Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of near-eye display devices, and more particularly to a smart pair of glasses. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of display technology, sensor technology, and computer vision technology, a new generation of near-eye display devices, such as AR (Augmented Reality) glasses, are gradually emerging. Smart glasses can display virtual projection information generated through optical waveguides, allowing real-world images and virtual projection information to be superimposed on each other and enter the user's field of vision, thus achieving augmented reality display.

[0003] Smart glasses can achieve various interactions through touch. Currently, users can only determine whether a touch operation is effective and correct by observing the content displayed on the smart glasses. However, when there is no displayed content for users to judge, they cannot determine whether a touch operation is effective and correct, thus degrading the user's touch interaction experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide smart glasses that aim to improve the interactive experience of touch operation.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides smart glasses, comprising:

[0006] The eyeglasses body includes a frame and a first temple, the first temple being connected to the frame;

[0007] The ear loop is located at the end of the first temple away from the frame. The ear loop includes a sensor and a feedback device. The sensor generates a touch signal by touch, and the feedback device provides physical feedback based on the touch signal. Attached Figure Description

[0036] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0037] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of this application are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0038] It should also be noted that when a component is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another component, it can be directly on the other component or may be connected to an intermediary component. When a component is referred to as being "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or indirectly connected to the other component through an intermediary component.

[0039] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "first" and "second" in this application is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only on the basis of being achievable by those skilled in the art. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, such a combination of technical solutions should be considered non-existent and not within the scope of protection claimed in this application.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 14 As shown in the embodiment of this application, a smart glasses 1000 is provided. The smart glasses 1000 can be worn on the head of the wearer. The smart glasses 1000 can be VR (Virtual Reality) glasses, AR (Augmented Reality) glasses, XR (Extender Reality) glasses, MR (Mixed Reality) glasses, or other glasses that can be worn on the head.

[0041] In some embodiments, the smart glasses 1000 includes a glasses body 200 and ear hooks 100. The glasses body 200 includes a frame 210 and a first temple 221. The glasses body 200 also includes a second temple 222, with the first temple 221 and the second temple 222 respectively connected to the frame 210. It should be noted that the first temple 221 and the second temple 222 are respectively connected to the two sides of the frame 200 so that when the user wears the smart glasses 1000, the first temple 221 and the second temple 222 are respectively placed on both sides of the user's head and rest on the user's two ears for stable wearing. The first temple 221 and the second temple 222 are disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the frame 210. The first temple 221 and the second temple 222 of the smart glasses 1000 have an open state and a retracted state relative to the frame 210; the wall surface in this application is defined in the open state. In this application, the first temple 221 and the second temple 222 are only used to distinguish the two temples and do not limit the position of the two temples. That is to say, the first temple 221 can be the left temple of the frame 210, and the second temple 222 is the right temple of the frame 210. Of course, the first temple 221 can also be the right temple of the frame 210, and the second temple 222 is the left temple of the frame 210.

[0042] The ear loop 100 is located at the end of the first temple 221 away from the frame 210. It is understood that the ear loop 100 is designed to fit the wearer's ear, and there are two of them. For example, one ear loop 100 is connected to the end of the first temple 221 away from the frame 210, and the other ear loop 100 is connected to the end of the second temple 222 away from the frame 210. In this application, electronic devices can be provided on only one ear loop 100, or on both ear loops 100; there is no limitation. When electronic devices are provided on only one ear loop 100, the other ear loop 100 can be equipped with other counterweight structures to balance the smart glasses 1000 and ensure stable wear.

[0043] Both the first temple 221 and the second temple 222 are hinged to the frame 210, allowing the first temple 221 and the second temple 222 to rotate relative to the frame 210, thus enabling the smart glasses 1000 to have an unfolded first state and a folded second state. In the second state, the first temple 221 and the second temple 222 are arranged side by side with the frame 210, and the smart glasses 1000 is in a stored state, which can be used for storage or charging. In the first state, both the first temple 221 and the second temple 222 extend away from the frame 210, and the smart glasses 1000 can be worn by the user.

[0044] like Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments, the ear hook 100 includes a sensor 10 and a feedback device 20. The sensor 10 generates a touch signal based on a user's touch, and the feedback device 20 provides physical feedback based on the touch signal. The touch signal generated by the sensor 10 can be a control signal used to operate the smart glasses 1000, or it can be a detection signal generated by the sensor 10 after detecting a touch. The physical feedback provided by the feedback device 20 can be sound or vibration, without limitation.

[0045] In the smart glasses 1000 of this application embodiment, when the user controls the smart glasses 1000 through the sensor device 10 or performs corresponding detection through the sensor device 10, a touch signal will be generated. The feedback device 20 can provide corresponding physical feedback based on the touch signal, thereby reminding the user of the current operation or detection status, thus ensuring that the user's operation is correct or the detection of the smart glasses 1000 is effective, thereby improving the interactive experience of the smart glasses 1000.

[0046] It is important to understand that when sensor 10 functions as a control device, users can control smart glasses 1000 via touch, changing its display content or performing related functions. Without feedback device 20, users can only determine the effectiveness and correctness of the operation through the results of touch control on smart glasses 1000, for example, by observing the displayed results. If the corresponding functional device of smart glasses 1000 or sensor 10 malfunctions, users cannot determine the effectiveness or correctness of the operation through the results of touch control, and they cannot determine whether the malfunction is due to a functional device or sensor 10. However, in this application, with feedback device 20, users can determine the effectiveness and correctness of the touch operation through feedback device 20. After touch control, if feedback device 20 provides no physical feedback, the user can know that the current operation was incorrect or that sensor 10 has malfunctioned. If feedback device 20 provides physical feedback, but the functional device does not display a corresponding result, the user can know that the current functional device has malfunctioned. This feedback method is particularly effective for non-button touch controls, such as swipe and tap touch controls.

[0047] The sensor 10 acts as a detection device, allowing the smart glasses 1000 to detect whether it is being worn by contacting the human body. Without the feedback device 20, the user can only determine the detection result by observing the smart glasses 1000's contact with the external environment, such as through the displayed result. If the corresponding functional device of the smart glasses 1000 or the sensor 10 malfunctions, the user cannot determine the detection result after the sensor 10 contacts the human body, and cannot determine whether the malfunction is due to a functional device or the sensor 10. However, in this application, with the feedback device 20, the user can obtain the detection result through it. If the feedback device 20 provides no physical feedback after the sensor 10 contacts the human body, the user can determine that the smart glasses 1000 is not being worn or that the sensor 10 has malfunctioned. If the feedback device 20 provides physical feedback, but the functional device does not display a corresponding result, the user can determine that the current functional device has malfunctioned.

[0048] Furthermore, since the ear loop 100 is located at the end of the first temple 221 furthest from the frame 210, when the user wears the smart glasses 1000, the first temple 221 rests on the user's ear, and the ear loop 100 is placed behind the ear. This allows the ear loop 100 to be hidden behind the ear, achieving a concealed appearance. Moreover, since both the sensor 10 and the feedback device 20 are located within the ear loop 100, multiple electronic components can be integrated into it. This high degree of integration facilitates electrical connection and reduces the overall size of the smart glasses 1000, making it easier to wear. Furthermore, because the ear loop 100 houses multiple electronic components, its weight can be increased to balance the weight of the frame 210, thus enabling stable wearing of the smart glasses 1000.

[0049] In some embodiments, the feedback device 20 includes a sound-emitting device that provides physical feedback by emitting sound. The sound-emitting device can alert the user to the operation or detection status by emitting sound, thereby ensuring that the user's operation is correct or that the smart glasses 1000's detection is effective, thus improving the interactive experience of the smart glasses 1000.

[0050] For example, the sound-generating device includes a speaker. The speaker can provide physical feedback by playing music or voice to alert the user to the touch operation or detection status of the sensor device 10.

[0051] For example, the sound-generating device includes a buzzer. The buzzer can provide physical feedback by playing a prompt tone to alert the user to the touch operation or detection status of the sensor device 10.

[0052] In some embodiments, the feedback device 20 includes a vibration motor that provides physical feedback through vibration. The vibration motor can provide physical feedback through vibration to alert the user to the touch operation or detection status of the sensor device 10.

[0053] In some embodiments, the sensor 10 can generate different touch signals through touch, and the feedback device 20 can provide different physical feedback based on the different touch signals. In this way, the user can learn about the user's specific operation or the specific detection status of the sensor 10 through the physical feedback method of the feedback device 20, thereby further improving the interactive experience of the smart glasses 1000.

[0054] For example, when the feedback device 20 is a sound-emitting device, the sound-emitting device can emit different sounds according to different touch signals to prompt the user about the specific operation or the specific detection status of the sensor device 10. For example, during touch operation, when the sensor device 10 is pressed briefly, the sound-emitting device can emit a short prompt sound; when the sensor device 10 is pressed for a long time, the sound-emitting device can emit a continuous prompt sound.

[0055] For example, when the feedback device 20 is a vibration motor, the vibration motor can emit different vibration effects according to different touch signals to prompt the user about the specific operation or the specific detection status of the sensor device 10. For example, during touch operation, when the sensor device 10 is pressed briefly, the vibration motor can output a short vibration effect; when the sensor device 10 is pressed for a long time, the vibration motor can output a repetitive vibration effect.

[0056] like Figure 2 As shown, in some implementations, the feedback device 20 is located at the end of the ear loop 100 near the first temple 221. Since the ear loop 100 is located at the end of the first temple 221 furthest from the frame 210, when the user wears the smart glasses 1000, the first temple 221 rests on the user's ear, and the ear loop 100 is positioned behind the ear. By placing the feedback device 20 at the end of the ear loop 100 near the first temple 221, the feedback device 20 can be as close to the user's ear as possible, allowing the user to clearly perceive the physical feedback emitted by the feedback device 20.

[0057] like Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the ear hook 100 includes a housing 50 with a receiving cavity 50a. The sensor 10 and the feedback device 20 are both disposed within the receiving cavity 50a. The feedback device 20 is a buzzer or a speaker, and the sound output direction of the feedback device 20 is from the receiving cavity 50a towards the outside of the housing 50. This allows the feedback device 20 to emit sound outwards, thus providing clear feedback to the user.

[0058] like Figure 1and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing 50 has a first wall 501, a second wall 502, and a third wall 503. The first wall 501 is the wall of the housing 50 facing away from the second temple 222, the second wall 502 is the wall facing the second temple 222, and the third wall 503 is the peripheral wall located between the first wall 501 and the second wall 502. It can be understood that when a user wears the smart glasses 1000, the first wall 501 faces the human body, the second wall 502 faces away from the human body, and the third wall 503 faces the front, back, top, and bottom sides of the human body. It should be noted that the smart glasses 1000 has at least a first state, in which the first temple 221 is unfolded relative to the frame 210. The definition of the first wall 501, second wall 502, and third wall 503 in this application refers to the smart glasses being in the first state. Furthermore, the glasses body 200 also includes a second temple 222, in which the second temple 222 is unfolded relative to the frame 210 in the first state; the smart glasses 1000 also has a second state, in which the first temple 221 and the second temple 222 are folded into the frame 210.

[0059] The feedback device 20 can be placed at any suitable location in the accommodating cavity 50a. For example... Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the feedback device 20 is disposed on any wall surface other than the second wall surface 502. This allows the feedback device 20 to provide physical feedback from within the receiving cavity 10a to the outside. That is, preferably, the feedback device 20 can be disposed on the first wall surface 501 or the third wall surface 503. The device disposed on a wall surface as referred to in this application includes the device being disposed within the receiving cavity 50a and located on the side of the receiving cavity 50a closest to the wall surface, including the device being embedded in or attached to a housing having the wall surface. The wall surface includes an inner wall surface and an outer wall surface. In some embodiments, the housing 50 is provided with a sound receiving hole or sound output hole penetrating the wall surface and communicating with the receiving cavity 50a to facilitate the placement of the sound receiving device 60 and the feedback device 20.

[0060] In a further embodiment, the feedback device 20 is disposed on the third wall surface 503, so that the placement of the feedback device 20 and the sensor device 10 does not interfere with each other. Preferably, the feedback device 20 is disposed on the front side of the third wall surface 503. In this way, when the user wears the smart glasses 1000, the third wall surface 503 on the front side of the ear hook 100 faces the user's ear, so that the user can clearly hear the physical feedback emitted by the feedback device 20. Furthermore, the feedback device 20 is disposed on the front side of the third wall surface 503, and the feedback device 20 is close to the second wall surface 502. In this way, when the user wears the smart glasses 1000, the feedback device 20 can be closer to the user's ear.

[0061] In other embodiments, when the feedback device 20 is a bone conduction sound-generating device, the feedback device 20 is disposed on the first wall surface 501 to enhance the feedback conduction effect of bone conduction.

[0062] In some other embodiments, when the feedback device 20 is a vibration motor, the feedback device 20 may also be disposed on the second wall surface 502, so that the feedback device 20 can fit against the head of the human body to enhance the effect of feedback transmission.

[0063] like Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the ear loop 100 further includes a control component 30, which is connected to the sensor 10 and the feedback device 20 respectively. The control component 30 is used to receive touch signals and control the feedback device 20 to provide physical feedback according to the touch signals. The control component 30 can realize the main control function. The control component 30, the sensor 10, and the feedback device 20 are all disposed within the ear loop 100, which facilitates the connection between the devices and ensures a stable connection between them. Furthermore, integrating the devices within the ear loop 100 also allows for a compact arrangement of the devices, reducing the volume of the temples and facilitating stable wearing of the smart glasses 1000. In other embodiments, the control component 30 can also be disposed on the glasses body 200, without limitation, as long as it can realize the main control function.

[0064] For example, the operations that the control component 30 can perform include, but are not limited to, at least one of the following functions: turning on at least a portion of the circuit, turning off at least a portion of the circuit, turning on the display device in the smart glasses 1000, turning off the display device in the smart glasses 1000, adjusting the parameters of the display device, etc.

[0065] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the ear hook 100 further includes a battery module 40, which is disposed within the cavity of the ear hook 100 and connected to the control component 30. The battery module 40 can provide power to the smart glasses 1000 to facilitate its use.

[0066] like Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments, the ear hook 100 further includes a sound receiving device 60, which is located at the end of the ear hook 100 away from the first temple 221. The sound receiving device 60 is configured to receive external sounds. The sound receiving device 60 can collect sound information from the wearer or the outside world, enabling the wearer to perform functions such as voice interaction and sound source identification, thereby improving the user experience. When the user wears the smart glasses 1000, the first temple 221 rests on the user's ear, and the ear hook 100 is placed behind the ear. By placing the sound receiving device 60 at the end of the ear hook 100 away from the first temple 221, the sound receiving device 60 can face the back of the wearer, so that sound information from behind the wearer can be clearly obtained.

[0067] In some embodiments, the microphone 60 is disposed on any wall surface other than the second wall surface 502. This allows the microphone 60 to receive sound information from the wearer or the outside world. The definition of the microphone 60 being disposed on a wall surface is the same as the definition of the feedback device 20 being disposed on a wall surface, and will not be repeated here.

[0068] In a further embodiment, the microphone 60 is disposed on the third wall surface 503. This ensures that the microphone 60 and the sensor 10 are positioned without interference. Preferably, the microphone 60 is disposed on the rear side of the third wall surface 503 of the ear hook 100. This allows the microphone 60 to face behind the wearer when the user wears the smart glasses 1000, enabling clear acquisition of sound information from behind the wearer.

[0069] In some embodiments, the feedback device 20 is a buzzer or a loudspeaker, and the sound receiving direction of the receiver 60 is not opposite to the sound output direction of the feedback device 20. The receiver 60 and the feedback device 20 can be located on the same side of the accommodating cavity 50a, as long as the sound receiving direction of the receiver 60 is not opposite to the sound output direction of the feedback device 20. This is to avoid the sound emitted by the feedback device 20 interfering with the receiver 60 and to improve the sound reception effect. Preferably, the feedback device 20 is located on the front side of the third wall surface 503, and the receiver 60 is located on the rear side of the third wall surface 503.

[0070] like Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the sensor 10, feedback device 20, microphone 60, control component 30, and battery module 40 are all located on the ear hook 100, giving the ear hook 100 a certain weight. It should be noted that the frame 210 of the smart glasses 1000 itself has a certain weight, and its head also houses structures such as optical-mechanical components. Therefore, it can be seen that the front of the smart glasses 1000 has a certain weight, and by assigning a certain weight to the ear hook 100, the weight of the smart glasses 1000 can be balanced front to back, which is beneficial for the stable wearing of the smart glasses 1000.

[0071] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the sensor 10 is connected to the housing 50, and a touch surface is formed on the outer surface of the housing 50. The user can generate a touch signal by touching the touch surface. Connecting the sensor 10 to the housing 50 greatly improves its sensitivity, facilitating detection and user operation.

[0072] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the glasses body 200 further includes a flexible circuit board 230. The housing 50 has an opening communicating with the receiving cavity 50a. One end of the flexible circuit board 230 passes through the opening into the receiving cavity 50a to connect to the control component 30. The flexible circuit board 230 passes through the glasses body 200 to connect the electronic devices of the ear hook 100 and other electronic devices of the glasses body 200, thereby realizing the connection between the various electronic devices in the smart glasses 1000.

[0073] In some embodiments, the housing 50 includes an inner housing 51 and an outer housing 52 connected to each other, the inner housing 51 and the outer housing 52 surrounding each other to form a receiving cavity 50a, and an opening communicating with the receiving cavity 50a is formed between the inner housing 51 and the outer housing 52 to facilitate the connection of the flexible circuit board 230 and the electronic devices in the ear loop 100.

[0074] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the sensor device 10 includes a first touchpad 10a, which is located on a first wall surface 501 and / or a third wall surface 503. When a user wears the smart glasses 1000, the first wall surface 501 and the third wall surface 503 are not in contact with the human body, and thus, the first touchpad 10a is also not in contact with the human body. Therefore, the first touchpad 10a can serve as a control device for touch operation by the user; for example, the display content of the smart glasses 1000 can be controlled by touching the first touchpad 10a.

[0075] For example, the first touch panel 10a may be connected to the outer surface of the housing 50 to form a touch surface on the outer surface of the housing 50; alternatively, the first touch panel 10a may be connected to the inner surface of the housing 50 to form a touch surface on the outer surface of the housing 50; or, the first touch panel 10a may be partially connected to the outer surface and partially connected to the inner surface of the housing 50 to form a touch surface on the outer surface of the housing 50. The first touch panel 10a may also be embedded in the housing 50. Preferably, the first touch panel 10a is disposed on the side of the housing 50 facing the receiving cavity 50a, so that the first touch panel 10a is protected by the wall surface.

[0076] like Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the sensor 10 further includes a touch circuit board 12 connected to the first touchpad 10a. When a user touches the first touchpad 10a, the capacitance of the first touchpad 10a changes, and this change is transmitted to the touch circuit board 12, thereby generating a control signal. The touch circuit board 12 can be the control component 30, or it can be a circuit board connected to the control component 30; there is no limitation on this.

[0077] For example, the touch circuit board 12 is disposed within the accommodating cavity 50a, and the first touch panel 10a can be connected to the touch circuit board 12 via an electrical connector 13. The electrical connector 13 can be a spring or other conductive element.

[0078] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the sensor device 10 includes a second touchpad 10b located on the second wall surface 502. When a user wears the smart glasses 1000, the second wall surface 502 is in contact with the human body, and thus, the second touchpad 10b is also in contact with the human body. Therefore, the second touchpad 10b can serve as a detection device; for example, it can detect whether the user is wearing the glasses stably by having the second touchpad 10b contact the human body.

[0079] For example, the second touch panel 10b may be connected to the outer surface of the housing 50 to form a touch surface on the outer surface of the housing 50; alternatively, the second touch panel 10b may be connected to the inner surface of the housing 50 to form a touch surface on the outer surface of the housing 50; or alternatively, the second touch panel 10b may be partially connected to the outer surface of the housing 50 and partially connected to the inner surface of the housing 50 to form a touch surface on the outer surface of the housing 50. The second touch panel 10b may also be embedded in the housing 50. Preferably, the second touch panel 10b is disposed on the side of the housing 50 facing the receiving cavity 50a, so that the second touch panel 10b is protected by the wall of the housing 10.

[0080] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the second touchpad 10b is connected to the touch circuit board 12. When the second touchpad 10b comes into contact with a human body, its capacitance changes. This change is transmitted to the touch circuit board 12, thereby generating a detection signal. The touch circuit board 12 can be the control component 30, or a circuit board connected to the control component 30; there is no limitation on its functionality.

[0081] For example, the touch circuit board 12 is disposed within the accommodating cavity 50a, and the second touch panel 10b can be connected to the touch circuit board 12 via an electrical connector 13. The electrical connector 13 can be a spring or other conductive element.

[0082] like Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the first touchpad 10a has metal electrodes laser-engraved, printed, or embedded on the outer or inner surface of the housing 50. In some embodiments, the second touchpad 10b has metal electrodes laser-engraved, printed, or embedded on the outer or inner surface of the housing 50. This effectively reduces the weight and volume of the earpiece 100, reduces structural risks such as loosening of the metal electrodes or aging from long-term use, and avoids thermal expansion of the touch circuit board 12, metal electrodes, and adhesive at elevated temperatures, which could lead to capacitance deviations in the metal electrodes. In particular, it avoids capacitance deviations caused by residual heat left after a user's finger touches the housing 50.

[0083] For example, the process used for laser engraving the metal electrode onto the housing 50 can be LDS (Laser Direct Structuring). Specifically, LDS involves laser activation of at least one of the outer and inner surfaces of the housing 50 to generate a micro-rough surface with high adhesion, and then depositing and penetrating the laser-treated metal electrode onto this surface. Preferably, the metal electrode is made of a metallization material with high adhesion.

[0084] For example, the process used to print metal electrodes onto the housing 50 can be at least one of PDS (Print Direct Structuring) and LRP (Laser Restructuring Printing). Specifically, PDS is a process of printing circuits on the housing 50 using silver paste, while LRP is a three-dimensional printing process in which conductive silver paste is applied at high speed and with precision to the surface of the housing 50 to form a three-dimensional circuit shape, and then trimmed by three-dimensional controlled laser to form a high-precision circuit interconnection structure.

[0085] For example, the metal electrode is embedded in the housing 50. Specifically, a mounting groove corresponding to the metal electrode can be opened on at least one of the outer surface and inner surface of the housing 50, and the metal electrode can be embedded and installed in the mounting groove.

[0086] In some embodiments, the control component 30 is disposed on the side of the accommodating cavity 50a near the first wall surface 501, and the metal electrode of the first touch panel 10a is connected to the control component 30. It can be understood that the control component 30 is the touch circuit board 12 for the first touch panel 10a to connect to. The metal electrode of the first touch panel 10a can be electrically connected to the control component 30 via electrical connectors 13 such as springs, thereby further reducing the thickness of the sensor 10 and improving the sensitivity of the sensor 10. In this embodiment, the control component 30 is located away from the second wall surface 502, and the metal electrode of the second touch panel 10b can be connected to a flexible printed circuit board via electrical connectors 13 such as springs, and then connected to the control component 30 via the flexible printed circuit board. The flexible printed circuit board is the touch circuit board 12 for the second touch panel 10b to connect to, thus improving the convenience and stability of long-distance connections.

[0087] In some embodiments, the control component 30 is disposed on the side of the accommodating cavity 50a near the second wall surface 502, and the metal electrode of the second touch panel 10b is connected to the control component 30. It can be understood that the control component 30 is the touch circuit board 12 for the second touch panel 10b to connect to. The metal electrode of the second touch panel 10b can be electrically connected to the control component 30 via electrical connectors 13 such as springs, to further reduce the thickness of the sensor 10 and improve the sensitivity of the sensor 10. In this embodiment, the control component 30 is located away from the first wall surface 501, and the metal electrode of the first touch panel 10a can be connected to a flexible printed circuit board via electrical connectors 13 such as springs, and then connected to the control component 30 via the flexible printed circuit board. The flexible printed circuit board is the touch circuit board 12 for the first touch panel 10a to connect to, thus improving the convenience and stability of long-distance connections.

[0088] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the first touchpad 10a includes pads 111 and an insulating layer 113, with the insulating layer 113 covering the pads 111. In some embodiments, the second touchpad 10b includes pads 111 and an insulating layer 113, with the insulating layer 113 covering the pads 111. The pads 111 are either grid-shaped or circular. The applied insulating layer 113 protects the first touchpad 10a and / or the second touchpad 10b, and also smooths the surfaces of the first touchpad 10a and / or the second touchpad 10b, facilitating touch operation and detection.

[0089] Depending on the different requirements of the sensor chip 10, in some embodiments, the first touchpad 10a and the second touchpad 10b may also be provided with a grounding element 112 in addition to the emitting electrode to improve touch stability. For example... Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the first touch panel 10a and the second touch panel 10b are configured as self-capacitance touch panels. The first touch panel 10a further includes a grounding element 112, which is spaced apart around the pad 111. In some embodiments, the second touch panel 10b further includes a grounding element 112, which is spaced apart around the pad 111.

[0090] For example, the grounding element 112 can form a capacitor with the pad 111, so that the corresponding first touch panel 10a and / or second touch panel 10b are self-capacitive touch panels. This touch panel structure is simple and more responsive.

[0091] In other examples, the first touchpad 10a or the second touchpad 10b may also be a mutual capacitance touchpad, which can achieve multi-touch and more accurate detection.

[0092] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the pad 111 and the grounding element 112 are both connected to the outer surface of the housing 50, and the electrical connector 13 is disposed through the housing 50. One end of the electrical connector 13 is connected to the touch circuit board 12, and the other end is connected to the pad 111 and the grounding element 112 to realize the electrical connection between the metal electrode and the touch circuit board 12.

[0093] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, both the pad 111 and the grounding element 112 are connected to the inner surface of the housing 50. One end of the electrical connector 13 is connected to the touch circuit board 12, and the other end is connected to the pad 111 and the grounding element 112 to realize the electrical connection between the metal electrode and the touch circuit board 12.

[0094] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the pad 111 is connected to the outer surface of the housing 50, the grounding member 112 is connected to the inner surface of the housing 50, some electrical connectors pass through the housing 50 to connect the pad 111 and the touch circuit board 12, and some electrical connectors 13 are directly connected to the grounding member 112 and the touch circuit board 12 to realize the electrical connection between the metal electrode and the touch circuit board 12.

[0095] In some embodiments, the pad 111 is connected to the inner surface of the housing 50, the grounding member 112 is connected to the outer surface of the housing 50, some electrical connectors pass through the housing 50 to connect the grounding member 112 and the touch circuit board 12, and some electrical connectors 13 are directly connected to the pad 111 and the touch circuit board 12 to realize the electrical connection between the metal electrode and the touch circuit board 12.

[0096] In some embodiments, the sensor device 10 further includes a touch chip, and both the first touchpad 10a and the second touchpad 10b are connected to the touch chip, which is electrically connected to the control component 30. After detecting a touch signal, the sensor device 10 transmits the signal to the touch chip, which then generates a control signal and / or a detection signal. Specifically, when a user touches the first touchpad 10a, the capacitance of the first touchpad 10a changes, and this change is transmitted to the touch chip to generate a control signal; when the second touchpad 10b comes into contact with the user's head, the capacitance of the second touchpad 10b changes, and this change is transmitted to the touch chip to generate a detection signal.

[0097] The touch chip can send control signals and / or detection signals to the control component 30, so that the control component 30 can perform corresponding control and / or feedback based on the control signals and / or detection signals. The touch chip can be directly connected to the control component 30 or indirectly connected to the control component 30. For example, the touch chip can be directly connected to a flexible printed circuit board, so that it can be connected to the control component 30 through the flexible printed circuit board.

[0098] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the ear-mount 1000 further includes a first electrical connector 70 disposed within the accommodating cavity 50a. The first electrical connector 70 electrically connects each electronic module to the control component 30. The first electrical connector 70 can connect electronic modules and the control component 30 that are located far from the control component 30, improving the convenience and stability of long-distance connections. It is understood that, depending on the location of each electronic module, one or more first electrical connectors 70 can be provided, as long as a compact and stable connection of each electronic module is achieved.

[0099] In some embodiments, the first electrical connector 70 is a flexible printed circuit board. The flexible printed circuit board can be bent so that it can achieve a compact and stable connection with the various electronic modules.

The first touch panel 10a, the feedback device 20, and the microphone 60 are all connected to the first electrical connector 70, which is connected to the control component 30.
