[0030] The following Figures 1 to 2 , through specific embodiments and their application scenarios, will elaborate in detail on the dictionary pen provided by the embodiments of the present utility model.

[0031] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, this embodiment provides a dictionary pen 1, which includes a pen body 11, a scanning component 12, a power supply 13, a display screen 14, and a control main board 15. The scanning component 12, the power supply 13, the display screen 14, and the control main board 15 are all fixed to the pen body 11, and a start key 16 is installed on the pen body 11. The control main board 15 includes a central processing unit 151, a power management module 152, and a wireless communication module 153. The central processing unit 151 is configured to control the power management module 152 to turn on the power supply 13 based on the start signal of the start key 16, and after the power supply 13 is turned on, control the scanning component 12 to turn on the scanning function and control the wireless communication module 153 to upload the scanning content of the scanning component 12 to the cloud 2 for recognition, so that the display screen 14 can display the scanning result of the scanning component 12 after the dictionary pen 1 is powered on.

[0032] It can be understood that the pen body 11 provides an installation support for the scanning component 12, the power supply 13, the display screen 14, and the control main board 15. The scanning component 12 is used to collect image information, and the display screen 14 is used to display the scanning result.

[0033] In practical applications, the user performs an input operation on the start key 16, and the start key 16 generates a trigger signal and feeds it back to the central processing unit 151. The trigger signal includes three signals: a scan start signal, a power-on signal, and a networking signal. The central processing unit 151 receives the three trigger signals, sorts the three trigger signals, and processes them in sequence according to the order of the power-on signal, the scan start signal, and the networking signal. Specifically, first, the central processing unit 151 receives the power-on signal, sends a power-on instruction for the power supply 13 to the power management module 152, controls the power management module 152 to turn on the power supply 13, so that the power supply 13 of the dictionary pen 1 is started, and the entire device is in an on state. Then, while the system and each component of the entire device are performing parameter initialization, the central processing unit 151 receives the scan start signal again. The central processing unit 151 sends an activation instruction to the scanning component 12, and the central processing unit 151 controls the scanning component 12 to perform a scanning operation. At this time, although the dictionary pen 1 is still in the startup phase, the user can already issue a scanning instruction and collect the user's image information through the scanning component 12. Finally, while the dictionary pen 1 is starting up and the scanning component 12 is collecting the user's image information, the central processing unit 151 receives the networking signal, controls the wireless communication module 153 to connect to the cloud 2, and the central processing unit 151 uploads the scanning content of the scanning component 12 to the cloud 2 through the wireless communication module 153. The cloud 2 uses cloud computing to complete the recognition of the scanning content, obtains the recognition data, and sends the recognition data back to the central processing unit 151 through the wireless communication module 153. The central processing unit 151 controls the display screen 14 to display the recognition data.

[0034] Since the start key 16 of this embodiment can directly trigger the power-on of the power supply 13, the activation of the scanning component 12, and the signal transmission of the wireless communication module 153, during the power-on of the power supply 13 and the initialization of the dictionary pen 1, the scanning component 12 can perform scanning synchronously. Moreover, during the power-on of the power supply 13 and the activation of the scanning component 12, the wireless communication module 153 can upload the scanning content to the cloud 2 for image recognition. After the startup of the dictionary pen 1 is completed, the scanning result is immediately displayed on the display screen 14. Since the scanning of the scanning component 12, the processing of the scanning content by the cloud 2, and the startup of the dictionary pen 1 are completed synchronously, compared with the conventional dictionary pen 1, after the dictionary pen 1 is powered on, waiting for the startup of the dictionary pen 1 to be completed, then performing scanning and the recognition of the scanning content, and finally displaying the scanning result, the waiting time of the user during the scanning operation in this embodiment is shorter, and the user can quickly obtain the scanning result.

[0035] Optionally, the dictionary pen 1 of this embodiment can perform word lookup and translation, question search, or object recognition, etc.

[0036] Specifically, the start key 16 can be a button, a knob, or a DIP switch; the central processing unit 151 can be a single-chip microcomputer or a PLC controller.

[0037] The scanning component 12 includes a camera and a fill light. The fill light is used to provide illumination for the camera. The camera can take pictures of large sections of text, pictures of questions, or pictures of scenes and objects to complete the imaging work.

[0038] For the dictionary pen 1 provided by the present utility model, by triggering an input to the start key 16, the central processing unit 151 can control the power management module 152 to turn on the power supply 13, control the scanning component 12 to start scanning, and control the wireless communication module 153 to upload the scanned content to the cloud 2 for image recognition. During the startup process of the dictionary pen 1, scanning and processing of the scanned content are completed synchronously, so that the scanned result can be immediately displayed on the display screen 14 after the dictionary pen 1 is started up, improving the efficiency of picture data processing of the dictionary pen 1, enabling the user not to wait to perform scanning after the startup is completed, and enabling the user to quickly perform scanning and obtain the scanned result after inputting an operation to the start key 16, effectively improving the user experience.

[0039] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 shown, the wireless communication module 153 of this embodiment is a cellular network module.

[0040] It can be understood that the cellular network module allows communication through the cellular network. The cellular network module usually integrates a baseband chip, a memory, and power amplifier devices, providing standardized interface functions, enabling the device to achieve data transmission, with a long transmission distance and strong penetration, and being applicable to various scenarios.

[0041] The cellular network module of this embodiment transfers the processing and storage of data to the cloud 2. Since the cloud computing of the cloud 2 can provide powerful data processing capabilities, the cellular network module can achieve fast data transmission and processing by connecting to the cloud 2 through a high-speed cellular network, thereby significantly reducing latency. Moreover, the cloud 2 can provide an efficient large-scale data set, improving the speed and accuracy of data processing, enabling the scanned content of the scanning component 12 to be quickly recognized and processed in the cloud 2, and improving the efficiency of picture scanning and processing.

[0042] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, the startup time of the power supply 13 of this embodiment is shorter than the startup time of the scanning component 12, and the startup time of the scanning component 12 is shorter than the startup time of the wireless communication module 153.

[0043] It is understandable that since the startup time of the power supply 13 in this embodiment is shorter than that of the scanning component 12, the scanning component 12 does not need to wait extra for the power supply 13 to turn on. The startup of the power supply 13 has been completed earlier than the startup of the scanning component 12. Once the scanning component 12 completes startup, scanning is immediately carried out, and the startup and scanning of the scanning component 12 can be seamlessly connected.

[0044] Moreover, since the startup time of the scanning component 12 is shorter than that of the wireless communication module 153, after the scanning component 12 completes startup, scanning is immediately carried out. The scanning process can be synchronized with the startup time of the wireless communication module 153. After scanning is completed, the wireless communication module 153 starts up, and the uploaded scanning content and the recognition processing of the scanning content can be carried out. There can be a short interval between the completion of scanning and the uploading of the scanning content.

[0045] In this embodiment, by setting the startup time of the power supply 13 to be shorter than that of the scanning component 12 and the startup time of the scanning component 12 to be shorter than that of the wireless communication module 153, the interval time between the startup, scanning of the scanning component 12, and the uploading of the scanning content can be shortened, improving the processing efficiency of the dictionary pen 1.

[0046] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, the startup times of both the power supply 13 and the scanning component 12 in this embodiment are in the millisecond level, and the startup time of the wireless communication module 153 is in the second level.

[0047] It is understandable that the startup time of the power supply 13 in this embodiment is in the millisecond level. For example, the startup of the power supply 13 is completed in 10 milliseconds. The startup time of the scanning component 12 is in the millisecond level. For example, the startup of the scanning component 12 is completed within 100 milliseconds. The startup of the wireless communication module 153 is in the second level. For example, the startup of the wireless communication module 153 is completed within 2 seconds.

[0048] In this embodiment, through the selection of the power supply 13, the scanning component 12, and the wireless communication module 153, the startup times of the power supply 13 and the scanning component 12 are controlled at the millisecond level, and the startup time of the wireless communication module 153 is controlled at the second level. Within 2 seconds, the dictionary pen 1 has completed the startup of the power supply 13, the startup of the scanning component 12, and the startup of the wireless communication module 153. Based on the user experience, the user can start scanning after operating the startup button 16, the reaction speed of the dictionary pen 1 is very fast, and the user experience is good.

[0049] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, this embodiment further includes an indication unit 17. The indication unit 17 is connected to the control main board 15, and the control main board 15 controls the indication unit 17 to provide indication information when the scanning component 12 is in the startup state.

[0050] It is understandable that the indication unit 17 can prompt the user that the scanning component 12 is in the scanning state and can perform scanning, and can also prompt the user that the scanning state has ended, so as to prevent the user from waiting too long or still performing scanning when the scanning state has ended. Based on the prompt of the indication unit 17, the user can easily distinguish between different states of scanning and stopping scanning, improving the intuitiveness of whether to scan and providing a better user experience.

[0051] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, the indication unit 17 of this embodiment is an indicator light or a sound indicator, or an indication pattern is displayed on the display screen 14 as the indication unit 17.

[0052] It is understandable that the indicator light can indicate that the scanning component 12 is in the scanning state and the non-scanning state through different colors. For example, when the indicator light is green, it can indicate that the scanning component 12 is in the scanning state, and when the indicator light is red, it can indicate that the scanning component 12 is in the non-scanning state. Among them, the indicator light can be an LED light. The indicator light uses colors to distinguish between scanning and non-scanning states, enabling the user to intuitively obtain the working state of the scanning component 12 through different colors, which is convenient for operation.

[0053] The sound indicator indicates that the scanning component 12 is in the scanning state and the non-scanning state by playing different prompt sounds. For example, when the sound indicator plays a "beep" sound, it means starting to scan, and when the sound indicator plays a "boop" sound, it means the scanning ends. The sound indicator can prompt the user of different working states of the scanning component 12 through different sounds, and the prompting effect is good.

[0054] The indication pattern can indicate that the scanning component 12 is in the scanning state and the non-scanning state by implementing different indication marks on the display screen 14. For example, when the indication pattern is a pattern of a camera, it means starting to scan, and when the indication pattern is a cross, it means ending the scan. Among them, the indication pattern can be an LCD screen pattern. The indication pattern can intuitively display different working states of the scanning component 12 through different patterns, facilitating the operation of the user.

[0055] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the electronic dictionary pen 1 of this embodiment also has a speaker 18, and the pen body 11 is provided with a sound outlet hole 111, and the sound outlet end of the speaker 18 faces the sound outlet hole 111.

[0056] It is understandable that the speaker 18 can be used to play the scanned content of the electronic dictionary pen 1, such as reading aloud the scanned words and paragraphs, and can also be used to play music or other audio content.

[0057] The speaker 18 transmits sound from the pen body 11 to the outside of the pen body 11 through the sound outlet hole 111. The sound outlet hole 111 serves as the sound channel of the speaker 18, ensuring that the sound of the speaker 18 can be clearly transmitted.

[0058] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 shown, the control main board 15 of this embodiment further includes a voice interaction module 154. The pen body 11 is equipped with a microphone 19 for picking up the audio information of the user. The voice interaction module 154 is electrically connected to both the microphone 19 and the speaker 18.

[0059] It can be understood that by setting the voice interaction module 154 in this embodiment, the audio information of the user can be picked up by the microphone 19, and voice recognition, natural language processing, and voice synthesis can be performed through the voice interaction module 154, and the results can be output through the speaker 18 to realize the interaction between the dictionary pen 1 and the user, without the need for the user to perform manual operations, improving the convenience of operating the dictionary pen 1.

[0060] Specifically, the user can conduct English conversation training, word memorization games, etc. with the dictionary pen 1.

[0061] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 shown, a sound pickup hole is provided on the front surface of the pen body 11 of this embodiment. The microphone 19 is arranged facing the sound pickup hole, and the speaker 18 is located at the top of the pen body 11.

[0062] It can be understood that the sound pickup hole is an opening for receiving the audio information of the user. Since the user operates facing the front surface of the pen body 11, the sound pickup hole is provided on the front surface of the pen body 11 so that the sound pickup hole faces the sound source of the user, enabling the audio information of the user to be collected by the sound pickup hole as much as possible, resulting in a better sound pickup effect. Moreover, in order to prevent the sound emitted by the speaker 18 from entering the sound pickup hole, the speaker 18 is set at the top of the pen body 11, so that the propagation path of the sound emitted by the speaker 18 does not pass through the sound pickup hole, thereby preventing interference between the speaker 18 and the scanning component 12.

[0063] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, the power supply 13 of this embodiment is a rechargeable battery. The pen body 11 is provided with a charging interface, and the charging interface is electrically connected to the rechargeable battery.

[0064] It can be understood that the rechargeable battery can be charged and reused multiple times, reducing the cost of the power supply 13. Moreover, the charging interface can be set as a common USB or TYPE-C interface, and the dictionary pen 1 can be conveniently charged using a general data cable, which is simple and fast.

[0065] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
