[0002] Existing devices or systems for detecting parameters of organisms in containers such as aquariums or fish tanks typically use infrared or ultrasonic sensors alone to detect organism-related parameters, or use image processing technology alone to detect organism-related parameters. However, when both sensors and image processing technology are set up in the device or system to detect organism parameters, the sensors and image processing technology are always working simultaneously. This leads to an increase in the total power consumption of the device or system, resulting in higher power consumption and a shorter battery life, thus reducing the user experience of using the device.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0014] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "fixed," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; 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; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0015] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 A flowchart of a parameter acquisition and control method provided in an embodiment of this application is shown. The parameter acquisition and control method is applied to a camera, which includes an image sensor and a low-power sensor. The camera is mounted on the side wall of a container for monitoring organisms within the container. The method includes: S1: Obtain parameters to meet requirements; S2: Based on the parameter acquisition requirements, determine a parameter acquisition device suitable for the parameter acquisition requirements, wherein the parameter acquisition device is at least one of the image sensor and the low-power sensor; S3: Obtain parameters that meet the parameter acquisition requirements through the parameter acquisition device.

[0016] This application can obtain the parameter acquisition requirements, and then determine a suitable parameter acquisition device based on the parameter acquisition requirements. When the suitable parameter acquisition device is either the image sensor or the low-power sensor, the other sensor can be put into a sleep state. Compared with the prior art, this can reduce the total power consumption of the camera, thereby reducing the power consumption of the camera. Furthermore, for some cameras that require charging before use, this can extend the battery life of such cameras, avoid frequent charging, and improve the user experience of using the camera.

[0017] Specifically, in some embodiments, the user sets the parameters that the camera needs to acquire. The parameter acquisition requirements can be obtained based on the user's settings, and then a suitable parameter acquisition device can be determined based on the parameter acquisition requirements. The parameter acquisition device is at least one of the image sensor and the low-power sensor. When the user does not set the parameters that the camera needs to acquire, the parameter acquisition requirements are obtained based on the parameters that need to be acquired set in the factory settings.

[0018] Specifically, the camera can be installed on the side wall of the container. In some embodiments, the camera is attached to the side wall of the container by Velcro, which includes a first Velcro and a second Velcro. One side of the first Velcro is attached to the side wall of the container, and the hook side (or loop side) of the first Velcro is attached to the loop side (or hook side) of the second Velcro. The other side of the second Velcro is attached to the lens of the camera. The Velcro has holes to expose the lens of the camera to obtain images inside the container.

[0019] In other embodiments, the camera is mounted on the side wall of the container via a snap-fit ​​structure, with one side of the snap-fit ​​structure adhered to the side wall of the container and the other side of the snap-fit ​​structure fixedly connected to the camera.

[0020] In other embodiments, the camera is magnetically attached to the side wall of the container. The housing around the lens of the camera is a metal housing, and a magnetic element is attached to the side wall of the container. The magnetic element attracts the metal housing to attach the camera to the side wall of the container. Alternatively, a first magnetic element is attached to the side wall of the container, and a second magnetic element is attached to the lens of the camera. The camera is attached to the side wall of the container by the magnetic attraction of the first and second magnetic elements.

[0021] It is understood that the installation of the camera on the side wall of the container is not limited to the above installation scheme, and can be set according to actual needs.

[0022] In some embodiments, the container can be a transparent container such as an aquarium, fish tank, or glass tank. In this case, the camera can be installed on the outer or inner wall of the container to obtain the required parameters, depending on the actual situation. In other embodiments, when the container is an opaque container such as a foam box or plastic box, the camera needs to be installed on the inner wall of the container with the lens facing inward.

[0023] Specifically, in some embodiments, when aquatic organisms are cultured in the container, the camera is installed on the outer wall of the container with its lens facing inwards to monitor the aquatic organisms inside. Alternatively, the camera may be waterproof, allowing it to remain submerged in the water within the container, in which case it can be installed on the inner wall of the container. In other embodiments, when non-aquatic organisms such as reptiles and birds are cultured in the container, the camera may be selectively installed on either the outer or inner wall of the container.

[0024] In some embodiments, determining a suitable parameter acquisition device based on the parameter acquisition requirements specifically includes: When the parameter acquisition requirement is to acquire a first type of parameter and / or a second type of parameter, the low-power sensor is determined to be a suitable parameter acquisition device for the requirement, wherein the first type of parameter can be acquired by the image sensor or the low-power sensor, and the second type of parameter can be acquired by the low-power sensor; or... When the parameter acquisition requirement is to acquire a third type of parameter, or to acquire both the first type of parameter and the third type of parameter, the image sensor is determined to be the appropriate parameter acquisition device for the parameter acquisition requirement, wherein the third type of parameter can be acquired by the image sensor.

[0025] Therefore, by determining that the parameter acquisition requirement is to acquire at least one of the first type of parameters, the second type of parameters, and the third type of parameters, it is determined that the parameter acquisition device suitable for the parameter acquisition requirement can be either an image sensor or a low-power sensor. When the parameter acquisition device suitable for the parameter acquisition requirement is working, the other sensor can be put into a sleep state. Compared with the prior art, the total power consumption of the camera can be reduced, thereby reducing the power consumption of the camera. Furthermore, for some cameras that require charging before use, the battery life of such cameras can be extended, avoiding frequent charging and improving the user experience.

[0026] The image sensor is used to acquire images. The specific acquisition parameters are executed by the image processor within the camera. However, since acquiring images is a necessary condition for the image processor to work, it can be simply described as acquiring images through the image sensor.

[0027] Specifically, when the parameter acquisition requirement is to acquire the first type of parameters, although the first type of parameters can be acquired by the image sensor and the low-power sensor respectively, since the low-power sensor consumes less power than the image sensor, the first type of parameters are acquired by the low-power sensor alone, and the image sensor and image processor and other related components are put into a sleep state.

[0028] When the parameter acquisition requirement is to acquire the second type of parameter, or to acquire both the first type of parameter and the second type of parameter, since the second type of parameter can only be acquired through the low-power sensor, the low-power sensor is used to acquire the second type of parameter alone, or to acquire both the first type of parameter and the second type of parameter, and the image sensor and image processor and other related components are put into a sleep state.

[0029] When the parameter acquisition requirement is to acquire a third type of parameter, or to acquire both the first type of parameter and the third type of parameter, since the third type of parameter can only be acquired through the image sensor, the third type of parameter is acquired by the image sensor working alone, or by acquiring both the first type of parameter and the third type of parameter, and the low-power sensor is put into a sleep state.

[0030] In some embodiments, the first type of parameter is at least one of the following: the number of organisms, the movement parameter, the size parameter, the health indicator parameter, and the distribution within the container; the second type of parameter is at least one of the following: the body surface temperature parameter, the blood oxygen saturation parameter, the respiratory rate parameter, and the internal organ parameter; and the third type of parameter is the species of organism and the color parameter among the physiological characteristics.

[0031] Specifically, the number of organisms, physiological characteristics such as movement parameters, size parameters, health indicators, and distribution within the container can be obtained by one of the low-power sensor and the image sensor. However, body surface temperature, blood oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, and internal organ parameters can only be detected by the low-power sensor. Therefore, when the parameter acquisition requirement is to obtain the aforementioned second type of parameters, or to obtain both the aforementioned first type and second type of parameters, the required parameters can be obtained by the low-power sensor working alone, and the image sensor and image processor and other related components can enter a sleep state.

[0032] Furthermore, it is known that the color parameter among the physiological characteristics of organisms can only be detected by the image sensor. Therefore, when the parameter acquisition requirement is to obtain the specific third type of parameter mentioned above, or to obtain the specific first type of parameter and the third type of parameter mentioned above, the required parameters can be obtained through the image sensor, and the low-power sensor can enter a sleep state.

[0033] In summary, this solution allows only one sensor to operate under specific requirements, which reduces the total power consumption of the camera compared to existing technologies, thereby reducing the camera's power consumption. Furthermore, for some cameras that require charging before use, it can extend the battery life of such cameras, avoid frequent charging, and improve the user experience of using the camera.

[0034] In some embodiments, determining a suitable parameter acquisition device based on the biological species and the parameter acquisition requirements specifically includes: When the parameter acquisition requirement is to acquire the second type of parameters and the third type of parameters, or to acquire the first type of parameters, the second type of parameters and the third type of parameters, the parameter acquisition devices suitable for the parameter acquisition requirement are determined to be the low-power sensor and the image sensor.

[0035] It is understood that only in this case can the image sensor and the low-power sensor work simultaneously. In other cases, only one sensor works to obtain the required parameters. Therefore, the overall solution of this application can reduce the total power consumption of the camera as much as possible compared with the prior art, thereby reducing the power consumption of the camera.

[0036] In some embodiments, when the low-power sensor monitors the number of organisms, it detects the total number of organisms in the container, while the image sensor monitors the species of organisms and the number of organisms of each species.

[0037] In some embodiments, the method further includes: When the parameters of the distribution of the organism within the container are obtained, the location information of the organism is marked on a drawing based on the obtained parameters to obtain a distribution drawing related to the distribution of the organism within the container.

[0038] Therefore, based on the obtained parameters of the distribution of the organisms in the container, they are marked on a virtual map to obtain a distribution map, which allows users to see the distribution of the organisms in the container more intuitively and obtain more accurate information related to the organisms based on the distribution map.

[0039] In some embodiments, since the aforementioned low-power sensor can detect parameters other than color parameters and species of organisms among the physiological characteristic parameters, the low-power sensor in this application may include an ultrasonic detection sensor with ultrasonic detection technology and an infrared detection sensor with infrared detection technology. The low-power sensor can directly detect the 2D and / or 3D distribution of organisms in the container to draw a specific distribution map. The map can be marked with specific distance information, the first type of parameter and the second type of parameter, etc. for each organism.

[0040] In some embodiments, the 2D and 3D distribution of organisms within the container can be obtained through the image sensor (two or more cameras can be installed to obtain the 3D distribution), so as to draw a specific distribution map. The map can be marked with specific distance information, first type parameters, and third type parameters of each organism.

[0041] This setting allows users to selectively generate drawings based on their actual needs. When the user does not need a distribution drawing, only the parameters of the distribution of the organisms in the container are displayed. When the user selects that a distribution drawing is needed, then the distribution drawing will be generated and displayed.

[0042] In some embodiments, the method further includes: The low-power sensor and / or the image sensor are controlled to detect and acquire environmental parameters around the container and / or environmental parameters inside the container in real time.

[0043] Thus, by obtaining environmental parameters around the container and / or inside the container in real time, users can know the environmental parameter information and obtain more accurate information about the living conditions of organisms based on the environmental parameter information.

[0044] In some embodiments, the low-power sensor can be categorized into various types based on its function, such as a rain / snow sensor, a temperature sensor, an infrared detection sensor, and an ultrasonic detection sensor. For example, if the container is placed outdoors by a user, and the rain / snow sensor detects that it is snowing or raining outside, the user can immediately move the container indoors to avoid affecting the health of the organism.

[0045] In some embodiments, the low-power sensor also includes a pH sensor, an oxygen content sensor, etc. If the camera is installed on the outer wall of the container, this type of sensor can detect parameters such as pH and oxygen content through a probe that extends into the container.

[0046] In some embodiments, the image sensor can be used to monitor the water quality inside the container, and can also be used to observe the environment outside the container through the container.

[0047] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 A flowchart of a parameter acquisition and control method provided in another embodiment of this application. The method further includes: S4: Acquire the image captured by the image sensor; S5: Determine the feeding result of the organism in the container based on the image, wherein the feeding result is one of either the organism in the container being fed or the organism in the container not being fed.

[0048] Therefore, based on image processing technology, the feeding results of the organisms in the container can be obtained. Users can know the feeding status of the organisms in the container, avoid forgetting to feed them and affecting their health, so as to better care for the organisms and improve their survival rate.

[0049] In some embodiments, when a human hand appears in an image captured by an image sensor, it is determined whether food has been placed into the container. If food falls, the result is that the organism in the container has been fed; otherwise, the result is that the organism in the container has not been fed.

[0050] In some embodiments, the user can set a feeding time, and the camera can focus on monitoring whether food is being fed within a time range based on that feeding time.

[0051] In some embodiments, the camera is also equipped with an alarm that sounds when no food is fed within a time frame based on the feeding time, to remind the user to feed the child.

[0052] In some embodiments, the camera further includes a communication unit, through which the camera communicates with a terminal device; the method further includes: The acquired parameters are sent to the terminal device through the communication unit, and the terminal device performs corresponding operations based on the received parameters.

[0053] Therefore, the terminal device can receive the aforementioned parameters, allowing users to more intuitively understand the parameters and related information.

[0054] The terminal device can be an electronic device such as a mobile phone, smartwatch, computer, or tablet.

[0055] In some embodiments, the terminal device performs corresponding operations based on the received parameters, including: The terminal device outputs a prompt message based on the received parameters.

[0056] Therefore, the terminal device can receive the aforementioned parameters and issue prompts based on the parameters, allowing users to more intuitively understand the parameters and related information.

[0057] In some embodiments, the user can also adjust the parameter acquisition requirements and camera mode on the terminal device.

[0058] In some embodiments, the terminal device may also display the aforementioned distribution map, feeding results, etc. When the terminal device displays the distribution map, the user can adjust the position of the map. If the map is a 3D map, the 3D view of the container can be flipped in a 3D space.

[0059] In some embodiments, the prompt information includes at least one of text prompt information, sound prompt information, image prompt information, and video prompt information.

[0060] Thus, users can more intuitively understand the parameters and related prompts through at least one of the following prompts: text prompts, sound prompts, image prompts, and video prompts.

[0061] For example, if the user does not feed the creature, the camera will transmit the result to the terminal device, which can then send a pop-up text message to remind the user to feed it in time, or the terminal device can broadcast a voice message to remind the user to feed it in time.

[0062] In some embodiments, the camera further includes a display screen for displaying the acquired parameters, and the method further includes: At least one parameter is obtained and sent to the display screen, which then displays the corresponding information based on the received parameter.

[0063] Thus, users can see the acquired parameters more intuitively through the display screen, so that they can understand the survival status of the organism.

[0064] In some embodiments, in addition to displaying the aforementioned parameters, the display screen may also display the aforementioned distribution map, feeding results, etc. When the display screen displays the distribution map, the user can adjust the position of the map by touch screen operation. If the map is a 3D map, the 3D map of the container can be flipped in a 3D space.

[0065] In some embodiments, users can also adjust parameters on the display screen to meet their needs and the camera mode via touch screen operation.

Compared with the prior art, this can reduce the total power consumption of the camera 100, thereby reducing the power consumption of the camera. Furthermore, for some cameras 100 that require charging to be used, this can extend the battery life of such cameras 100, avoid frequent charging, and improve the user experience of using the camera 100.
