Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of dental instrument management and positioning technology, specifically referring to a rapid tooth positioning system based on audio-visual cues. Background Technology

[0002] In dental treatment, denture fabrication, and dental instrument management scenarios, dentures, dental models, and specialized instruments are numerous, similar in shape, and scattered, making manual retrieval time-consuming and laborious, prone to misplacement, omission, and delays in treatment. Existing positioning methods mostly rely on manual marking or simple barcode scanning, which cannot achieve proactive, rapid, and intuitive on-site positioning; some item-finding systems require dedicated readers, which are costly to deploy and inconvenient to operate, and lack an audio-visual linkage prompt mechanism for small dental items, resulting in insufficient positioning efficiency and ease of use. Therefore, this paper proposes a rapid tooth positioning system based on audio-visual prompts. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rapid tooth positioning system based on audio-visual cues to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a rapid tooth positioning system based on sound and light cues, comprising a computer host, a WiFi router, a smartphone, and at least one electronic tag;

[0005] The computer host is equipped with an audio-visual tooth-finding software system;

[0006] The smartphone mobile terminal is equipped with signal forwarding software;

[0007] The computer host and the smart mobile terminal communicate with each other via WiFi;

[0008] The electronic tag is used to receive instructions and issue audio-visual prompts.

[0009] Furthermore, the electronic tag incorporates a wireless communication module, an audio-visual prompt module, a power supply module, and a control module.

[0010] The control module is electrically connected to the wireless communication module, the audio-visual prompt module, and the power supply module, respectively.

[0011] Furthermore, the audio-visual prompt module includes an LED indicator and a buzzer to achieve dual audio-visual prompts. The LED indicator is used to emit a positioning light signal, and the buzzer is used to emit a positioning sound signal.

[0012] Furthermore, each electronic tag is assigned a unique number and is bound to the target item for accurate retrieval, and is used to identify the target teeth, dentures or dental instruments.

[0013] Furthermore, the sound and light tooth-finding software system has the functions of target retrieval, command issuance, status display, and location recording. The display visually presents the target location, electronic tag status, and location prompt information.

[0014] Furthermore, the intelligent mobile terminal acts as a signal relay, receiving positioning instructions from the computer host and forwarding them to the corresponding electronic tag, thereby expanding signal coverage and improving indoor positioning reliability; the electronic tag normally operates in low-power sleep mode and wakes up after receiving instructions, extending its power supply life; it also has a built-in power detection unit that can provide low-power reminders.

[0015] Furthermore, the power supply module is a button battery. The electronic tag is normally in a low-power sleep state, and wakes up and activates an audio-visual prompt when it receives a positioning command.

[0016] Furthermore, the electronic tag has a built-in power detection unit, which sends a low power signal to the computer host via a wireless communication module when the power level is below a threshold.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0018] 1. This invention provides dual audio-visual cues, enabling rapid target location without close-range scanning, significantly reducing search time;

[0019] 2. This invention reduces deployment costs by utilizing existing WiFi and smart mobile terminals, eliminating the need for additional dedicated base stations;

[0020] 3. This invention utilizes an electronic tag sleep mechanism and a low-power design, resulting in a long battery life and eliminating the need for frequent battery replacements.

[0021] 4. This invention optimizes small items such as dentures, models, and instruments by assigning them unique numbers, resulting in standardized management and accurate retrieval.

[0022] 5. This invention displays status and location information in real time on a computer, facilitating batch management and traceability. Attached Figure Description
