[0033] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0034] The utility model provides a pair of smart glasses, comprising a frame (101) and two temples (102) extending from two ends of the frame (101) to the same side; Figure 1-3As shown, the smart glasses also include a camera (1), an indicator light (8), a window (2) and an occlusion detection mechanism. The camera (1) is arranged on the frame (101) or the temple (102) for capturing images or videos. For example, the camera (1) is arranged on the outside of the frame (101) or the temple (102) to capture images or videos from a first-person perspective. The indicator light (8) is used to indicate the working state of the camera (1): for example, the indicator light (8) is on when the camera (1) is in a capturing state, and the indicator light (8) is off when the camera (1) is in a dormant or closed state. A groove is provided on the frame (101), and the window (2) is arranged in the groove to provide a light emitting area for the indicator light (8), that is, the indicator light (8) is arranged in the groove, and the light emitting direction is toward the window (2). The side surface of the window (2) away from the indicator light (that is, the outer surface) can be flush with the outer surface of the frame (101). The smart glasses are also provided with an occlusion detection mechanism, which is used to detect whether the indicator light (8) is blocked. When the detection result of the occlusion detection mechanism shows that the indicator light (8) is blocked, the smart glasses can use one or more methods such as sound, light, electricity, and machinery to send out an alarm signal, or cut off the power supply of the camera (1). In this way, the privacy of surrounding users caused by malicious occlusion of the indicator light (8) can be prevented.
[0035] In an embodiment of the utility model, the obstruction detection mechanism may include one or more sensors. The one or more sensors may be arranged outside the groove, or arranged inside the groove, and in this case, the one or more sensors interact with the outside world through the window (2). Interacting with the outside world through the window (2) means that external signals (such as one or more of sound signals, light signals, and electrical signals) can pass through the window (2) to reach the one or more sensors. Depending on the actual application, the window (2) may be made of breathable material, light-transmitting material, conductive material, etc. In addition, the distance between the obstruction detection mechanism (5) and the indicator light (8) is not greater than 20 mm, such as the distance between one or more sensors and the indicator light (8) is not greater than 20 mm, which can improve the accuracy of the indicator light (8) obstruction detection.
[0036] First embodiment
[0037] The occlusion detection mechanism includes a first sensor (7), which may be a proximity sensor, such as an infrared proximity sensor. Specifically, it may include a transmitting end (71) and a receiving end (72). The transmitting end (71) may emit a detection signal (such as infrared light), and the detection signal emitted by the transmitting end (71) may enter the window (2). The receiving end (72) may receive the detection signal transmitted through the window (2). The infrared proximity sensor senses whether the indicator light (8) is blocked. When the indicator light (8) is blocked, the smart glasses control the camera (1) to turn off or send an alarm signal, thereby avoiding malicious blocking. At the same time, the infrared proximity sensor is used as the occlusion detection mechanism to avoid the influence of ambient light or the light of the indicator light (8). In addition, to be applicable to other application scenarios, the first sensor (7) may also be an ambient light sensor or other types of sensors, which may be determined according to the scene requirements and are not limited here.
[0038] As mentioned above, the occlusion detection mechanism may also include a plurality of sensors.
[0039] Second embodiment
[0040] The occlusion detection mechanism may include a first sensor (7) and a second sensor (6), wherein the first sensor (7) and the second sensor (6) are different sensors. For example, the first sensor (7) is a light sensor and the second sensor (6) is an ultrasonic sensor, or the first sensor (7) is a proximity sensor and the second sensor (6) is an ambient light sensor. Using multiple sensors of different types can meet different requirements of more application scenarios and improve the universality of occlusion detection.
[0041] Furthermore, the first sensor (7) and the second sensor (6) can be integrated into a module (such as an ambient light and proximity sensing integrated chip). This can reduce the space occupied by the entire occlusion detection mechanism, which is conducive to the miniaturization of smart glasses.
[0042] In some examples, the first sensor (7) and the second sensor (6) are respectively a proximity sensor and an ambient light sensor. In this case, the information collection path of the proximity sensor can pass through the light emitting area of the indicator light (8). The information collection path of the proximity sensor can be a signal propagation path of the proximity sensor. For example, when the proximity sensor is an infrared proximity sensor, the information collection path includes an infrared light propagation path. In some examples, the light emitting area of the indicator light (8) includes at least a portion of the window (2). In this case, the infrared light propagation path passes through the at least a portion of the window (2). On the one hand, the proximity sensor and the indicator light (8) share the light emitting area, which can further save the space occupied by the occlusion detection mechanism and facilitate the miniaturization of the glasses. On the other hand, if the light emitting area of the indicator light (8) is blocked, the information collection path of the proximity sensor is interrupted, and the smart glasses will inevitably send an alarm signal or cut off the power supply of the camera (1), which can avoid the situation where the indicator light (8) is maliciously blocked while the camera (1) is still working.
[0043] The above-mentioned first and second embodiments describe the case where the occlusion detection structure includes one sensor and two sensors. In practical applications, other numbers of sensors can be provided according to actual requirements, which are not listed here one by one.
[0044] In the above embodiment, a light guide (4) may be provided between the window (2) and the indicator light (8). The light guide (4) may include a first surface and a second surface, wherein the first surface is provided close to the window (2) and the second surface is provided close to the indicator light (8); the light emitted from the indicator light (8) enters the light guide (4) from the second surface and is emitted from the first surface. The light guide (4) is sealed between the window (2) and the indicator light (8), so as to reduce light leakage from the indicator light (8). It should be noted that, in actual applications, the light emitted from the indicator light (8) may be reflected / refracted multiple times before finally being emitted from the first surface.
[0045] In the above-mentioned second embodiment, the infrared proximity sensor can be arranged between the ambient light sensor and the indicator light (8), and in this case, the light guide (4) can also include a third surface different from the first surface and the second surface, wherein the light emitted by the infrared proximity sensor enters the light guide (4) from the third surface and exits from the first surface. Similar to the exit light of the indicator light (8), after the light emitted by the infrared proximity sensor enters the light guide (4) from the third surface, it can be reflected / refracted multiple times and finally exit from the first surface.
[0046] In some embodiments, the light emitted by the indicator light (8) enters the light guide (4) from the second surface and is reflected to the third surface. After being reflected by the third surface, the light continues to propagate inside the light guide (4) until it is emitted from the first surface. In order to enhance the reflection of the light by the third surface, an anti-reflection film may be applied to the third surface.
[0047] In the above-mentioned second embodiment, in order to avoid information interference between the first sensor and the second sensor, a retaining wall may be provided between the first sensor and the second sensor.
[0048] In some examples, a fixed structure may be provided inside the window (2), and the fixed structure seals the first sensor, the second sensor and the indicator light (8) on the same substrate (5). The retaining wall may be a part of the fixed structure, or may be integrally formed with the fixed structure. For example, the fixed structure may be a rubber sleeve (3), and the rubber sleeve may include a first through hole (312) and a second through hole (311) respectively provided on both sides of the retaining wall (33), wherein the first through hole (312) connects the ambient light sensor and the window (2), and the second through hole (311) connects the first surface of the light guide (4) and the window (2). Such a configuration may further reduce light leakage from the indicator light (8) and save space at the same time. In order to ensure the light leakage prevention effect, the lateral dimension of the rubber sleeve (3) is not less than the lateral dimension of the window (2), that is, the projection of the rubber sleeve (3) on the window (2) is larger than the window (2).
[0049] In the above embodiment of the present application, the distance between the outer surface of the window (2) and the temple (102) is smaller than the thickness of the frame (101), that is, the occlusion detection mechanism is completely accommodated inside the frame (101), and the bending of the temple (102) will not affect the accuracy and consistency of the occlusion detection.
[0050] In the above embodiment of the present application, the smart glasses may further include two lenses, the two lenses being respectively mounted on two lens mounting portions on the frame (101), wherein the distance between the centers of the two lenses is smaller than the distance between the window (2) and the camera (1). For example, the window (2) is arranged at the upper left of the left lens, and the camera (1) is arranged at the upper right of the right lens, so that the space of the frame (101) can be fully utilized while maintaining a coordinated and consistent appearance.
