[0022] To make the content of this invention easier to understand, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Identical components are represented by the same reference numerals. It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "up," and "down" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings, while the terms "inner" and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.

[0023] Example 1:

[0024] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides a smart operating finger suitable for the elderly, including: a finger sleeve body 1, a central processor 10 disposed on the finger sleeve body 1, and a miniature camera 3 disposed at the fingertip of the finger sleeve body 1; the finger sleeve body 1 has preset flexibility and is made of highly elastic silicone material, which can bend naturally according to the degree of joint flexion, ensuring comfortable wear in various hand postures without causing any obstruction of movement, and has anti-slip texture inside to effectively prevent slippage during use and improve operational stability; an elastic band 11 is provided at the end away from the fingertip, the elastic band 11 is made of elastic material, which can adapt to different finger thicknesses to ensure stability and comfort; the fingertip of the finger sleeve body 1 has an installation hole 2, the installation hole 2 is used to install the miniature camera. The miniature camera 3 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The mounting hole 2 is used to ensure that the camera 3 is installed accurately and can face the smartphone screen to obtain the best shooting angle. The miniature camera 3 is electrically connected to the central processor 10 to ensure the stability and real-time performance of image data transmission. The central processor 10 is used to receive and process information data from various components. It can quickly and accurately recognize interface text, understand operation procedures, and provide clear voice prompts through the miniature speaker 6. The entire operation process does not require additional handheld devices and is completely in line with the natural movement of the fingers, reducing the threshold for use and enabling the elderly to use smartphones and other smart devices independently and conveniently. This effectively solves the problem of inconvenience in using smart devices for the elderly due to illiteracy or decreased vision.

[0025] The central processor 10 includes the following modules:

[0026] The speech recognition module uses deep learning algorithms to receive and recognize the speech commands of the elderly; it supports multiple dialects; it is optimized and trained for the language characteristics of the elderly, and can accurately recognize the speech commands of the elderly. Even if the elderly speak slowly, at a low volume, or with a heavy accent, this module can still recognize them. It covers dozens of dialects, and adopts adaptive noise reduction technology during the recognition process to effectively filter environmental noise and improve the recognition accuracy.

[0027] The text recognition module is used to recognize image information transmitted by the miniature camera 3 and scanner 4. It can recognize multiple fonts and transmit the recognized data to the speech synthesis module. Specifically, this module adopts an optical character recognition algorithm, which can accurately recognize image information transmitted by the miniature camera 3 and scanner 4. This module has been specially trained for interfaces commonly used by the elderly and can recognize text of various fonts, sizes, and colors. The recognition accuracy for small fonts and low-contrast text is improved to 85%-90%. In addition, this module also supports multilingual recognition and can simultaneously recognize mixed Chinese and English interfaces. The recognition results are transmitted to the speech synthesis module through a high-speed data channel to ensure real-time response.

[0028] The speech synthesis module uses a natural language processing algorithm to generate speech prompts at a moderate speed, controlled at 80-110 words per minute, with adjustable volume. It is used to convert the text content recognized by the text recognition module into speech, which is then output through a miniature speaker 6 to ensure that the elderly can fully understand the content of the corresponding interface on the smart device.

[0029] A communication module is used to communicate with external smart devices, supporting Bluetooth and Wi-Fi modes to ensure a stable connection between the invention and external smart devices;

[0030] The memory stores a text recognition model, a voice command library, and a database. The text recognition model continuously optimizes and improves the accuracy and speed of text recognition. The voice command library covers a variety of voice commands and can be customized according to different users, enabling the elderly to achieve multiple functions through simple voice operations. The database contains a large amount of data related to the elderly's usage habits and device functions, providing strong data support for the stable operation and personalized services of the entire intelligent operating finger system.

[0031] The finger sleeve body 1 has a thickened layer 5, on which a miniature speaker 6 is provided. The surface of the thickened layer 5 is covered with a microporous breathable membrane to ensure the comfort and breathability of the fingers during long-term wear, without affecting finger dexterity. The miniature speaker 6 is electrically connected to the central processor 10, enabling timely transmission of voice information from the text recognition module, thus meeting the needs of elderly users with different hearing requirements. A scanner 4 is provided on one working surface of the finger sleeve body 1. The scanner 4 can perform 360° scanning, effectively covering the entire screen or most of the area of ​​the smart device. It is electrically connected to the central processor 10 to ensure that the scanned data can be transmitted and processed in real time. The design of the miniature camera 3 and the scanner 4 is not comprehensive. The miniature camera 3 is used to identify visual elements such as interface text, button labels, and menu items. The scanner 4 is used to determine structural information such as button positions, spacing between interface elements, and operating area range. The combination of the two allows for a more comprehensive understanding of the interface information.

[0032] like Figure 3-4 As shown, a sensor 9 is provided on the inner wall of the finger sleeve body 1. The sensor 9 is used to detect the entry of a finger. When the sensor 9 detects that a finger has entered the finger sleeve body 1, it activates the central processor 10 to prevent accidental touch when the invention is not in use. A control button 7 is provided on the outer wall of one side of the finger sleeve body 1. The control button 7 is used to control the start and stop of the invention. When an elderly person puts their index finger into the invention, they can turn the invention on or off by lightly touching the control button 7 with their thumb. The operation method of the control button 7 is as follows: press once to turn on, press twice to turn off, rotate left to increase the volume, and rotate right to decrease the volume. A battery 8 is provided on the other side of the finger sleeve body 1. The battery 8 is used to provide power support for the invention. The battery 8 is 2mm thick and is embedded inside the finger sleeve body 1 without affecting the wearing comfort. It has a capacity of 200mAh and can provide up to 24 hours of continuous use.

[0033] In use, the elderly person wears the finger sleeve 1 on their index finger, ensuring that the miniature camera 3 is pointed at the screen to be recognized. At this time, the elderly person uses their thumb to press the control button 7 to start the invention. The text recognition module of the miniature camera 3 and the scanner 4 automatically recognizes the text content in the image. The text recognition module uses a deep learning model to process the recognition results. Then, the speech synthesis module converts the recognized text into speech, which is played to the elderly person through the miniature speaker 6. During this process, if the elderly person does not hear clearly, they can say "I didn't hear clearly" to the invention. At this time, the speech recognition module will transmit the request to the speech synthesis module, which will repeat the above speech content.

[0034] Example 2:

[0035] The rest is the same as in Implementation 1, except that the central processor 10 also includes an alarm module. This module has multiple sets of sensitive keywords preset, such as "transfer", "password", "verification code", "refund", "winning", "investment", "financial management" and other key operation words, covering sensitive operation scenarios that the elderly may encounter when using commonly used applications such as WeChat, Alipay, and bank apps. The keyword library adopts a dynamic update mechanism, and children can remotely add or modify sensitive keywords through the accompanying mobile application to achieve personalized security protection. When the text recognition module recognizes the corresponding sensitive keyword, it triggers an alarm and transmits it to an external smart device through the communication module. At the same time, the voice synthesis module will issue an alarm reminder through the miniature speaker 6. Through the dual feedback mechanism, it ensures that the elderly can clearly understand the current operation risk, and their children can intervene remotely in a timely manner.

[0036] It should be noted that the sensitive information processing of the alarm module is completed entirely locally on the device and will not upload sensitive data to the cloud, ensuring the privacy and security of the elderly. At the same time, this module provides a privacy protection mode, where users can choose not to record sensitive operation history, further protecting personal information security.

[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
