magnetic member 32 from the second magnetically attracted member 27. The locking part 31 of the interactive device 3 and the locked part 26 of the smart glasses 2 are locked or unlocked by magnetic attraction, thereby realizing the fixing or separation between the interactive device and the smart glasses 2. The structure is simple and easy to operate.
[0155] It should be noted that at least one of the second magnetic attractor 32 and the second magnetically attracted member 27 can be made of a magnetic material. For example, one of the second magnetic attractor 32 and the second magnetically attracted member 27 can be made of a magnetic material, and the other can be made of a metal material that can be attracted by the magnetic material (e.g., stainless steel, nickel, cobalt, etc.); or both the second magnetic attractor 32 and the second magnetically attracted member 27 can be made of magnetic materials. The specific type of magnetic material is not limited and can be permanent magnets, electromagnets, etc., and this application does not impose any restrictions on it.
[0156] In one embodiment, the second magnetically attracted member 27 is made of a magnetic material, such as a permanent magnet. The second magnetically attracted member 32 is made of a metallic material that can be attracted by magnetic materials, such as stainless steel. Further, the housing 41 of the functional module 4 can be made of a metallic material that can be attracted by magnetic materials, or it can be understood that the housing 41 of the functional module 4 is reused as the second magnetically attracted member 32, or an additional second magnetically attracted member 32 can be provided on the housing 41 of the functional module 4. In one example, such as... Figure 10 As shown, an additional second magnetic element 32 is provided on the housing 41 of the functional module 4.
[0157] It should be noted that the interactive device 3 can be attached to the outer surface of the eyeglass frame 21, or a groove can be cut into the outer surface of the eyeglass frame 21 to accommodate at least a portion of the interactive device 3 within the groove; this application does not impose any limitations on this. Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, a groove 24 is formed on the outer surface of the frame 21. When the interactive device 3 is fixed to the smart glasses 2, the interactive device 3 is accommodated and fixed in the groove 24 of the smart glasses 2. This makes it easier for the user to find the fixed position between the interactive device 3 and the smart glasses 2, improving the user's operating experience. When the interactive device 3 is located in the groove 24, it is less likely to be loosened by external forces. The interactive device 3 occupies less external space when set in the groove 24, making it easier to store on the smart glasses 2, further improving the portability and storage of the interactive device 3. Furthermore, the groove 24 provides a certain degree of concealment for the interactive device 3, improving its concealment and thus enhancing the appearance of the interactive system.
[0158] In one embodiment, a groove 24 is formed on the temple 23 of the smart glasses 2, extending along the length of the temple 23, and its shape matches the interactive device 3 in the second state. The interactive device 3 is accommodated and fixed in the groove 24 of the temple 23. Furthermore, in the depth direction of the groove 24, the interactive device 3 can be partially embedded in the groove 24 or entirely embedded in the groove 24; this application does not limit this. In one example, the interactive device 3 is partially embedded in the groove 24.
[0159] The above description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, details the methods for fixing and separating the interactive device from the smart glasses. The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, details the methods for changing the form of the interactive device.
[0160] Please see Figures 12 to 19 , Figure 12 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the interactive device in the second state according to an embodiment of this application; Figure 13 This is a structural schematic diagram from another perspective when the interactive device of this application is in the second state; Figure 14This is a schematic diagram of the structure of another interactive device according to an embodiment of this application; Figure 15 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the principle of the opening and closing structure in the locked state in the interactive device according to an embodiment of this application; Figure 16 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the principle of the opening and closing structure in the interactive device according to an embodiment of this application when it is in the unlocked state; Figure 17 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the principle of another interactive device in a second state according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 18 This is another schematic diagram of the principle when the opening and closing structure in the interactive device of this application is in the locked state; Figure 19 This is another schematic diagram illustrating the principle of the opening and closing structure in the locked state in the interactive device of this application.
[0161] It should be noted that the states of the interactive device 3 when it is fixed to the smart glasses 2 and the states when they are separated can be the same or different. In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the interactive device 3 is configured to switch between a first state and a second state. When the interactive device 3 is in the first state, it is ring-shaped and detachable from the smart glasses 2. When the interactive device 3 is in the second state, it is strip-shaped and fixed to the smart glasses 2 (e.g., ...). Figure 2 (As shown). The interactive device 3 can switch between a ring shape and a strip shape. When the interactive device 3 is detached from the smart glasses 2 and is in a ring shape, it can fit the shape of the user's finger, making it convenient for the user to wear on their finger and interact with the smart glasses 2, thereby improving the convenience of user operation. When the interactive device 3 is fixed to the smart glasses 2 and is in a strip shape, it occupies less external space than the ring-shaped interactive device 3, making it easier to store on the smart glasses 2, improving the portability and storage of the interactive device 3. Furthermore, the overlap effect of the strip-shaped interactive device 3 when fixed to the smart glasses 2 is better, improving the concealment of the interactive device 3, thereby improving the appearance of the smart glasses 2 with the interactive device 3 fixedly connected.
[0162] In another implementation, such as Figure 14 As shown, the interactive device is set to a ring-shaped finger-like wearable structure in both its fixed and detached states from the smart glasses.
[0163] Those skilled in the art will understand that the specific shape of the ring-shaped interactive device is not limited. It can be a closed connecting ring without openings, such as a circular ring, a rectangular ring, or a hexagonal ring; or it can be an open connecting ring, such as a C-shaped ring. The specific extension direction of the strip-shaped interactive device is not limited. It can extend along a straight line, a curve, or a broken line, or it can extend along at least two of the following: a straight line, a curve, or a broken line. This application does not impose any limitations.
[0164] It should be noted that the specific structure of the interactive device is not limited. For example... Figure 4 and Figure 12 As shown, in one embodiment, the interactive device 3 may further include a first connector 8, which has a strip-shaped structure and is disposed between the first end 45 and the second end 46 of the overall structure of all functional modules 4. Specifically, one end of the functional module 4 located at the beginning of the structure constitutes the first end 45 of the overall structure of all functional modules 4, and one end of the functional module 4 located at the end of the structure constitutes the second end 46 of the overall structure of all functional modules 4.
[0165] It should be noted that the first connector 8 can be a rigid structure or a flexible structure. For example, the first connector 8 is a flexible structure. When the interactive device 3 switches between the first state and the second state, the shape of the first connector 8 can change accordingly. Specifically, when the interactive device 3 switches from the first state to the second state, the first connector 8 can be curved (see...). Figure 4 ) transforms into a straight line (see Figure 12 The external space occupied by the interactive device 3 is reduced, and the first connector 8 can better connect with the smart glasses 2 (see...). Figure 11 By attaching and fixing the device to the smart glasses 2, the portability and storage of the interactive device 3 are effectively improved, as well as its compatibility with the smart glasses 2 (see [link]). Figure 11 The reliability of the connection. When the interactive device 3 switches from the second state to the first state, the first connector 8 can be a linear (see...) Figure 12 ) deformed into an arc shape (see Figure 4 The arc-shaped first connector 8 can better fit the shape of the user's fingers, thereby improving the comfort of the user wearing the interactive device 3.
[0166] The specific manner in which the first connector 8 is configured as a flexible structure is not limited. In one example, the first connector 8 is made of a flexible or elastic material, such as rubber or flexible plastic, and achieves flexible deformation through the inherent properties of the material. In another example, the first connector 8 includes multiple sub-connectors arranged sequentially, with any adjacent sub-connectors rotatably connected, and each sub-connector is made of a rigid material. This can be understood as the structure of a metal watchband.
[0167] Furthermore, the ratio of the length of the first connector 8 to the total length of the interactive device 3 is not limited. For example, the length of the first connector 8 may be one-third, one-quarter, or the same as the total length of the interactive device 3. Those skilled in the art can choose according to design requirements. In one example, the length of the first connector 8 is one-quarter of the total length of the interactive device 3.
[0168] It should be noted that the switching method is not limited when the interactive device 3 switches between the first ring-shaped state and the second strip-shaped state. For example, it can be done by setting an opening and closing structure 9 (see...). Figure 4 This can be achieved either by changing the shape of the first connector 8 or by altering the form of the first connector 8. When the interactive device 3 switches states by setting the opening / closing structure 9, the location of the opening / closing structure 9 is not limited; it can be set on the first connector 8 or at the junction of the functional module 4 and the first connector 8.
[0169] In one implementation, such as Figure 4 and Figure 12 As shown, the first connector 8 includes a first connecting segment 81 and a second connecting segment 82. One end of the first connecting segment 81 along its extension direction is rotatably connected to the first end 45 of the entire functional module 4, and one end of the second connecting segment 82 along its extension direction is rotatably connected to the second end 46 of the entire functional module 4. It should be noted that the extension direction of the interactive device 3 can be determined according to its shape. For example, when the interactive device 3 is ring-shaped, the extension direction of the interactive device 3 is the circumferential direction of the ring-shaped interactive device 3. When the interactive device 3 is strip-shaped, the extension direction of the interactive device 3 is the extension direction of the strip-shaped structure. The extension direction of the first connector 8 is similar.
[0170] like Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, and in combination Figure 4 and Figure 12It is understood that the interactive device also includes an opening and closing structure 9, which is disposed on the first connector 8 of the interactive device 3. The opening and closing structure 9 includes an opening portion 91 and a closed portion 93, one of which is disposed at the other end of the first connecting segment 81 along its extension direction, and the other is disposed at the other end of the second connecting segment 82 along its extension direction. When the interactive device 3 is in a first state, the opening portion 91 and the closed portion 93 are locked together, so that the other end of the first connecting segment 81 is fixedly connected to the other end of the second connecting segment 82. In one example, the opening portion 91 is disposed at the other end of the first connecting segment 81 along its extension direction, and the closed portion 93 is disposed at the other end of the second connecting segment 82 along its extension direction. When the opening / closing part 91 is unlocked and separated from the opened / closing part 93, the first connecting segment 81 and the second connecting segment 82 can rotate in opposite directions relative to the overall structure of all functional modules (or, as can be understood, the first connecting segment 81 and the second connecting segment 82 rotate in opposite directions to move away from each other), allowing the interactive device to switch from the first state to the second state. When the interactive device 3 is in the first state, the opening / closing structure 9 is locked, allowing the interactive device to maintain its ring shape and preventing it from easily coming loose when worn on a user's finger. When the opening / closing structure 9 is unlocked and separated, the first connecting segment 81 and the second connecting segment 82 of the first connecting member 8 can rotate relative to the overall structure of all functional modules, allowing the interactive device to switch from a ring shape to a strip shape, and then from a strip shape back to a ring shape. This enables rapid switching of the interactive device between the first and second states, improving the convenience of user operation.
[0171] In another implementation, such as Figure 17 As shown, one end of the first connector 8 along its extension direction is rotatably connected to one of the first end 45 and the second end 46 of the entire functional module 4. The interactive device 3 also includes an opening and closing structure 9, which includes an opening and closing part 91 and a closed part 93. One of the opening and closing part 91 and the closed part 93 is disposed at the other end of the first connector 8 along its extension direction, and the other is disposed at the other end of the first end 45 and the second end 46 of the entire functional module 4. Specifically, one end of the first connector 8 is rotatably connected to the first end 45 of the entire functional module 4, the opening and closing part 91 is disposed at the other end of the first connector 8, and the closed part 93 is disposed at the second end 46 of the entire functional module 4.
[0172] When the interactive device 3 is in the first state, the opening / closing part 91 and the opening / closing part 93 are locked together, so that the other end of the first connector 8 is fixedly connected to the other end of the first end 45 and the second end 46 of the entire functional module 4. When the opening / closing part 91 and the opening / closing part 93 are unlocked and separated, the first connector 8 can rotate relative to the entire functional module 4, so that the interactive device 3 switches from the first state to the second state. The opening / closing structure 9 is provided at the junction of the entire functional module 4 and the first connector 8. When the interactive device 3 is in the first state, the opening / closing structure 9 is locked, so that the interactive device 3 can maintain a ring shape and is not easy to fall off when worn on the user's finger. When the opening / closing structure 9 is unlocked and separated, the first connector 8 can rotate relative to the functional module 4, so that the interactive device 3 can switch from a ring shape to a strip shape, and then can also switch from a strip shape to a ring shape. This realizes the rapid switching of the interactive device 3 between the first state and the second state, improving the convenience of user operation.
[0173] In another embodiment, the functional module 4 has a receiving groove for accommodating the first connector 8. When the interactive device 3 switches from the first state to the second state, the shape of the flexible structure's first connector 8 changes, and it is pressed into and engaged in the receiving groove of the functional module.
[0174] It should be noted that the specific method by which the opening and closing structure 9 is implemented is not limited; it can be achieved through magnetic attraction or snap-fit. Those skilled in the art can choose according to design requirements. In one embodiment, such as... Figure 15 As shown, the opening / closing portion 91 is configured as a first magnetic attractor 92, and the opening / closing portion 93 is configured as a first magnetically attracted member 94. The first magnetic attractor 92 can be engaged and locked with the first magnetically attracted member 94, or unlocked and separated. Specifically, when the opening / closing structure 9 is engaged and locked, the first magnetic attractor 92 can be engaged with the first magnetically attracted member 94, so that there is a certain binding force (i.e., magnetic attraction) between the opening / closing portion 91 and the opening / closing portion 93. When the opening / closing structure 9 is unlocked and separated, only an external force is needed to easily separate the first magnetic attractor 92 and the first magnetically attracted member 94.
[0175] It should be noted that at least one of the first magnetic attractor 92 and the first magnetically attracted member 94 may be made of a magnetic material. For example, one of the first magnetic attractor 92 and the first magnetically attracted member 94 may be made of a magnetic material, and the other may be made of a metallic material that can be attracted by the magnetic material (e.g., stainless steel, nickel, cobalt, etc.); alternatively, both the first magnetic attractor 92 and the first magnetically attracted member 94 may be made of magnetic materials. The specific type of magnetic material is not limited and may include permanent magnets, electromagnets, etc., and this application does not impose any restrictions on this. In one example, the first magnetically attracted member 94 is made of a magnetic material, such as a permanent magnet. The first magnetic attractor 92 is made of a metallic material that can be attracted by the magnetic material, such as stainless steel.
[0176] Furthermore, the connection structure between the first magnetic attractor 92 and the first magnetically attracted member 94 and each connecting segment in the first connecting member 8 is not limited. In one example, such as Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, the first magnetic member 92 is fixedly connected to a portion or the entire surface of the first connecting segment 81 near the second connecting segment 82, and the first magnetically attached member 94 is fixedly connected to a portion or the entire surface of the second connecting segment 82 near one end of the first connecting segment 81.
[0177] In another example, such as Figure 18 As shown, a receiving groove for accommodating the first magnetic member 92 is formed on the surface of the first connecting segment 81 near the end of the second connecting segment 82, and a receiving groove for accommodating the first magnetic member 94 is formed on the surface of the second connecting segment 82 near the end of the first connecting segment 81. The first magnetic member 92 is fixedly connected to the receiving groove of the first connecting segment 81, and the first magnetic member 94 is fixedly connected to the receiving groove of the second connecting segment 82.
[0178] In another implementation, such as Figure 19 As shown, the opening / closing part 91 is configured as a snap-fit part, and the opening / closing part 93 is configured as a snap-fit part. The snap-fit part can be engaged with the snap-fit part to lock or unlock and separate. The opening / closing structure 9 achieves the switching between the locked state and the unlocked / separated state by magnetic attraction or snap-fit. The opening / closing structure 9 achieves the locking and unlocking / separation in a simple way and is easy to operate.
[0179] In the first state where the interactive device 3 is in a ring shape, the length of the connector can be constant or adjustable. For example, the opening / closing structure 9 is configured as a snap-fit structure, and the first connector 8 has multiple snap-fit parts along its extension direction. The first connector 8 adjusts its length by being snapped into different snap-fit parts. Different users can adjust the size of the first connector 8 according to the size of their fingers, improving the adaptability of the interactive device 3 to the user's fingers.
[0180] It should be noted that, as Figure 4 and Figure 12 As shown, the method by which the first connecting member 8 is rotatably connected to the functional module 4 is not limited. For example, it can be achieved through a rotating shaft structure, or through a combination of an arc-shaped slider and an arc-shaped groove (or it can be understood as a virtual shaft structure). Those skilled in the art can design it according to actual needs. In one example, the first connecting member 8 is rotatably connected to the functional module 4 through a rotating shaft structure.
[0181] The above, with reference to the accompanying drawings, provides a detailed description of the form transformation methods of interactive devices. The following, with reference to the accompanying drawings, provides a detailed explanation of the categories, arrangement, and connection methods of each functional module.
[0182] Please see Figures 20 to 27, Figure 20 This is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between the components in the interactive device according to an embodiment of this application; Figure 21 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the principle when the functional modules of the interactive device in this application are integrated into a single structure. Figure 22 This is a schematic diagram of the principle of the second connector in the interactive device according to an embodiment of this application, wherein the second connector is configured as a hinge structure; Figure 23 This is an exploded structural diagram of the interactive device in the first state according to an embodiment of this application; Figure 24 for Figure 23 A magnified view of part C in the middle; Figure 25 This is an exploded structural diagram from another perspective when the interactive device of this application is in the first state; Figure 26 for Figure 6 A magnified view of part D in the middle; Figure 27 for Figure 23 A magnified view of part E in the middle.
[0183] like Figure 4 and Figure 20 As shown, the types of the multiple functional modules 4 mentioned above are not limited. In one embodiment, the multiple functional modules 4 may include a button function module 5 and a touch function module, and the number of button function modules 5 and touch function modules in the interactive device 3 is not limited, and there may be one or more. In one example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the interactive device 3 includes one button function module 5 and four touch function modules. The button function module 5 and the touch function modules provide more diverse interaction methods and make it easier for users to distinguish the location of different functional parts. In another example, the interactive device 3 includes only one button function module 5. In yet another example, the interactive device 3 includes only four touch function modules.
[0184] The placement of multiple touch function modules is not limited; they can all be located at one end of the button function module 5, at the other end, or at both ends. In one example, such as... Figure 4 As shown, one end of the button function module 5 is provided with a first touch function module 61, and the other end is provided with a second touch function module 62. In another example, only one end of the button function module 5 is provided with the first touch function module 61. In yet another example, only the other end of the button function module 5 is provided with the second touch function module 62.
[0185] Furthermore, the number of first touch function modules 61 and second touch function modules 62 provided at both ends of the button function module 5 is unlimited; there can be one or more. The number of first touch function modules 61 and second touch function modules 62 can be equal or unequal. In one example, such as... Figure 4 As shown, one end of the button function module 5 is provided with two first touch function modules 61 arranged sequentially along the extension direction of the interactive device 3, and the other end is provided with two second touch function modules 62 arranged sequentially along the extension direction of the interactive device 3. Further, the multiple first touch function modules 61 can be configured to have the same function or different functions; similarly, the multiple second touch function modules 62 can be configured to have the same function or different functions. The multiple first touch function modules 61 have the same function, and the multiple second touch function modules 62 also have the same function, making it easier for users to find the required function during operation, thereby improving the user's interactive experience.
[0186] It should be noted that the multiple functional modules 4 can be configured as an integrated structure (meaning that the housing 41 of the multiple functional modules 4 is an integrated structure), or as a separate structure (meaning that the housing 41 of the multiple functional modules 4 is a separate structure), or parts of the multiple functional modules 4 can be configured as an integrated structure, while other parts are configured as separate structures. In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 12 As shown, the multiple functional modules 4 are configured as a split structure, and any two adjacent functional modules 4 can rotate relative to each other (in other alternative embodiments, the two adjacent functional modules 4 can also be fixed relative to each other). The relative rotation of any two adjacent functional modules 4 changes the shape of the interactive device 3 accordingly. When the multiple functional modules 4 rotate relative to each other until the interactive device 3 is strip-shaped, the external space occupied by the interactive device 3 is reduced, and it can better fit and fix with the smart glasses, effectively improving the portability and storage of the interactive device 3, as well as the reliability of the connection with the smart glasses. When the multiple functional modules 4 rotate relative to each other until the interactive device 3 is ring-shaped, the ring-shaped interactive device 3 can better fit the shape of the user's fingers, thereby improving the user's comfort when wearing the interactive device 3. In another embodiment, as... Figure 21 As shown, multiple functional modules 4 are configured as an integrated structure.
[0187] Specifically, such as Figure 4As shown, any two adjacent functional modules 4 are rotatably connected by a second connector 83, and the method by which the second connector 83 achieves this rotatable connection is not limited. For example, it can be achieved through the material properties of the second connector 83 or through its structure. In one embodiment, the second connector 83 is made of a flexible or elastic material, such as rubber, silicone, or flexible plastic. The second connector 83 achieves the rotatable connection of the two adjacent functional modules 4 based on its own elastic deformation. The material of the second connector 83 is relatively common, reducing production costs. In another embodiment, the second connector 83 is configured as a hinge structure, and the rotatable connection of the two adjacent functional modules 4 is achieved through the hinge structure.
[0188] The specific structure of the hinge mechanism is not limited; it can be a real axis structure or a virtual axis structure in which an arc-shaped slider and an arc-shaped slide bar rotate together. In one example, such as... Figure 22 As shown, adjacent functional modules 4 are rotatably connected via a virtual axis structure that uses an arc-shaped slider and an arc-shaped slide bar. Furthermore, the second connectors 83 between different functional modules 4 (or, as can be understood, multiple second connectors 83 of the interactive device 3) can have the same or different structures; their materials can also be the same or different. In one example, all the multiple second connectors 83 of the interactive device 3 are rotatably connected using a rigid real axis structure.
[0189] like Figure 23 As shown, the interactive device 3 may also include a circuit board 7, on which a trigger 57 is provided. The trigger 57 is electrically connected to the wireless communication unit 54. The housing 41 of the functional module 4 is provided with a button 55 corresponding to the trigger 57. The button 55 is exposed outside the housing 41 and is used to press the corresponding trigger 57.
[0190] The specific structure of circuit board 7 is not limited. For example... Figure 23As shown, in one embodiment, the circuit board 7 may include a first circuit board 71 and a second circuit board 72. The first circuit board 71 is configured as an FPC board, and the second circuit board 72 is configured as a PCB board. The first circuit board 71 extends along the extension direction of the interactive device 3 and passes through the housing 41 of the functional module 4. The charging control unit 52, the inertial measurement unit 53, and the wireless communication unit 54 are all integrated and electrically connected to the second circuit board 72, and the second circuit board 72, the battery 51, and the touch sensor 63 are integrated and electrically connected to the first circuit board 71. Some sub-electronic units of the interactive device 3 are integrated and electrically connected to the PCB board, and the PCB board and other sub-electronic units are integrated and electrically connected to the FPC board. The PCB board is a rigid board, which can effectively improve the reliability of the electrical connection between the sub-electronic units and the PCB board. The FPC board is a flexible board that can undergo elastic deformation. If the shape of the interactive device 3 changes, the FPC board can undergo corresponding elastic deformation without affecting the communication between the other sub-electronic units and the PCB board and the FPC board, thereby effectively improving the reliability of the electrical connection of the interactive device 3.
[0191] It should be noted that, as Figure 20 and Figure 24 As shown, the sub-electronic unit 43 in the button function module 5 includes a battery 51, a charging control unit 52, an inertial measurement unit 53, a trigger 57, and a wireless communication unit 54, and all sub-electronic units 43 in the button function module 5 are disposed within the housing 41 of the button function module 5. The button function module 5 also includes a button 55, a second circuit board 72 (PCB board), and an electrical connector 56. The second circuit board 72 is disposed within the housing 41 of the button function module 5. The portion of the button 55 exposed within the housing 41 is located on the outside of the interactive device 3 (when the interactive device 3 is ring-shaped), and the portion of the electrical connector 56 exposed within the housing 41 is located on the inside of the interactive device 3 (when the interactive device 3 is ring-shaped, such as...). Figure 25 (As shown).
[0192] Furthermore, the structure of the electrical connector 56 is not limited and may include one or more sub-electrical connectors 560. For example, Figure 13 As shown, four sub-electrical connectors 560 are provided on the side of the circuit board 7 that connects to the temple. Among them, as shown... Figure 26 As shown, the bottom surface of the groove 24 in the temple 23 is provided with an electrically connected member 25. The structure of the electrically connected member 25 is not limited and may include one or more sub-electrically connected members 250. For example, Figure 26 As shown, four sub-electrical connectors 250 are provided at the corresponding positions of the bottom surface of the groove 24 and the electrical connector 56.
[0193] Furthermore, when multiple pairs of electrical connectors 56 and electrically connected components 25 are provided, each pair of electrical connectors 56 and electrically connected components 25 may have the same function or different functions. For example, four pairs of electrical connectors 56 and electrically connected components 25 are provided, of which two pairs are used for signal communication and the other two pairs are used for charging.
[0194] It should be noted that the number of buttons 55 in button function module 5 is not limited; there can be one or more. Those skilled in the art can design it according to actual needs. For example, such as... Figure 24 As shown, the button function module 5 has three buttons 55 arranged sequentially along the extension direction of the interactive device 3, and there are also three corresponding trigger elements 57.
[0195] like Figure 27 As shown, each touch function module includes a touch sensor 63. The touch sensor 63 is integrated and electrically connected to the first circuit board 71 (FPC board). The first circuit board 71 extends through the housing 41 of the touch function module along the extension direction of the interactive device 3. Correspondingly, the touch sensor 63 is disposed in the housing 41 of the corresponding touch function module.
[0196] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this application without departing from the scope of this application. Therefore, if such modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this application and their equivalents, this application also intends to include such modifications and variations.
