[0037] To this end, the embodiments of the present application provide a control system and a smart ring, and the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings.

[0038] Figure 1A A schematic diagram of a component structure of a control system provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. 1, which includes a smart ring 101 and an electronic device 102; wherein the smart ring 101 and the electronic device 102 are communicatively connected.

[0040] In some embodiments, the smart ring 101 and the electronic device 102 can be connected through wireless communication and wired communication, wherein the wireless communication can include Bluetooth, wireless local area network technology, mobile communication network, and the like, which are not limited by the present application.

[0041] In some embodiments, continuing to refer to Figure 1A , the smart ring 101 includes a first ring-shaped body 1011 and a second ring-shaped body 1012, the first ring-shaped body 1011 is nested on the outside of the second ring-shaped body 1012, that is, the second ring-shaped body 1012 is nested on the inside of the first ring-shaped body, it can be understood that the inside surface of the first ring-shaped body 1011 and the outside surface of the second ring-shaped body 1012 are nested, that is, the inside diameter of the first ring-shaped body 1011 and the outside diameter of the second ring-shaped body 1012 are the same. The materials of the first ring-shaped body 1011 and the second ring-shaped body 1012 can be the same or different, which are not limited by the present application.

[0042] In some embodiments, continuing to refer to Figure 1A , the outside surface of the first ring-shaped body 1011 is provided with an optical touch module 1013 and a key module 1014, the optical touch module 1013 and the key module 1014 are arranged at different regions of the outside surface of the first ring-shaped body 1011. The center of the optical touch module 1013 and the axis of the first ring-shaped body 1011 form a first radius, the center of the key module 1014 and the axis of the first ring-shaped body 1011 form a second radius, and the central angle formed by the first radius and the second radius is an acute angle.

[0043] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1B , Figure 1B is a cross-sectional view of a smart ring provided by an embodiment of the present application, the first ring-shaped body 1011 and the second ring-shaped body 1012 form a containing space 1015, the position of the containing space 1015 can be arranged in the direction extending from the optical touch module 1013 and the key module 1014 to the axis of the first ring-shaped body 1011, that is, on the first ring-shaped body 1011, the containing space 1015 is arranged below the optical touch module 1013 and the key module 1014.

[0044] In some embodiments, continuing to refer to Figure 1BThe smart ring 101 is further provided with a control module 1016, which is arranged in the accommodating space 1015 formed by the first annular body 1011 and the second annular body 1012, and is connected to the optical touch module 1013 and the key module respectively. The connection can be wired or wireless, for example, through a communication protocol.

[0045] In some embodiments, the user can perform a gesture operation on the optical touch module 1013 by a finger or the like. After receiving the gesture operation of the user, the optical touch module 1013 sends the gesture operation to the control module through a communication protocol. The gesture operation can include moving, zooming, dragging and the like of the user on the optical touch module 1013. After receiving the gesture operation, the optical touch module 1013 sends the gesture operation to the control module 1016 through the communication protocol.

[0046] For example, the electronic device 102 is a notebook computer. The gesture operation can include moving, zooming, dragging and the like of the user on the optical touch module 1013. Based on the moving operation, the cursor in the notebook computer is moved. Based on the zooming operation, the display content in the notebook computer is zoomed. Based on the dragging operation, the application window or the position of the file in the notebook computer is moved. Based on the dragging operation, the progress bar displayed in the notebook computer is moved.

[0047] In some embodiments, when the user's finger first contacts the optical touch module 1013 and slides on the optical touch module 1013 based on a preset speed, the current gesture operation is determined as a sliding operation. When the user's finger first contacts the optical touch module 1013 and keeps the contact position still for a preset time and then moves until the contact is released, the current gesture operation is determined as a dragging operation. When the user's two fingers first contact the optical touch module 1013, the distance between the two fingers is recorded. After the two fingers move, based on the distance between the two fingers when they leave the optical touch module 1013, if the distance between the two fingers before moving is less than the distance between the two fingers after leaving, the current gesture operation is determined as an enlargement operation. If the distance between the two fingers before moving is greater than the distance between the two fingers after leaving, the current gesture operation is determined as a reduction operation.

[0048] In some embodiments, the user can perform a clicking operation such as clicking or double-clicking on the key module 1014. After receiving the clicking operation of the user, the key module 1014 sends the clicking operation to the control module 1016.

[0049] In some embodiments, the control module 1016 sends the gesture operation and the click operation to the electronic device 102 after receiving the gesture operation and the click operation, so as to control the electronic device 102 based on the gesture operation and the click operation; wherein the working state or the running state of the electronic device 102 can be controlled based on the gesture operation and the click operation.

[0050] Exemplarily, the click operation can include a single click operation and a double click operation for the key module 1014, the notebook computer can be opened or closed based on the single click operation, and a file or a window in the notebook computer can be selected or confirmed based on the single click operation, and a file or a window in the notebook computer can be opened based on the double click operation.

[0051] In some embodiments, the smart ring 101 is further provided with a power supply (not shown in the figure), which can be arranged in the accommodation space 1015 formed by the first ring-shaped body 1011 and the second ring-shaped body 1012, so as to supply power to the optical touch module 1011, the key module 1012 and the control module 1016.

[0052] In the embodiments of the present application, the optical touch module and the key module are arranged at intervals on the outside of the first ring-shaped body of the smart ring, the user can perform gesture operation and key operation on the optical touch module and the key module, and the control module arranged in the smart ring controls the running state or the display state of the electronic device based on the gesture operation and the key operation, so as to realize the functions of traditional input devices such as keyboard and mouse, the control module is arranged in the accommodation space formed by the first ring-shaped body and the second ring-shaped body of the smart ring, so as to reduce the difference between the smart ring and the traditional ring in appearance, improve the function of the ring itself, and improve the user experience.

[0053] Figure 2 A component structure schematic diagram of a control system provided in the embodiments of the present application is provided, which is combined with Figure 1B The smart ring 101 further includes a lens 201 and a first light source 202, the lens 201 is arranged on the inside of the second ring-shaped body 1012, the lens 201 extends towards the axis of the second ring-shaped body, and the first light source 202 is arranged in the accommodation space 1015 formed by the first ring-shaped body 1011 and the second ring-shaped body 1012, wherein the first light source 202 is used to send a first light signal to a target object through the lens 201.

[0054] In some embodiments, when the smart ring 101 is in a wearing state, that is, the first light source 202 emits the first light signal to the axis direction of the second annular body 1012 through the lens 201 to detect the target object, the control module 1016 receives the first reflected light signal generated when the target object reflects the first light signal through the lens 201, and generates the life index of the target object based on the first reflected light signal.

[0055] In some embodiments, the target object can be a finger of the user.

[0056] In some embodiments, the life index of the target object can be the heart rate, blood oxygen content, etc. of the target object.

[0057] In some embodiments, the first light signal can be infrared light and green light, and the infrared light and the green light have different penetration abilities to skin tissue and different applicability in different environments. For example, in a low-temperature environment, the green light can be more accurate; and in a high-temperature or high-humidity environment, the infrared light can be more applicable due to the increase of skin surface moisture, so that the first light signal is switched between the infrared light and the green light based on the environmental temperature and the skin state.

[0058] In some embodiments, the control module 1016 is further provided with a photosensitive sensor (not shown in the figure), and after the first reflected light signal is received by the photosensitive sensor, the second light signal is filtered and amplified to obtain a processed first reflected light signal, and the processed first reflected light signal is converted into an electrical signal by a photoelectric conversion unit (not shown in the figure) in the control module 1016, so as to generate the life index of the target object based on the electrical signal.

[0059] In the embodiments of the present application, when the reflected first reflected light signal passes through the lens, the lens focuses and collimates the first reflected light signal to ensure that the first reflected light signal can reach the control module according to a preset path. After the first reflected light signal reaches the control module, the control module filters and amplifies the first reflected light signal to improve the accuracy of the first reflected light signal, and converts the first reflected light signal into an electrical signal to generate the life index of the target object based on the electrical signal. By improving the accuracy of the first reflected light signal, the accuracy of the generated life index of the target object is improved, thereby improving the user experience.

[0060] In some embodiments, the electronic device 102 is further provided with a display screen (not shown in the figure), and the display screen displays display content.

[0061] In some embodiments, after the control module 1016 generates the vital sign of the target object based on the first reflected light signal reflected by the target object, the generated vital sign is sent to the electronic device 102, and the electronic device 102 displays the generated vital sign in the display screen through the gesture operation and the single-click operation sent by the control module 1016.

[0062] For example, after the control module 1016 sends the vital sign of the user, such as the heart rate and blood oxygen, to the electronic device 102, the electronic device stores the vital sign of the user in the form of a file in the storage space of the electronic device, the user controls the position of the cursor on the electronic device through the sliding gesture operation, and opens the file of the vital sign of the user in the storage space through the double-click single-click operation.

[0063] In the embodiments of the present application, the first light source emits the first light signal to the target object through the lens to collimate and focus the first light signal, thereby improving the accuracy of the first light signal, the vital sign of the target object is generated based on the first reflected light signal reflected by the target object, and the vital sign is sent to the electronic device, and the user can display the vital sign in the display screen of the electronic device based on the gesture operation and the key operation, thereby improving the user experience.

[0064] In some embodiments, the included angle formed by the line connecting the center of the optical touch module and the center of the key module and the first annular shaft is 23.5° to 33.5°.

[0065] The line connecting the center of the optical touch module and the center of the key module and the first annular body shaft corresponds to the first radius formed by the center of the optical touch module and the shaft of the first annular body, and the second radius formed by the center of the key module and the shaft of the first annular body, and the included angle corresponds to the central angle formed by the first radius and the second radius.

[0066] In some embodiments, the included angle formed by the line connecting the center of the optical touch module and the center of the key module and the first annular shaft can be 28.5°.

[0067] It can be understood that the distance between the optical touch module and the key module is the arc corresponding to the included angle formed on the first annular body.

[0068] In the embodiments of the present application, the included angle formed by the line connecting the center of the optical touch module and the center of the key module and the first annular body shaft is 23.5° to 33.5°, which reduces the distance between the optical touch module and the key module, and the user can operate the optical touch module and the key module with one hand, thereby improving the user experience.

[0069] In some embodiments, the optical touch module described above comprises a second light source, a light-shield touch panel, an optical lens group, and a photosensitive array chip, wherein the second light source, the light-shield touch panel, the optical lens group, and the photosensitive array chip are integrated on a circuit board.

[0070] In some embodiments, the circuit board can be a flexible circuit board or a rigid circuit board.

[0071] In some embodiments, the second light source can be a light source that emits infrared light.

[0072] In some embodiments, the optical lens group can be a lens array composed of a plurality of small lenses arranged in a certain pattern.

[0073] In some embodiments, the second light source and the photosensitive array chip are arranged in different areas of the circuit board, the lens group is fixed on the circuit board, and the light-shield touch panel is arranged on top of the lens group; wherein the second light source and the photosensitive array chip can be arranged in different areas of the circuit board by welding or bonding process, the second light source and the photosensitive array chip are connected by wires, the lens group is fixed on the circuit board by mechanical structure, and the light-shield touch panel is fixed on top of the lens group by mechanical structure.

[0074] The second light source is configured to send a second light signal to the light-shield touch panel through the lens group; the light-shield touch panel is configured to receive a user's gesture operation and send a second reflected light signal to the photosensitive array chip through the lens group based on the gesture operation; and the photosensitive array chip is configured to generate a first control instruction corresponding to the gesture operation based on the second reflected light signal and send the first control instruction to the control module.

[0075] In some embodiments, the second light source sends a second light signal to the light-shield touch panel through the lens, when a user's finger contacts the light-shield touch panel, the finger reflects the second light signal and reflects a second reflected light signal to the photosensitive array chip through the light-shield touch panel, the photosensitive array chip filters and amplifies the second reflected light signal, and converts the processed second reflected light signal into an electrical signal to obtain a varying electrical signal, the photosensitive array chip maps the varying electrical signal into position information in a two-dimensional coordinate system to obtain the real-time position of the user's finger on the touch panel, and determines the user's gesture operation content based on the real-time position.

[0076] The type of gesture operation is determined based on the position, time of first contact with the light-shield touch panel, and the position, time of leaving the light-shield touch panel. It can be understood that the speed and distance of finger sliding are determined based on the position, time of first contact with the light-shield touch panel, and the position, time of leaving the light-shield touch panel. When the sliding is performed based on a preset speed, the current gesture operation is determined as a sliding operation. When the user first contacts the light-shield touch panel and keeps the contact position still for a preset time and then starts to move until releasing, the current gesture operation is determined as a dragging operation. When the user first contacts the light-shield touch panel with two fingers, the distance between the two fingers is smaller than the distance between the two fingers when leaving the light-shield touch panel, the current gesture operation is determined as an enlargement operation. When the user first contacts the light-shield touch panel with two fingers, the distance between the two fingers is larger than the distance between the two fingers when leaving the light-shield touch panel, the current gesture operation is determined as a reduction operation.

[0077] In some embodiments, after receiving the gesture operation of the user, a first control instruction is generated based on the type of gesture operation, and the first control instruction is sent to the control module to control the electronic device through the first control instruction. Wherein, the photosensitive array chip converts the gesture operation into an instruction code that can be recognized by the machine after determining the type of gesture operation.

[0078] In the embodiments of the present application, the lens group sends a second light signal to the light-shield touch panel to focus and collimate the second light signal, so that the second light signal is transmitted along a fixed path. When the user performs a gesture operation on the light-shield touch panel, the second light signal is reflected by the light-shield touch panel to send the reflected second reflected light signal to the photosensitive array chip. The photosensitive array chip amplifies the second reflected light signal, improves the accuracy of generating the first control instruction, and sends the first control instruction to the control module to control the electronic device based on the first control instruction, thereby improving the user experience.

[0079] In some embodiments, the electronic device is provided with a display screen. After the control module receives the first control instruction sent by the photosensitive array chip in the optical touch module, the first control instruction is sent to the electronic device, and the electronic device controls the display state of the display content in the display screen based on the first control instruction.

[0080] For example, if the first control instruction represents a user's reduction operation and the display content of the display screen is a document, the control module sends the first control instruction representing the reduction operation to the notebook computer, and the notebook computer reduces the display content in the document based on the first control instruction representing the reduction operation.

[0081] In the embodiment of the present application, after receiving the first control instruction, the control instruction sends the first control instruction to the electronic device, and the electronic device controls the display state of the display content in the display screen based on the first control instruction to realize the functions of the mouse, keyboard and other devices, thereby improving the user experience.

[0082] In some embodiments, after the user performs a click operation on the key module, the key module determines the type of the click operation and converts the click operation into a machine-recognizable second control instruction, and sends the second control instruction to the control module. The control module receives the second control instruction and sends the second control instruction to the electronic device, and the electronic device controls its running state based on the second control instruction.

[0083] For example, the second control instruction can be a single-click operation, based on which a notebook computer is opened or closed, or based on which a file or window in the notebook computer is selected or confirmed. The second control instruction can be a double-click operation, based on which a file or window in the notebook computer can be opened.

[0084] In the embodiment of the present application, after receiving the second control instruction, the control instruction sends the second control instruction to the electronic device, and the electronic device controls its running state or confirms or selects the display content in the display screen based on the second control instruction to realize the functions of the mouse, keyboard and other devices, thereby improving the user experience.

[0085] In some embodiments, the electronic device is further configured to receive a third control instruction of a user and send the third control instruction to the control module; and the control module is further configured to adjust the working state of the light-sensitive touch module and the key module based on the third control instruction.

[0086] In some embodiments, the user can input a third control instruction to the electronic device through voice, mouse, touch, etc., and send the third control instruction to the control module of the smart ring. The control module adjusts the touch sensitivity of the light-sensitive touch module based on the third control instruction, or adjusts the click operation of the key module based on the third control instruction.

[0087] In the embodiment of the present application, based on the third control instruction sent by the user to the smart ring through the electronic device, the sensitivity of the light-sensitive touch module and the click operation of the key module are adjusted to adapt to the user's operation habit, thereby improving the user experience.

[0088] The following describes an exemplary application of a control system provided in an embodiment of the present application in an actual scenario.

[0089] The intelligent ring is divided into five categories according to product function characteristics, including sports health monitoring, extended reality (XR) auxiliary interaction, artificial intelligence (AI) assistant, payment and near field communication (NFC) integration, and special application scenarios such as controlling mobile phones or computers.

[0090] If the current intelligent ring touch module adopts a touch control scheme similar to a mouse, the touch part is not included in the normal ring, and is generally connected to the touch module outside the ring or designed like a finger ring. The touch part uses a larger area, and the customer's use of the appearance of the ring itself is greatly reduced, which greatly affects the intelligent ring with touch function to the public.

[0091] The application provides an intelligent ring design scheme based on an optical touch module and a key module, which includes an optical touch module, a key module, a wireless communication module, and a control other device module.

[0092] The optical touch module includes an infrared LED light source, a light-shielded touch panel, an optical lens group, and a chip-on-process / control chip with a photosensitive array, and is generally made on a flexible circuit (FPC) board for easy integration. When the user touches the light-shielded touch panel with his finger, the infrared LED light source, optical lens group, photosensitive array, and control chip in the optical touch module are combined to accurately capture simple gesture operation data such as touch, slide, click, double-click, and drag, and convert them into electrical signals. The control chip in the optical touch module can deeply analyze the received instruction signals and identify the specific gesture actions, convert the gesture action instructions into instruction codes that can be directly recognized by other electronic devices, and these instruction codes follow specific communication protocols to ensure the accuracy and efficiency of signal transmission. The control chip supports local data storage. The key module provides simple key operations such as single-click and double-click, where single-click is used for selection and confirmation, and double-click is used for file or program opening. By combining the optical touch module, various touch and click operations similar to a mouse can be achieved, which can be used to control other electronic devices. Figure 3 A schematic diagram of an optical touch module provided by the application is shown in the figure, where 301 is the front view of the optical touch module, 302 is the side view of the optical touch module, 303 is the top view of the optical touch module, and 304 is the cross-sectional view of the optical touch module.

[0096] In some embodiments, with continued reference to Figure 5 The ring body 504 includes a first ring body and a second ring body, and the first ring body and the second ring body form a containing space, and the containing space is provided with a communication module (corresponding to the control module in the above embodiment).

[0097] In some embodiments, the communication module transmits data and communicates with external electronic devices (such as tablets, computers, projectors, etc.) through Bluetooth, wireless local area network technology, mobile communication network, etc. Here, the smart ring can transmit the instruction code generated by the optical touch module to the external electronic device, which can be directly recognized by the external electronic device, and can also receive the control instruction and data update from the smart ring control corresponding mobile phone APP application. In the transmission process, the instruction data will be encrypted to prevent being illegally intercepted and tampered with, so as to protect the user's privacy and data security. The driver in the external electronic device receives these instruction codes and converts them into standard mouse control events, and the operating system or specific application program executes corresponding operations according to the received mouse control events, thereby realizing various functions of mouse control. By tracking the execution of the user's gestures and key operations on the smart ring optical touch module and the key module on the computer, the user can adjust the sensitivity of each gesture operation through the mobile phone APP application to adapt to the user's personal use habits.

[0098] In some embodiments, data collection and confirmation of various gesture operations are performed through the following steps: Data Collection: When a finger touches the light-shielding touch panel, an infrared LED light source emits light, illuminating the user's finger. Part of the light is reflected from the finger surface. This reflected light passes through the light-shielding touch panel and optical lens group, and is captured by a photosensitive array. When the finger moves, photosensitive units at different locations receive varying degrees of light, forming a set of light intensity change signals. The control chip converts the received light intensity data into position information in a two-dimensional coordinate system, representing the real-time position of the finger on the touch panel. Based on the collected coordinate data, the gesture operation is further analyzed and confirmed. Gesture operations include touching; when a finger first touches the touch panel, the system records the coordinates and timestamp of the initial contact point. Gesture operations also include swiping; if the finger moves continuously on the touch panel, the system tracks its path and calculates the speed and direction of movement. Gesture operations also include dragging; after a finger is held still for a period of time, it begins to move until it is released, and the system continuously tracks the finger position throughout the process. The system sets a series of thresholds to determine different gestures, such as a swiping speed threshold (distinguishing between scrolling and zooming), and a distance threshold between two fingers (distinguishing between zooming in and zooming out). To reduce noise interference, a filtering algorithm is used to smooth the coordinate data, and a machine learning model is used to improve the accuracy and robustness of gesture recognition.

[0099] This application designs a smart ring based on a separate optical touch module and button module to achieve mouse-like functionality. It allows users to control the device through simple touch or gestures, eliminating the need for traditional input devices such as keyboards and mice. The smart ring is visually indistinguishable from a traditional ring, highlighting its function. Due to its small size, the touch module design requires higher integration and lower power consumption compared to a normal mouse. In addition to supporting simple click, double-click, and drag gestures, it also supports complex scrolling, page turning, screen scrolling, and customizable gestures, enabling connection to more external devices and expanding its application range.
