DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] Below, the exemplary embodiments according to the present application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application, and it should be understood that the present application is not limited to the exemplary embodiments described herein.

[0036] Figure 1 A schematic structural diagram of a separate virtual reality device provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application.

[0037] Figure 2 A schematic structural diagram of a separate virtual reality device provided in another exemplary embodiment of the present application.

[0038] Figure 3 A schematic structural diagram of a mobile terminal provided in an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 This is a structural block diagram of a separate virtual reality device provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the separate virtual reality device provided in the embodiment of the present application may include a head-mounted device 110 and a mobile terminal 120. The head-mounted device 110 and the mobile terminal 120 are detachably connected. When the mobile terminal 120 is assembled on the head-mounted device 110, after the user wears the separate virtual reality device, the user can view the content displayed on the display screen 121 of the mobile terminal 120 through the lens module in the head-mounted device 110, which has a good immersive effect.

[0039] In one embodiment, the mobile terminal 120 may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, or other terminal products with display, data processing, and computing functions.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the head-mounted device 110 may include a mask 111, which is provided with a light-transmitting portion 112. Specifically, after the user puts on the head-mounted device 110, the target portion on the user's face can block at least a portion of the light-transmitting portion 112. In this way, the light source outside the mask 111 can illuminate the target portion on the user's face through the light-transmitting portion 112, making it easier to detect whether the user has put on the head-mounted device.

[0041] In one embodiment, the target portion on the user's face may include the user's nose, the user's mouth, etc.

[0042] In one embodiment, the target portion on the user's face may be used to completely block the light-transmitting portion 112 , or may be used to block only a portion of the light-transmitting portion 112 .

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, the mobile terminal 120 may include a display screen 121 and a host controller 122, and the display screen 121 is communicatively connected to the host controller 122. Specifically, the host controller 122 may be used to control the display screen 121 to be turned on or off. When the display screen 121 is turned on, the user may view the content displayed on the display screen 121 through the lens module in the head-mounted device 110.

[0044] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the separate virtual reality device may further include an infrared sensor 130, which is provided on the mobile terminal 120. The infrared sensor 130 is communicatively connected to the host controller 122, so that the host controller 122 can control the infrared sensor 130 to emit infrared information. In addition, if the infrared sensor 130 receives a reflected infrared signal, it can also transmit relevant data to the host controller 122.

[0045] It should be noted that the projection of the light-transmitting portion 112 on the first surface of the mobile terminal 120 at least partially overlaps with the projection of the infrared sensor 130 on the first surface. In this way, it can be ensured that the infrared signal emitted by the infrared sensor 130 can reach the target part on the user's face through the light-transmitting portion 112, and it can also be ensured that the infrared sensor 130 can receive the reflected infrared signal reflected back from the target part.

[0046] It should be noted that the first side of the aforementioned mobile terminal 120 can be understood as the side of the mobile terminal 120 close to the user's face.

[0047] Specifically, in actual application, the mobile terminal 120 is mounted on the head-mounted device 110 , and the infrared sensor 130 on the mobile terminal 120 can emit an infrared signal toward the light-transmitting portion 112 . After the user has put on the head-mounted device 110, the infrared signal emitted by the infrared sensor 130 passes through the light-transmitting portion 112 and reaches the target portion on the user's face. Then, after being reflected by the target portion, the infrared sensor 130 can receive the reflected infrared signal. The host controller 122 is in communication with the infrared sensor 130. After receiving the reflected infrared signal, the host controller 122 can determine whether the user has put on the head-mounted device correctly based on the reflected infrared signal. Specifically, if the infrared light value of the emitted infrared signal meets the preset range requirements, the host controller 122 can issue a first comparison signal indicating that the user has put on the head-mounted device correctly. Then, the display screen can be turned on based on the first comparison signal. In this way, the display screen 121 can be automatically turned on when the user has put on the head-mounted device without the need for manual turning on by the user, simplifying the user's operation steps and effectively improving the user experience. In addition, if the infrared light value of the emitted infrared signal does not meet the preset range requirements, the host controller 122 can issue a second comparison signal indicating that the user has put on the head-mounted device incorrectly. The host controller 122 can also remind the user to adjust the head-mounted device based on the second comparison signal, so that the user can adjust the head-mounted device to the correct position in time.

[0048] In one embodiment, after the mobile terminal 120 is removed from the head-mounted device 110, the infrared sensor 130 cannot receive the reflected infrared signal or can only receive a small amount of reflected infrared signal. At this time, the host controller 122 can control the display screen 121 to enter the standby state or control the display screen 121 to turn off to reduce energy consumption.

[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the light-transmitting portion 112 may include a light-transmitting hole, and the infrared signal emitted by the infrared sensor 130 can pass through the light-transmitting hole and reach the target part on the user's face. The light-transmitting hole will not weaken the energy of the infrared signal, which is beneficial for the infrared sensor 130 to accurately detect whether the user has completed wearing it by reflecting the infrared signal.

[0050] In one embodiment, the light-transmitting portion 112 may also include a light-transmitting plate. On the one hand, the light-transmitting plate can transmit the infrared signal emitted by the infrared sensor 130, so that the infrared signal emitted by the infrared sensor 130 can reach the target part on the user's face, and the reflected infrared signal reflected back from the target part can be received by the infrared sensor 130. On the other hand, the light-transmitting plate can prevent the target part on the user's face from being exposed to the external environment, and can play a certain protective role for the target part.

[0051] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the mask 111 is provided with a matching portion 113, and the light-transmitting portion 112 is provided on the matching portion 113. Specifically, after the user wears the head-mounted device 110, the matching portion 113 can match with the nose of the user's face. On the one hand, it can prevent the mask 111 from easily falling off the user's face, and on the other hand, part of the nose can be used as the aforementioned target portion for reflecting the infrared signal emitted by the infrared sensor 130.

[0052] In one embodiment, the light-transmitting portion 112 is provided on one end of the matching portion 113 close to the mobile terminal 120. Specifically, after the user wears the head-mounted device 110, the light-transmitting portion 112 can match with the tip of the nose of the user's face, and at least a portion of the tip of the nose can be used to form the aforementioned target portion. In this way, since the tip of the nose protrudes relative to the user's face, the infrared signal emitted by the infrared sensor 130 can reach the tip of the nose as quickly as possible after passing through the light-transmitting portion 112. The reflected infrared light signal reflected by the tip of the nose can reach the location of the infrared sensor 130 more quickly, which can effectively improve the detection efficiency and detection accuracy.

[0053] In one embodiment, the infrared sensor 130 is spaced apart from the light-transmitting portion 112 , so that the target portion is prevented from contacting the infrared sensor 130 through the light-transmitting portion 112 , thereby preventing the infrared sensor 130 from being interfered with when transmitting and receiving infrared signals, thereby improving the accuracy of the detection result.

[0054] In one embodiment, the distance A between the infrared sensor 130 and the light-transmitting portion 112 satisfies the following relationship: 0 < A ≤ 4 cm. This ensures that the infrared signal emitted by the infrared sensor 130 can reach the light-transmitting portion 112 and that the infrared sensor 130 can receive the reflected infrared signal reflected from the target portion.

[0055] In one embodiment, the distance A can be 1 cm, 2 cm, 4 cm, etc.

[0056] Figure 5 This is a block diagram of the host controller provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 As shown, the host controller 122 may include a signal receiver 1221, a comparator 1222 and a processor 1223. The signal receiver 1221 is communicatively connected to the infrared sensor 130. The signal receiver 1221 may be used to receive the transmitted infrared signal reflected back by the target part. The comparator 1222 is communicatively connected to the signal receiver 1221. The comparator 1222 may be used to compare the reflected infrared signal with the reference signal and output a first comparison signal or a second comparison signal. The processor 1223 may control the display screen 121 to turn on according to the first comparison signal.

[0057] In one embodiment, the signal receiver 1221 primarily receives signals from the channel, converts them into information in the same physical form as when they were transmitted, and then transmits them to the destination, completing the so-called decoding process. The specific structure of the receiver 1221 is described in related art.

[0058] In one embodiment, comparator 1222 can be understood as an electronic component that compares two or more data items to determine whether they are equal, or to determine the magnitude relationship and order of their arrangement. Comparator 1222 is a circuit that compares an analog voltage signal with a reference voltage. The two inputs of comparator 1222 are analog signals, and the output is a binary signal of 0 or 1. When the difference in the input voltage increases or decreases and the sign remains unchanged, the output remains constant. For example, comparator 1222 may include a voltage comparator, a window comparator, a hysteresis comparator, etc.

[0059] In one embodiment, processor 1223 may be a central processing unit (CPU) or other processing unit with data processing and / or instruction execution capabilities, and may control other components to perform desired functions. Processor 1223 may include an arithmetic logic unit, a register unit, and a control unit. The arithmetic logic unit primarily performs relevant logical operations, such as shift operations and logical operations. In addition, it can also execute fixed-point or floating-point arithmetic operations, address operations, and conversion commands, making it a multifunctional arithmetic unit. The register unit is used to temporarily store instructions, data, and addresses. The control unit is primarily responsible for analyzing instructions and issuing corresponding control signals. Processor 1223 can be viewed as a large-scale integrated circuit whose primary task is to process and handle various data. The core components of processor 1223 are the controller and arithmetic unit, which play an important role in improving overall functionality and enable the diffusion of multiple functions such as register control, logical operations, and signal transmission and reception.

[0060] In one embodiment, if the reflected infrared signal indicates that the target part on the user's face is in the wearing position, it can be considered that the user has completed wearing. At this time, the comparator 1222 can output a first comparison signal, and the processor 1223 can control the display screen 121 to turn on according to the first comparison signal.

[0061] Figure 6 This is a structural block diagram of an alarm and a host controller provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Figure 6 As shown, the separate virtual reality device may further include an alarm 1224 , which is disposed on the mask 111 and is communicatively connected to the processor 1223 .

[0062] In one embodiment, if the reflected infrared signal indicates that the target part on the user's face is not in the wearing position, it can be considered that the user has not completed the wearing. At this time, the comparator 1222 can output a second comparison signal, and the processor 1223 can control the alarm 1224 to turn on according to the second comparison signal to remind the user that the head-mounted device 110 is not worn in place.

[0063] In one embodiment, the alarm 1224 may also be integrated into the mobile terminal 120 .

[0064] In one embodiment, alarm 1224 is an electronic product that uses sound, light, air pressure, or other means to alert or warn us to take certain actions to prevent or mitigate the consequences of an event. Alarm 1224 primarily consists of two components: an "electronic valve controller" shaped like a car horn, and a host "alarm unit" shaped like a doorbell.

[0065] Figure 7 This is a structural block diagram of a reminder and a host controller provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Figure 7 As shown, the mobile terminal 120 may further include a reminder 1225 , which is disposed on the mask 111 and is communicatively connected to the processor 1223 .

[0066] In one embodiment, if the reflected infrared signal indicates that the target part on the user's face is already in the wearing position, it can be considered that the user has completed wearing. At this time, the comparator 1222 can output a first comparison signal, and the processor 1223 can control the reminder 1225 to issue a first reminder message based on the first comparison signal to remind the user that the wearing is successful; if the reflected infrared signal indicates that the target part on the user's face is not in the wearing position, it can be considered that the user has not completed wearing. At this time, the comparator 1222 can output a second comparison signal, and the processor 1223 can issue a second reminder message based on the second comparison signal to remind the user that the wearing is not in place.

[0067] In one embodiment, the first reminder information and the second reminder information may be voice information or text information.

[0068] In one embodiment, the reminder 1225 may also be integrated into the mobile terminal 120 .

[0069] It should be noted that the structure of the reminder 1225 is similar to that of the alarm 1224. For the structure of the reminder 1225, reference may be made to the introduction of the aforementioned alarm.
