Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of intelligent tour guide devices, and in particular relates to a binaural head-mounted AR glasses tour guide machine. Background Technology

[0002] A guided tour device is an electronic device that provides tourists with self-guided tour services. It is mainly used in cultural heritage systems, tourist attractions, and other similar venues.

[0003] The existing audio guides are separate from the main unit and headphones. The headphones are connected to the main unit via a wire, and the main unit needs to be held by the tourist or carried by a lanyard or other device. Moreover, the existing audio guides do not have image display functions, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0004] Therefore, we need to design a binaural AR glasses navigation device to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a binaural head-mounted AR glasses tour guide device.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A binaural AR glasses navigation device includes a main unit, a support component on the main unit, a voice interaction module on the support component, an adjustment component on the voice interaction module, and a visual interaction module on the adjustment component. Both the voice interaction module and the visual interaction module are electrically connected to the main unit.

[0008] Preferably, there are two support members, which are symmetrically distributed along the host. Each support member includes a support arm, one end of which is hinged to the host and the other end is provided with a hook. The voice interaction module is connected to the hook.

[0009] This design, with its symmetrically distributed support arms, is more ergonomic and provides greater wearing comfort. The two support arms, which are hinged to the main unit, can be extended outwards to accommodate people with different head circumferences.

[0010] Furthermore, the two support arms are connected to the main unit via torsion spring hinges.

[0011] This design ensures the stability of the device during wear through the return force of the torsion spring.

[0012] Preferably, the voice interaction module includes an earphone and a microphone, with the microphone integrated into the earphone, and the visual interaction module includes a camera and a display device.

[0013] With this setup, voice explanations can be output through headphones, image information can be captured through a camera, and visual projection output can be performed through a display device.

[0014] Preferably, when the distance between the display device and the host is the farthest, the weight on both sides of the line connecting the voice interaction module and the support component is the same, with the connection point between the two endpoints being the endpoints.

[0015] This design, by balancing the weight at the front and back ends, ensures that the overall weight is evenly distributed when the user wears the device, guaranteeing its balance and reducing pressure and fatigue from prolonged wear, thus improving wearing comfort.

[0016] Preferably, the adjusting component includes an adjusting body, a telescopic block, and a rotating shaft. The adjusting body is rotatably connected to the earphone via the rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is a damped rotating shaft. The telescopic block is connected to the adjusting body via a damped slide rail.

[0017] This design allows the display device to hover stably in any position, and the telescopic block adjusts the distance between the display device and the user's eyes to accommodate different eye positions. Furthermore, the device does not obstruct normal vision when not in use, even without being removed. It also allows the display device to be rotated for storage, making it smaller and more portable.

[0018] Preferably, a mirror frame is detachably mounted on the telescopic block, and both the display device and the camera are mounted on the mirror frame.

[0019] This design allows for the integration of the display device and camera, facilitating installation and replacement, while also enabling the adjustment of the front and rear weight via the frame, thus improving wearing comfort.

[0020] Preferably, when the distance between the display device and the host is at its maximum, the weight on both sides of the two hooks connecting the two hooks is the same.

[0021] Preferably, the main unit casing is provided with contacts and positioning grooves.

[0022] With this setup, the device can be charged and transmit information via contacts. The two ends of the main unit casing have positioning slots, which allow the device to be accurately aligned and securely connected when inserted into the charging port.

[0023] The advantages and positive effects of this utility model are:

[0024] This invention improves upon traditional audio guides by combining them with AR glasses. It not only provides audio output but also allows for image display via AR glasses, resulting in a better user experience. Weight balancing at both ends ensures even weight distribution when the user wears the device, reducing pressure and fatigue from prolonged use. Adjustable components accommodate different eye and head sizes for enhanced comfort. The spring or damping mechanism ensures stable wear and allows the device to remain in place without obstructing vision when not in use. The visual interaction module can rotate to the main unit via a hinge, making it smaller and easier to store and carry. Attached Figure Description

[0033] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0034] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0035] Example: Figures 1-4As shown, a binaural AR glasses navigation device includes a main unit 1. The main unit 1 has contacts 10 and positioning slots 11 on its outer shell. The contacts 10 enable charging and information transmission. The positioning slots 11 at both ends of the main unit 1's outer shell allow for precise and secure alignment when the device is inserted into the charging port. Both ends of the main unit 1 are hinged to two support arms 2 via torsion spring hinges. The two support arms 2 are symmetrically distributed along the main unit 1, and each support arm 2 has a hook 3 at its free end. The symmetrically distributed support arms 2 and the hooks 3 on the support arms 2 are ergonomically designed to ensure comfortable wear. It offers greater comfort, and the two support arms 2, which are hinged to the main unit 1, can extend outward to accommodate users with different head sizes. The voice interaction module is connected to the hook 3. The voice interaction module includes an earphone 4 and a microphone. The earphone 4 is used to output audio, and the microphone is used to receive the user's speech. An adjustment body 6 is mounted on the earphone 4 via a damping hinge. The damping hinge allows the display device 9 to be stably suspended in any position. At the same time, when the user is not using the device, the device will not obstruct the normal visual effect without being removed. It can also rotate and store the display device 9, making it smaller and more portable.

[0036] The main body 6 is equipped with a telescopic block 7, which is connected to the main body 6 via a damping slide rail. A frame 8 is detachably mounted on the telescopic block 7. The display device 9 and the camera are both connected to the frame 8. The distance between the display device 9 and the user's eyes can be adjusted by the telescopic block 7. The telescopic block 7 can adjust the distance between the display device 9 and the user's eyes to accommodate different user eye positions. The display device 9, camera, headphones 4, and microphone are all electrically connected to the host 1. This configuration facilitates control via the host 1.

[0037] By balancing the weight of the front and rear ends, the overall weight of the device can be evenly distributed, ensuring that the weight on both sides of the user's ears is nearly the same when wearing it. When the distance between the display device 9 and the main unit 1 is the farthest, the balance when wearing it is ensured, while reducing the pressure and fatigue caused by wearing it for a long time and improving wearing comfort.

[0038] The single-eye mode allows users to more clearly distinguish between real and virtual information, reducing dizziness.

[0039] Operating Process: The main audio-visual equipment 4 of this device offers three narration functions: basic guided tour, wireless narration, and AI narration. The basic guided tour uses locally stored pre-recorded content, including audio, images, and videos. The content is transmitted via contact points 10 on the main unit 1 and stored within the main unit 1. The corresponding narration content is automatically triggered using methods such as Active RFID, infrared, and BLE Beacon.

[0040] Wireless narration refers to this device acting as a receiver, which can be paired with the guide's transmitter or a central server to receive narration.

[0041] Furthermore, this device can also be interconnected with multiple devices. During wireless explanation, this device is used as a receiver, while multi-level interconnection is based on one-way explanation, where this device is used as a transmitter to send information to other receiver devices in the same network.

[0042] The speaking priority of all receivers can be configured. Receivers with higher priority can occupy the channel to speak and can interrupt receivers with lower priority. For example, the transmitter of a tour guide can interrupt the transmitter used by tourists. Receivers with the same priority will queue up to occupy the channel in the order of their initiation time, such as the transmitter used by tourists.

[0043] AI-powered explanation refers to the use of voice interaction. The microphone on the headset 4 receives the user's speech, converts it using large-scale speech recognition models such as Google Cloud Speech-to-Text or iFlytek Xinghuo, and then converts it into text and voice explanation. It can also trigger explanations of preset content.

[0044] The AR glasses of this device provide a hands-free, visual human-computer interaction method. This can be configured as a binocular mode by installing visual interaction modules on both voice interaction modules, or as a monocular mode by installing a visual interaction module on only one voice interaction module. The structures shown in the accompanying drawings of this embodiment are all in monocular mode. Compared to binocular mode, monocular mode allows users to more clearly distinguish between real and virtual information and reduces dizziness.

[0045] When interacting, after the user initiates the interaction via voice, host 1 will transmit the user's voice information collected by the microphone and the image information collected by the camera to the central server via the network. After processing by the central server, the corresponding content will be converted into voice and text or image information and sent to host 1. Host 1 will call the resources stored in host 1 according to the received information and generate the explanation content, which will be output through headphones 4 and display device 9.

[0046] The above description provides a detailed account of one embodiment of the present invention. However, this description is merely a preferred embodiment and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. All equivalent variations and improvements made within the scope of the claims of the present invention should still fall within the patent coverage of the present invention.
