[0029] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to all the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Example 1 This application discloses a wearable host 101.

[0031] Please see Figure 1-3 The first embodiment of this application provides a wearable host 101, including a housing 1, a motherboard 2, a battery 3, a position sensing module 4, and a sound module 5. The motherboard 2 is disposed inside the housing 1, and the battery 3 is disposed opposite to and electrically connected to the motherboard 2. The position sensing module 4 is integrated on the motherboard 2 and is used to sense slave devices 102 within a preset distance. The microphone 51 of the sound module 5 is fixed to the first surface 21 of the motherboard 2 and electrically connected to the motherboard 2. The housing 1 has a first hole 11 corresponding to the microphone 51. The sound module 5 responds to the user's voice and transmits it to the signal processing module 23 for signal processing, enabling the slave device 102 to interact with the user based on the user's voice content. This achieves a cooperative interaction between the wearable host 101 and the slave device 102, enhancing the fun and effectiveness of companionship.

[0032] Specifically, the housing 1 serves to protect and house the internal components. The housing 1 includes a bottom shell, an upper shell 15, and a middle frame 16 located between the upper shell 15 and the lower shell 14. In this embodiment, the housing 1 is made of ABS plastic. ABS plastic has excellent mechanical properties, high toughness, high elasticity, and is easy to process and mold. Therefore, when a wearable host 101 is impacted, the housing 1 can mitigate the impact force, making the wearable host 101 more impact-resistant. In other embodiments, the housing 1 can also be made of metal. Metal can enhance the heat dissipation performance of the wearable host 101 and has a metallic luster, making the wearable host 101 more aesthetically pleasing.

[0033] The motherboard 2 integrates a signal processing module 23. The motherboard 2 generally uses a printed circuit board, which has advantages such as high wiring density and small size. The signal processing module 23 can be a high-performance processor capable of quickly processing various signals such as sound and position.

[0034] Battery 3 is positioned opposite to and electrically connected to motherboard 2, providing power support for the wearable host 101 as a whole. In this embodiment, battery 3 is a lithium battery, which has high energy density, long lifespan, and low self-discharge rate; the wearable host 101 has a charging interface pre-set on the surface of motherboard 2 to charge battery 3.

[0035] The position sensing module 4 includes a position sensor 41 and a communication unit 42 integrated on the motherboard 2. The position sensor 41 can be an IMU sensor, which can accurately sense the position and attitude information of the wearable host 101. The communication unit 42 can be a WiFi / Bluetooth communicator, so that the wearable host 101 can wirelessly communicate with the slave devices 102 within a preset distance. Through the IMU sensor and the WiFi / Bluetooth communicator, the position sensing module 4 can sense the slave devices 102 within the preset distance in real time for subsequent interactive operations.

[0036] Information from the IMU sensor detecting user actions and the WiFi / Bluetooth communicator detecting the connection status between the wearable host 101 and the slave 102 are transmitted to the motherboard 2. The motherboard 2 determines whether the user is currently using the wearable host 101 and controls the wearable host 101 to enter a working state or a standby state. In this embodiment, when the IMU sensor detects that the wearable host 101 is in a static state for 1 minute, and the WiFi / Bluetooth communicator detects that the wearable host 101 has been disconnected from the slave 102 for 5 minutes, the motherboard 2 controls the wearable host 101 to enter a standby state. In the standby state, the overall power consumption of the wearable host 101 is no more than 5mA.

[0037] Please see Figure 4-5The sound module 5 includes a microphone 51, a speaker 52, and a pickup element 53. The microphone 51 is fixed to the first surface 21 of the motherboard 2 and electrically connected to the motherboard 2. The housing 1 is provided with a first hole 11 corresponding to the microphone 51. The microphone 51 can be an electret microphone 51, which has a simple structure, good electroacoustic performance, and can accurately sense the user's voice signal.

[0038] Specifically, the microphone 51 abuts against the pickup element 53. The pickup element 53 has a cylindrical structure and its top surface is an arc surface that matches the upper shell 15. The pickup element 53 is located between the surface of the microphone 51 and the shell 1. The pickup element 53 has a pickup hole 531 corresponding to the microphone 51, and the diameter of the pickup hole 531 is 1mm. The pickup element 53, in conjunction with the pickup hole 531 and the first hole 11, improves the directivity and selectivity of the microphone 51 in collecting sound signals, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the collected sound signals. Users can face the microphone 51 to input sound signals through the location of the pickup hole 531 and the first hole 11, thereby reducing interference from ambient noise. The pickup element 53 can be made of porous sound-absorbing material, such as polyester fiber sound-absorbing cotton, or a composite material with metal mesh supporting the sound-absorbing cotton, thereby effectively filtering ambient noise and improving the quality of sound acquisition.

[0039] The microphone 53 is fixed to the upper surface 13 of the housing 1 by a fixing plate 532. The fixing plate 532 can guide light and can be made of a light-transmitting engineering plastic material, such as polycarbonate, which can achieve high-definition light guidance. The fixing plate 532 includes a through hole corresponding to the position of the microphone hole 531 and fixing holes 533 located on both sides of the microphone 53. The upper surface 13 of the housing 1 is provided with a protrusion 131, which cooperates with the fixing holes 533 to fix the microphone 53, thereby facilitating assembly and disassembly.

[0040] The speaker 52 is fixed to the second surface 22 of the motherboard 2 and electrically connected to the motherboard 2. The housing 1 has a second hole 12 corresponding to the speaker 52. The speaker 52 is positioned between the battery 3 and the middle frame 16, so that only the middle frame 16 blocks the speaker 52 from outputting sound signals to the outside, avoiding interference from other components in the transmission of sound signals, and optimizing the spatial layout. The speaker 52 can be a miniature dynamic speaker 52, which is small in size and has good electroacoustic performance. The second hole 12 reduces the obstruction of the housing 1 to the sound signal output by the speaker 52, and by setting the arrangement of the second hole 12, the sound waveform can be converged, so that the user can clearly receive the sound signal fed back by the wearable host 101.

[0041] When a user makes a sound, the microphone 51 captures the sound signal and transmits it to the signal processing module 23. The signal processing module 23 then sends the processed signal to the slave device 102, which interacts with the user based on the sound content.

[0042] In this embodiment, the wearable host 101 also includes a light-emitting module 6 electrically connected to the motherboard 2. The light-emitting module 6 includes a light-emitting chip 61 and a light guide 62. The projection of the light guide 62 toward the motherboard 2 covers the light-emitting chip 61. The light-emitting module 6 and the microphone 51 are integrated into one unit to achieve a compact and miniaturized structure. The light-emitting chip 61 can be an LED light-emitting chip 61, which has advantages such as energy saving and long lifespan. The light guide 62 can be a light-transmitting engineering plastic to uniformly scatter the light emitted by the light-emitting chip 61 to reduce eye stimulation and optimize the user experience. The light beam emitted by the light-emitting module 6 can be transmitted through the light-transmitting shell 1, serving as a light indicator for standby mode.

[0043] In this embodiment, the wearable host 101 also includes a magnetic charging connector 7 electrically connected to the motherboard 2. The magnetic charging connector 7 includes a charging terminal 71. The lower shell 14 has a through hole 141 that exposes the charging terminal 71, thereby facilitating charging of the wearable host 101. The wearable host 101 also includes a power button 8 and a reset button 9 disposed in the middle frame 16. The power button 8 is used to turn the wearable host 101 on and off, and the reset button 9 is used to restore the default settings of the wearable host 101.

[0044] The implementation principle of a wearable host 101 according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: the wearable host 101 collects the sound signal emitted by the user through a microphone 51, senses the slave device 102 within a preset distance through a position sensor 41, and transmits the sound information and position information to a signal processing module 23; the signal processing module 23 establishes a connection between the wearable host 101 and the slave device 102 through a communication unit 42, and enables the slave device 102 to interact with the user based on the content of the sound information. Alternatively, the wearable host 101 can also control a speaker 52 through a motherboard 2 to directly provide feedback on the user's sound information, thereby realizing voice interaction between the wearable host 101 and the user.

[0045] The signal processing module 23 receives the sound information transmitted by the microphone 51 and controls the light effect of the light-emitting module 6 to provide real-time feedback to the user on the processing status of the sound information by the wearable host 101.

[0046] Example 2 This application also discloses a companion toy.

[0047] Please see Figure 6-7 The second embodiment of this application provides a companion toy, which includes a wearable host 101, a slave 102 and a cloud 103, and the wearable host 101, slave 102 and cloud 103 are interconnected.

[0048] The implementation principle of a companion toy according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: the wearable host 101 can respond to the user's voice content and transmit it to the cloud 103. The cloud 103 processes the voice content and makes a response based on the voice content. The response is transmitted to the wearable host 101, and then transmitted to the slave device 102, so that the response is output from the slave device 102. The slave device 102 is set in the doll, so that the doll can interact intelligently with the user.

[0049] The number of slave devices 102 is unlimited; there can be one or more, each set in a different doll.

[0050] The wearable main unit 101 can be worn on the wrist in the form of a watch or hung around the neck via a lanyard. One application scenario for the wearable main unit 101 and slave unit 102 is companionship, for example, for young children. The wearable main unit 101 can emit preset voices through the speaker 52, such as a voice reminding the user to wear the device and a voice indicating the user's location; the microphone 51 of the wearable main unit 101 receives the user's voice.

[0051] In this embodiment, the internal components of the slave device 102 are basically the same as those of the wearable host device 101. The slave device 102 does not include a microphone or a light-emitting module, because the slave device 102 does not need to receive the user's voice or indicate the power-on status through lights. The appearance can be different to distinguish the host and slave devices, and there are also some differences in the motherboard program, allowing the host and slave devices to perform different functions. The wearable host device 101 is worn by the user, while the slave device 102 is generally placed inside the doll. When the user wears the host device and passes through the area where the slave devices are located, the wearable host device 101 can sense the surrounding slave devices 102 and cause the slave devices 102 to emit sounds that interact with the user. Furthermore, the wearable host device 101 can interact with the slave devices 102 based on the user's voice content, allowing the doll to accompany the user like a family member or friend. In other words, the wearable host 101 receives the user's voice content, processes it through the cloud, and finally interacts with the user through the slave device 102. The motherboard and the cloud will process and calculate the user's voice to obtain the reply content. The voice reply from the slave device 102 can be the voice of a loved one stored in the cloud, or the voice of a small animal, allowing the user to experience the joy of companionship.

[0052] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
