It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts related to the present invention, rather than all structures, are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0021] Embodiment 1

[0022] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of an XR device 10 in an embodiment of the present utility model, such as Figure 1As shown, the XR device 10 of the utility model includes a visible light communication module 102, a wireless communication module 103 and a data acquisition unit 101; the data acquisition unit 101 is used to collect original data; the visible light communication module 102 is used to transmit the original data to the data processing device 105 through the visible light signal receiver 104 according to the first communication protocol; the wireless communication module 103 is used to receive the data processed by the data processing device 105 according to the second communication protocol.

[0023] In this embodiment, the data acquisition unit 101 is set in the XR device 10, that is, in the head display device, for collecting raw data, wherein the raw data includes but is not limited to the collected audio and video and sensor data. The visible light communication module 102 may be a module that uses visible light communication technology for communication. The visible light communication module 102 is used to transmit the above-mentioned collected raw data to the data processing device 105 through the visible light signal receiver 104 according to the first communication protocol, wherein the visible light signal receiver 104 may be a device directly used to receive the light signal emitted by the device, and the data processing device 105 may be a device for processing data. The first communication protocol is the visible light communication protocol. The wireless communication module 103 uses a module for mobile communication, wireless communication, and Bluetooth for communication. The wireless communication module 103 is used to receive the data processed by the data processing device 105 according to the second communication protocol. Among them, the second communication protocol is a radio communication protocol using electromagnetic wave communication, and the radio communication protocol includes: a mobile communication protocol and a short-range communication protocol. Exemplary, mobile communication protocols such as 3G, 4G, 5G, etc., short-range communication protocols such as Bluetooth, zigbee, Wi-Fi, etc.

[0024] On the basis of the above utility model, the visible light communication module 102 is fixed on the top of the XR device 10 in a strip-shaped fixing manner.

[0025] In the present invention, fixing on the top of the XR device 10 can ensure that light is not blocked during dynamic use and maintain stable communication. The top strip fixing method ensures that the structure is stable.

[0026] The XR device 10 in the present invention utilizes a novel visible light communication technology to separate data collection and processing processes and transmit raw data in real time, thereby outsourcing data processing, reducing the weight and power consumption of the device, and optimizing the user experience.

[0027] In a specific implementation, the uplink data is usually the original data collected by the XR device 10, which has a large amount of data and high sensitivity, involving user privacy. However, the optical communication scheme is not easy to be intercepted by a third party and has high security. The downlink data volume is relatively small, so it is not necessary or necessary to use visible light communication for communication.

[0028] In the present invention, the XR device processes uplink data and downlink data respectively through different communication protocols. The frequencies of the two technologies are very different and do not interfere with each other, ensuring security while taking into account the stability of uplink and downlink data transmission. According to the usage scenario, the characteristics of the two types of communication protocols are fully utilized.

The visible light signal receiver 104 is used to receive the raw data and transmit it to the data processing device 105; the data processing device 105 is used to process the raw data. In different embodiments, the data processing device 105 may include a cloud server or a local data processing device.

[0030] In the present invention, multiple XR devices 10 are supported to share a visible light signal receiver 104 and a data processing device 105, which can reduce costs and improve device interoperability. In this system, the VR device transmits raw data to the visible light signal receiver 104 through the visible light communication module 102, and the latter sends the data to the data processing device 105 to achieve high-speed data processing. This utility model significantly improves data transmission efficiency, while reducing the weight and power consumption of the device, and significantly improves the user experience.
