Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of furniture technology, and in particular to a terminal device control method and apparatus, and storage medium based on furniture posture. Background Technology

[0002] In everyday scenarios such as offices and homes, traditional music playback control mainly relies on physical buttons, touch screens, or voice commands. However, when hands are occupied (such as typing or driving), the environment is noisy, or the user is unable to move around easily, the above methods often have problems such as inconvenient operation, response delay, or accidental triggering, making it difficult to meet the needs of an efficient and seamless human-computer interaction experience.

[0003] With the development of smart home technology, natural and seamless human-computer interaction is becoming a trend. Related solutions mainly fall into two categories: one is based on wearable devices, such as relying on accelerometers and gyroscopes built into smart bracelets, rings, or earphones to recognize gestures; the other is based on computer vision, capturing and analyzing user movements through cameras or depth sensors. Both approaches face fundamental challenges: wearable solutions force users to increase their burden, disrupting the natural state in private or leisure settings, and their "intrusiveness" contradicts the initial goal of achieving "seamlessness"; visual solutions are severely limited by ambient light, object obstruction, and user privacy concerns, resulting in a sharp drop in reliability in complex scenarios such as homes.

[0025] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0026] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes a terminal device control method based on furniture posture, a computer-readable storage medium, a terminal device control device based on furniture posture, and furniture according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0027] Before introducing the terminal device control method and apparatus based on furniture posture according to embodiments of the present invention, the furniture of the present invention will be described accordingly, such as... Figure 1 As shown, furniture 1000 is an office chair, which includes a gyroscope sensor 100, a reclining backrest 200, and a data processing unit 300. The gyroscope sensor 100 is located at the bottom of the office chair and is used to detect changes in posture such as rotation, tilt, and forward / backward movement. The data processing unit 300 is located at the bottom of the office chair and connected to the gyroscope sensor 100, and is used to analyze posture change data to identify the user's operating intention. Furthermore, the present invention does not specifically limit the installation position of the gyroscope sensor 100 and the data processing unit 300; for example, the gyroscope sensor 100 can also be located on the reclining backrest 200.

[0028] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a terminal device control method based on furniture posture according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0029] Specifically, in some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the furniture is connected to the terminal device, and the terminal device control method based on the furniture's posture includes: S101, acquire furniture posture change data.

[0030] Specifically, in this embodiment, the furniture is an office chair, with an inertial measurement unit (IMU) fixedly installed on its bottom or back. This IMU includes at least one three-axis gyroscope for continuously detecting the chair's posture changes. By reading the raw data from this sensor, the system acquires real-time raw posture change data characterizing the chair's rotation, tilt, and forward / backward movement, such as the rotational angular velocity around the vertical axis and the pitch angular velocity around the forward / backward axis. Furthermore, the IMU may also include sensors such as accelerometers and magnetometers, thereby obtaining more comprehensive and reliable posture information than a single sensor, significantly improving the accuracy and robustness of posture perception.

[0031] S102, determine the control commands for the terminal device based on the attitude change data.

[0032] Specifically, in this embodiment, the furniture's posture change data includes posture change type and posture change value. The data processing unit receives the posture change data, first filters it, then queries the action-instruction mapping table based on the processed posture change type, and compares the posture change value with a preset change value to determine the control command for the terminal device. For example, if the obtained posture change type is "rotate left" and its cumulative rotation angle is calculated to be 35 degrees, the system immediately queries the mapping table and finds that the command mapped to "rotate left" is "previous track". Simultaneously, the system compares the calculated 35 degrees with a preset trigger threshold (e.g., 25 degrees). Since 35 degrees > 25 degrees, it is determined to be a valid control action, and the data processing unit ultimately determines and outputs the "previous track" control command. Conversely, if the user only slightly rotates left by 15 degrees (not reaching the threshold), no command will be triggered, thus effectively preventing accidental operation.

[0033] S103 controls the terminal equipment according to the control instructions.

[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment, the data processing unit encapsulates the determined control command (such as "previous track") into a specific wireless communication protocol data packet. This data packet is then sent to a paired terminal device, such as a smartphone or Bluetooth speaker, via an integrated Bluetooth Low Energy module. Upon receiving the command, the terminal device executes the corresponding media playback control operation through its operating system or music playback application, thus enabling control without direct user operation of the terminal device.

[0035] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the furniture posture change data includes posture change type and posture change value.

[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, the furniture's posture change data includes posture change type and posture change value. The posture change type is a qualitative description of the direction of movement, such as "rotating to the left"; the posture change value is the corresponding quantitative physical quantity, such as "35-degree angle" or "angular velocity of 20 degrees per second". The system decouples the sensor signals into these two dimensions through an algorithm, providing a basis for accurate motion determination.

[0037] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, both attitude change types and control commands include multiple types, and the attitude change types and control commands are set in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment, the system pre-stores a complete action-command mapping table in the firmware. This mapping table defines the precise control command sent to the terminal device corresponding to each identifiable physical posture change. This one-to-one deterministic relationship is the core logic of the system in transforming natural actions into effective control. A typical embodiment of the specific mapping relationship includes, but is not limited to: when a posture change of furniture (such as an office chair) rotating to the left is detected, the system maps and generates a control command to "play the previous track"; when a posture change of rotating to the right is detected, the system maps and generates a control command to "play the next track"; when a posture change of moving forward is detected, the system maps and generates a control command to "increase the volume"; when a posture change of moving backward is detected, the system maps and generates a control command to "decrease the volume"; when a posture change of tilting to the left is detected, the system maps and generates a control command to "pause playback"; when a posture change of tilting to the right is detected, the system maps and generates a control command to "start / continue playback"; when a posture change of leaning back is detected, the system maps and generates a control command to "switch playlists" or "change playback mode". Through pre-configured mapping logic, users can trigger comprehensive and diverse control functions of media playback devices through a series of intuitive and natural gestures without having to learn complex commands, greatly enhancing the richness and convenience of the interaction.

[0039] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, determining the control command of the terminal device based on the attitude change data includes: when the attitude change value is greater than a preset change value, determining the control command corresponding to the attitude change type as the control command of the terminal device.

[0040] Specifically, in this embodiment, the system sets an action trigger threshold (i.e., a preset change value) to prevent false triggering. For example, the system only determines a valid control intention and generates a "previous track" command when the angle change value for "rotating to the left" is greater than 25 degrees. If the angle change is less than this threshold, it is considered an unintentional minor tremor and ignored. This significantly improves the accuracy and anti-interference capability of the control.

[0041] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the posture change types include multiple types such as rotating to the left, rotating to the right, moving forward, moving backward, tilting to the left, tilting to the right, and leaning backward. Moreover, the present invention may not specifically limit the number of posture change types.

[0042] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the method further includes: after acquiring the posture change data of the furniture, filtering the posture change data.

[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, filtering is a key step in data preprocessing. The system can employ digital filtering algorithms (such as Kalman filtering or complementary filtering) to process the acquired posture change data in real time. Its main purpose is to filter out high-frequency noise and DC drift caused by slight adjustments in posture or environmental vibrations, extracting smooth and effective posture change signals that accurately reflect the user's control intentions, thus laying a solid foundation for subsequent accurate action recognition.

[0044] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the furniture includes a Bluetooth module, and the furniture is connected to a terminal device via the Bluetooth module. Preferably, the Bluetooth module is a communication module supporting Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology (such as BLE 5.0).

[0045] Furthermore, the control method of this invention possesses scenario scalability. By updating or expanding the "action-command mapping table," the same posture action can be mapped to control commands in different scenarios, thereby achieving broad control over various terminal devices and applications without changing the hardware foundation. For example, in an office presentation scenario, "rotate left" can be mapped to the command "previous page of PPT," and "rotate right" can be mapped to the command "next page of PPT," enabling contactless page turning of presentations by controlling the computer. In a smart home scenario, "lean back" can be mapped to the command "dim the lights," adjusting ambient lighting by controlling the smart lighting system. This design makes this invention no longer limited to a single music control function, but rather a universal, natural posture-based intelligent interaction platform, greatly enhancing the practical value and applicability of the technology.

[0046] Furthermore, in some other embodiments of the present invention, in order to improve the flexibility and adaptability of control, the furniture-integrated control system may also be extended to include a voice recognition module, thereby realizing a dual interaction mode combining "posture control" and "voice control".

[0047] It should be noted that the furniture can also include smart sofas or gaming chairs, which greatly expands its application scenarios and commercial value.

[0048] In summary, the furniture posture-based terminal device control method according to the embodiments of the present invention acquires furniture posture change data, determines control commands for the terminal device based on the posture change data, and controls the terminal device according to the control commands. This achieves seamless and natural contactless interaction, effectively eliminates dependence on additional wearable devices and related privacy concerns, improves user acceptance, and achieves deep and seamless integration of intelligent interaction with the daily home environment.

[0049] Based on the furniture posture-based terminal device control method proposed in the foregoing embodiments of the present invention, the present invention also proposes a computer-readable storage medium storing a furniture posture-based terminal device control program thereon. When the furniture posture-based terminal device control program is executed by a processor, it implements the furniture posture-based terminal device control method of the present invention described above.
