[0002] A head mounted device is a human-computer interaction device. Common head mounted device systems include external systems and integrated systems. The external head mounted device system is provided with an independent screen and a computer host and an input / output device that are connected to the independent screen. The integrated head mounted device system does not have any input / output device, and a data processor is also disposed in the head mounted device.

[0003] Refer to FIG. 1-2 for a display system of the head mounted device 13. A display module 21 is carried in a spectacle frame 131, and includes a backlight module 211, a display screen 212, and a lens group 213. An image displayed on the display screen 212 forms an image in eyes, of a wearer, that is close to the lens group 213 through the lens group 213. The backlight module 211 can provide sufficient brightness and uniformly distributed light sources, so that the display screen 212 can display images normally.

[0004] However, because the head mounted device 13 needs to be worn like ordinary glasses, the spectacle frame 131 is required to be thin and light as possible.

Regarding the thin and light head mounted device 13, the display screen 212 thereof is closer to the eyes. Further, the display screen 212 of the head mounted device respectively provides images for left and right eye.

[0046] At present, a video image displayed in a head mounted display device that is thin and light may form a smear in eyes of a wearer, and thus experience effects of the wearer are affected. On the basis of this problem, embodiments of this application provide a backlight apparatus control system and terminal of a head mounted device. A PWM pulse sequence signal is generated by using a duty ratio suitable for a display system and an appropriate delay, and amplification of a PWM pulse sequence is better adjusted in combination with current control of a backlight circuit, so that the PWM pulse sequence signal can be continuously optimized and adjusted, thus adjusting the backlight circuit to be turned on or off more accurately. In this way, a problem that a video image and the like displayed in the display system forms a smear is resolved.

[0047] FIG. 2 is a structural diagram of a backlight apparatus control system of a head mounted device illustrated in an embodiment of this application. As shown in FIG. 2, the system includes a backlight circuit 2 and a display system 3 of a head mounted device 13, and further includes a PWM signal parameter processor 4, a PWM signal generator 5, a PWM signal driver 6, and a brightness signal collection circuit 7 that are sequentially connected.

[0048] The PWM signal parameter processor 4 may obtain a display parameter of the display system 3, generate a control parameter of a PWM signal based on the display parameter, and further convert the control parameter as a control signal to be output to the PWM signal generator 5.

[0049] The display parameter may be used to indicate feedback data about display effects of a video image and the like in the display system 3. The feedback data may be obtained by testing big data or a big sample, and specifically includes a pulse width (or duty ratio) and pulse delay time of a PWM pulse sequence that can reflect optimum display effects. These signal data may be stored in a memory or a register of a processor. Meaning of generation is to read the signal data from the memory or the register and output the same to the PWM signal generator 5. Moreover, the control parameter includes a pulse width and pulse delay time of a specific PWM pulse sequence that is obtained.

[0050] The PWM signal generator 5 generates a corresponding PWM pulse sequence signal based on a synchronization signal of an image display frame of the display system 3 and the control signal, and outputs the PWM pulse sequence signal to the PWM signal driver 6.

[0051] The display parameter includes data of the image display frame of the display system 3. The PWM signal parameter processor 4 may determine sequence composition, such as arrangement of high and low levels of the sequence, of the synchronization signal of the image display frame based on the image display frame. A PWM pulse sequence signal with an appropriate pulse width (or duty ratio) and pulse delay time may be analyzed and determined in combination with the control parameter and the like that are previously obtained.

[0052] Since a transient smearing phenomenon occurs when each frame of an image is changed, a black frame needs to be inserted between image frames to avoid a smear. The PWM signal parameter processor 4 can determine a time gap between adjacent image frames through data of the image display frame, and generate a control signal. In this way, the control signal can instruct the backlight circuit to be turned off when a time gap between adjacent image frames occurs, thus inserting a black frame between image frames can be realized. However, when the image frame is normally displayed, the backlight circuit needs to be turned on.

[0053] In addition, in this embodiment of this application, the backlight circuit is controlled to be turned on or off through the PWM pulse sequence signal. When a high level occurs in the PWM pulse sequence, the backlight circuit may be instructed to be turned on, and when a low level occurs in the PWM pulse sequence, the backlight circuit may be instructed to be turned off.

[0054] PWM (pulse width modulation) is an analog control method. A basic principle of PWM is to control on and off of a switching device of an inverter circuit, so that an output end obtains a series of pulses with equal amplitudes. These pulses are used to replace with sine wave or a required waveform. In the PWM pulse sequence, amplitudes of all pulses are equal. An amplitude of an equivalent output sine wave may be changed merely by changing widths of various pulses according to a same proportional coefficient. Therefore, in an AC-DC-AC frequency converter, a pulse voltage output by a PWM inverter circuit is an amplitude of a DC side voltage.

[0055] The PWM signal driver 6 amplifies the PWM pulse sequence signal, and outputs the amplified PWM pulse sequence signal to the backlight circuit 2, so that the backlight circuit 2 is turned on or off through control of the PWM pulse sequence signal.

[0056] The brightness signal collection circuit 7 collects a current signal of the backlight circuit 2, and outputs the current signal to the PWM signal driver 6, to control the PWM signal driver 6 to amplify the PWM pulse sequence signal.

[0057] A process of collecting a brightness signal may be regarded as a feedback process. Amplification degree of the PWM pulse sequence signal is continuously adjusted by determining a current situation of the backlight circuit 2, so that an image is displayed with better brightness.

[0058] In view of the above, according to the backlight apparatus control system of a head mounted device in the foregoing embodiment, a PWM pulse sequence signal may be generated by using a duty ratio suitable for a display system and an appropriate delay, and amplification of the PWM pulse sequence may be better adjusted in combination with current control of the backlight circuit 2, so that the PWM pulse sequence signal can be continuously optimized and adjusted, thus adjusting the backlight circuit 2 to be turned on or off more accurately. In this way, a problem that a video image displayed in the display system 3 forms a smear is resolved.

[0059] FIG. 3 is a structural diagram of another backlight apparatus control system of a head mounted device illustrated in an embodiment of this application. As shown in FIG. 3, the foregoing system may further include a sensor 8 connected to the head mounted device 13 and a signal parser 9 connected to the sensor 8.

[0060] The sensor 8 collects an action signal output by the head mounted device 13, and outputs the action signal to the signal parser 9. The signal parser 9 converts the action signal as action data, and outputs the action data to the PWM signal parameter processor 4.

[0061] The action signal may be used to indicate a direction of a head action, an angle of the action, a distance of the action, a speed of the action, or the like of a user who wears the head mounted device. It may also be understood as that the action signal indicates a posture of the head mounted device, that is, a direction of gravity, a direction of rotation, and the like. In this embodiment of this application, to find an optimum control parameter of the backlight circuit 2, an action of the user needs to be detected. When an image has a smear or poor look and feel occurs, the user may shake the head to change a posture of the head mounted device 13. Changes of the posture may be detected by the sensor 8. Thus, whether current image quality satisfies the requirements may be learned through a series of calculations.

[0062] In some embodiments, the sensor 8 may be an acceleration sensor. The acceleration sensor collects a gravity acceleration signal output by the head mounted device 13, and outputs the gravity acceleration signal to the signal parser 9.

[0063] In this case, the action data includes gravity acceleration data, and the PWM signal parameter processor 4 needs to perform the following steps to obtain the control parameter.

[0064] Step S101. Select a video file, and set a PWM parameter table for image playing, where the parameter table includes control parameters for controlling the backlight circuit 2 to be turned on or off.

[0065] In the embodiments of this application, some image data of the video file may serve as the display parameter in the foregoing embodiments. After obtaining the image data, the PWM signal parameter processor 4 may analyze a series of optional control parameters, but which control parameter can make the image displayed optimally cannot be determined yet for the moment. Therefore, further screening needs to be performed in combination with the gravity acceleration data.

[0066] Step SI02. Play the video file in the head mounted device 13 according to the parameter table; and periodically collect the gravity acceleration data, to generate gravity acceleration data code according to a set rule.

[0067] Because there are a series of control parameters in the parameter table, in order to screen, all control parameters need to be tested. In other words, the video file is respectively played based on a PWM pulse width and pulse delay time in each control parameter. While playing the video file, the gravity acceleration data further needs to be collected because when the user is viewing a video, whether quality of the viewed image satisfies the requirements, whether there is a smear, and other problems may be fed back through shaking the head and other actions. The user may generate gravity acceleration data during the feedback, and the PWM signal parameter processor 4 may analyze the data to analyze whether the user is satisfied with the image quality.

[0068] Step SI03. Determinewhether the code is qualified data code, and if the code is not qualified data code, continue to periodically collect the gravity acceleration data.

[0069] The PWM signal parameter processor 4 may generate gravity acceleration data code based on the gravity acceleration data according to a preset conversion rule, and then determine the gravity acceleration data code based on code corresponding to a preset satisfactory posture and the like. If the gravity acceleration data code is the same with or similar to the code corresponding to the preset satisfactory posture, the gravity acceleration data code may be regarded as qualified code.

[0070] Step S104. If the code is qualified data code, determine whether a currently played image is an optimum image based on the data code, and obtain a control parameter corresponding to the optimum image if the image is an optimum image; and if the image is not an optimum image, continue to play the video file in the head mounted device 13 according to the parameter table or exit.

[0071] Finally, the control parameter corresponding to the optimum image is determined as an optimum parameter for playing the video file. Subsequently, the video file may be directly played based on this control parameter, thus avoiding an image smear.

[0072] In some embodiments, the sensor 8 may alternatively be a gyro sensor, a geomagnetic sensor, a combination of any two or three sensors including the foregoing acceleration sensor. The gyro sensor collects an angular velocity signal output by the head mounted device 13. The geomagnetic sensor collects a direction signal output by the head mounted device 13. Functions of the gyro sensor and the geomagnetic sensor are same to a function of the acceleration sensor.

[0073] When the sensor 8 is a gyro sensor, the action data includes angular velocity data. Moreover, in the foregoing step SI02, the angular velocity data needs to be periodically collected, to generate angular velocity data code according to a set rule. In the foregoing step SI03, if the code is not qualified data code, the angular velocity data is continued to be periodically collected.

[0074] When the sensor 8 is a geomagnetic sensor, the action data includes direction data. Moreover, in the foregoing step SI02, the direction data needs to be periodically collected, to generate direction data code according to a set rule. In the foregoing step SI03, if the code is not qualified data code, the direction data is continued to be periodically collected.

[0075] When the sensor 8 is an acceleration sensor and a gyro sensor, the action data includes gravity acceleration data and angular velocity data. Moreover, in the foregoing step SI02, the gravity acceleration data and the angular velocity data need to be periodically collected, to generate angular velocity data code according to a set rule. In the foregoing step S103, if the code is not qualified data code, the gravity acceleration data and the angular velocity data are continued to be periodically collected.

[0076] When the sensor 8 is an acceleration sensor and a geomagnetic sensor, the action data includes gravity acceleration data and direction data. Moreover, in the foregoing step SI02, the gravity acceleration data and the direction data need to be periodically collected, to generate angular velocity data code according to a set rule. In the foregoing step SI 03, if the code is not qualified data code, the gravity acceleration data and the direction data are continued to be periodically collected.

[0077] When the sensor 8 is a gyro sensor and a geomagnetic sensor, the action data includes angular velocity data and direction data. Moreover, in the foregoing step SI02, the angular velocity data and the direction data need to be periodically collected, to generate angular velocity data code according to a set rule. In the foregoing step SI03, if the code is not qualified data code, the angular velocity data and the direction data are continued to be periodically collected.

[0078] When the sensor 8 is an acceleration sensor, a gyro sensor, and a geomagnetic sensor, the action data includes gravity acceleration data, angular velocity data, and direction data. Moreover, in the foregoing step SI02, the gravity acceleration data, the angular velocity data, and the direction data need to be periodically collected, to generate angular velocity data code according to a set rule. In the foregoing step SI03, if the code is not qualified data code, the gravity acceleration data, the angular velocity data, and the direction data are continued to be periodically collected.
