[0023] In a modern office scenario, users often sit for several hours to use a notebook computer. Existing health reminding systems mostly use software timing pop-up windows, but have two major technical defects: 1) visual reminders are easily ignored by users; 2) a forced physical interruption mechanism cannot be established. In particular, in a deep work state, even if the user receives a pop-up window prompt, the user will still continue to use the behavior by inertia, resulting in health risks such as continuous pressure on the lumbar spine and cervical spine and blood circulation obstruction. In addition, traditional solutions lack human state sensing capabilities and cannot accurately determine the actual in-place duration of the user, which may cause ineffective reminders.
[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure and not all embodiments.
[0025] According to an aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a notebook computer connection sitting detection reminding device as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The notebook computer connection sitting detection reminding device of the present embodiment includes a visual recognition component 100 and a reminding assembly 200. The visual recognition component 100 is electrically connected to the notebook computer 10 and is configured to send an identification image to the notebook computer 10. The reminding assembly 200 includes a driving component 210 and a reminding piece 220. The driving component 210 is electrically connected to the notebook computer 10. The notebook computer 10 determines the sitting duration of a user based on at least the identification image and controls the driving component 210 to drive the reminding piece 220 to block the user from continuing to use the notebook computer when the sitting duration is greater than a preset duration, so as to remind the user that he or she has been sitting for a long time.
[0026] It is worth mentioning that the device realizes accurate monitoring and active intervention on the user's sedentary behavior through the cooperation of the visual recognition component 100 and the reminding assembly 200. The visual recognition component 100 is electrically connected (such as USB or wireless communication) with the notebook computer 10, for real-time acquisition of user image data and transmission to the notebook computer for processing. The notebook computer can be built-in image recognition program to identify whether the user is sitting in front of the computer, to detect the user's in-place state in real time through image analysis algorithm (such as OpenCV combined with deep learning model), and calculate the sedentary duration. When it is detected that the user continues to sit for more than a preset threshold (such as 45 minutes), the system triggers the reminding assembly to perform intervention action. Specifically, the reminding assembly 200 prevents the user from continuing to operate the notebook computer, thereby avoiding the user's sedentary behavior.
[0027] Among them, the visual recognition component 100 is a camera integrated on the notebook computer. Alternatively, the visual recognition component 100 is an external camera which is detachably connected to the notebook computer 10.
[0028] In other words, the visual recognition component 20 can adopt two configuration modes: one is to directly call the built-in camera of the notebook computer, supporting resolution ≥ 720P, frame rate ≥ 30fps, meeting the basic image acquisition requirements; the other is to use a detachable external camera, which is connected to the notebook computer through magnetic attraction or buckle structure, supporting wide-angle lens (120°) and infrared fill light function, adapting to complex lighting environment.
[0029] In some embodiments, the driving component 210 drives the reminding part 220 to move between the first position and the second position; when the driving component 210 drives the reminding part 220 to be in the second position, the reminding part 220 blocks the user from continuing to use the notebook computer.
[0030] In this embodiment, the driving component is electrically connected with the notebook computer, receives a control signal and drives the reminding part to perform a physical intervention action. The driving component can adopt a rotating or telescopic scheme. When working, the driving component drives the reminding part to move from the first position (storage state) to the second position (working state). In the second position, the reminding part extends towards the user direction, forming a physical barrier to prevent the user from continuing to operate the notebook computer. After the intervention ends, the driving component reverses the movement to reset the reminding part to the first position.
[0031] In some embodiments, the driving component 210 is a rotating device, and the reminding part 220 is a rod, and the driving component 210 drives the reminding part 220 to rotate to move between the first position and the second position.
[0032] For example, the driving component 210 is installed under the table for placing the notebook computer 10. When the reminding component 220 is in the second position, the reminding component 220 rotates and extends towards the user to block the user from continuing to use the notebook computer 10. The reminding component 220 can be a lightweight and high-strength rod (e.g., made of carbon fiber material), and the length thereof can be adjusted (300 mm-500 mm). The surface of the reminding component 220 is coated with a flexible material to avoid collision damage.
[0033] Further, as shown in FIG. 2B, the reminding assembly 200 further includes a mounting component 230. The driving component 210 is installed under the table through the mounting component 230, and the reminding component 220 rotates on the mounting component 230. The mounting component 230 can be provided with an adhesive component or a magnetic component, so as to be fixed on the table through the adhesive component or the magnetic component. Figure 3
[0034] In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2C, the aforementioned driving component 210 is installed on the table for placing the notebook computer 10. When the reminding component 220 is in the second position, the reminding component 220 flips towards the notebook computer to close the notebook computer and block the user from continuing to use the notebook computer 10. Figure 4
[0035] In some other embodiments, the driving component 210 is a telescopic device, and the reminding component 220 is a rod. The driving component 210 drives the reminding component 220 to extend or retract to move between the first position and the second position.
[0036] For example, the driving component adopts a linear motor or an electric push rod, the stroke is ≥150 mm, and the thrust is ≥10 N. The reminding component is a telescopic rod, the length in the retracted state is ≤100 mm, and the length in the expanded state is ≥400 mm. In operation, the driving component drives the reminding component to extend from the first position (retracted state) to the second position (expanded state). In the second position, the reminding component is vertically raised to block the user's line of sight or operation path. After the intervention is completed, the driving component retracts the reminding component to the first position.
[0037] In the embodiment, the reminding component 220 supports multiple installation modes to adapt to different use scenarios. For example, the driving component can be fixed on the table bottom through the mounting component, and the reminding component rotates upward or extends to form an intervention mode of blocking the user from below. The driving component can also be directly fixed on the table top, and the reminding component flips towards the notebook computer to achieve intervention by closing the notebook screen or blocking the keyboard area. In addition, the reminding assembly can also be flexibly deployed above or below the table top. The specific position is adjusted according to the user habit and environmental conditions.
[0038] In summary, the present scheme uses visual recognition technology to detect the user state in real time, avoiding the misjudgment problem of the traditional timer; uses a physical blocking mechanism to force the user to interrupt the sedentary behavior, improving the prompting effect; supports multiple installation methods and driving schemes to meet the needs of different scenarios; the prompting piece uses flexible materials and buffer design to ensure safety and no damage during intervention. Through the above optimization, the present scheme has been significantly improved in terms of technical details, function implementation and user experience, and can effectively solve the problem of user sedentary behavior while taking into account practicality and safety.
