[0048] The present invention provides a virtual reality glove 100 .

[0049] In an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG1 to FIG8 , the virtual reality glove 100 includes:

[0050] Glove body 110;

[0051] The heating module 120 is provided on the glove body 110 and is used to heat the container to be heated held by the glove body 110;

[0052] The control module 130 is provided in the glove body 110 and is electrically connected to the heating module 120;

[0053] The communication module 140 is provided in the glove body 110 and is electrically connected to the control module 130; and

[0054] A mode switching switch is provided on the glove body 110 and is electrically connected to the control module 130;

[0055] The virtual reality glove 100 switches between real application mode and virtual application mode through a mode switch; in the real application mode, the control module 130 can control the operation of the heating module 120; in the virtual application mode, the control module 130 communicates with the virtual reality device through the communication module 140 to send a trigger instruction to the virtual reality device to capture the movement of the glove body 110.

[0056] Specifically, the heating module 120 and the control module 130 are both located within the glove body 110. The heating module 120 is capable of heating a container held by the glove body 110 and is electrically connected to the control module 130. The container contains a liquid to be heated. In real-life use, the user can wear the virtual reality glove 100 and hold the container. The control module 130 then controls the heating module 120 to heat the container, thereby heating the liquid to a preset temperature. This allows the virtual reality glove 100 to heat the container in real life.

[0057] The virtual reality device can construct a virtual space that replicates the same real scene. The virtual reality device can be a product such as AR glasses or VR glasses. The mode switching switch can enable the virtual reality glove 100 to switch between the real application mode and the virtual application mode. That is, the mode switching switch can control the communication connection between the virtual reality glove 100 and the virtual reality device. For example, when the user wears the virtual reality device, the mode switching switch is turned on to enter the metaverse world. Then, the control module 130 communicates with the virtual reality device through the communication module 140, thereby connecting the virtual reality glove 100 to the metaverse and sending a trigger instruction to capture the movement of the glove body 110 to the virtual reality device, so that the virtual reality device can capture the movement of the glove body 110 and map it to the metaverse world. That is, when the user wears the virtual reality glove 100 and performs an action, such as moving, holding or opening the virtual reality glove 100, the virtual glove in the metaverse world can also perform the same action. In this way, the user can control the virtual reality glove 100 in real life and then control the virtual glove to perform corresponding functions in the metaverse. For example, by controlling the movement of the virtual reality glove 100, the virtual glove moves close to the virtual container to be heated in the metaverse, and then by controlling the virtual reality glove 100 to perform a gripping action, the virtual glove grips the virtual container to be heated in the metaverse, causing the virtual glove to heat the virtual container to be heated, so that the virtual liquid to be heated in the virtual container to be heated reaches a preset temperature, thereby realizing the heating function of the virtual glove in the metaverse, corresponding to the function of the virtual reality glove 100 in real life, allowing the virtual reality glove 100 to move between the real world and the metaverse, thereby providing a user who, by wearing the same device, can use virtual reality equipment to perform preset tasks in real life and corresponding virtual tasks in the metaverse, thereby further improving the interactivity between the metaverse and the real world, allowing the user to have a stronger sense of reality in the metaverse and a feeling of being unable to distinguish between the real and the fake in the real world.

[0058] The mode switch is provided on the glove body 110. In other embodiments, the mode switch can also be provided on the virtual reality device. In one embodiment, when the mode switch is switched to virtual application mode, a selection window pops up in the virtual space of the virtual reality device, allowing the user to select whether the control module 130 communicates with the virtual reality device. Specifically, the mode switch may only control the virtual reality glove 100 switching to the virtual application state, and may not control whether the virtual reality glove 100 is connected to the metaverse. For example, when the mode switch is turned on, a selection window pops up in the metaverse, allowing the user to select whether the virtual reality glove 100 is connected to the metaverse. In another embodiment, the mode switch may also control both the switching of the virtual reality glove 100 to the virtual application state and the connection of the virtual reality glove 100 to the metaverse. In other words, when the mode switch is turned on, the virtual reality glove 100 is immediately connected to the metaverse.

[0059] In the real world, to determine whether the liquid to be heated has reached a preset temperature, a thermometer or a human hand can be used to sense it. In the metaverse, to determine whether the virtual liquid to be heated has reached a preset temperature, in one embodiment, the virtual reality glove 100 is further provided with a temperature feedback device. The temperature feedback device is connected to the control module 130 and the virtual reality product respectively. In the virtual application mode, the control module 130 communicates with the temperature feedback device to control the operation of the temperature feedback device. Specifically, the temperature feedback device can be provided on the virtual reality glove 100 (e.g., a fingertip). In the virtual application mode, the control module 130 communicates with the temperature feedback device, thereby converting information about the temperature of the virtual liquid to be heated into an electrical signal and transmitting it to the temperature feedback device. When the user touches the virtual container to be heated through the temperature feedback device, the temperature feedback device generates a corresponding temperature and transmits it to the human hand, further giving the user a stronger sense of reality in the metaverse and achieving a feeling of being unable to distinguish between reality and fiction in the real world. In other embodiments, when the virtual glove holds the virtual container to be heated, a corresponding temperature change pop-up window can be displayed, allowing the user to intuitively detect the temperature change of the virtual liquid to be heated. A virtual temperature detection device may also be provided to allow the user to intuitively detect the temperature change of the virtual liquid to be heated.

[0060] The communication module 140 can be configured as a wired communication module 140 or a wireless communication module 140. When the communication module 140 is configured as a wireless communication module 140, the wireless communication module 140 includes a Bluetooth module, a WIFI module, a radio frequency module, and a data transmission module.

[0061] Referring to Figures 3, 6, and 8, in one embodiment, the container to be heated is configured as a cup 200 to be heated. The cup 200 includes a heat-conducting section 210 and two insulating sections 220 disposed at either end of the heat-conducting section 210. The heating module 120 heats the heat-conducting section 210 to heat the liquid to be heated within the cup 200. Specifically, the liquid to be heated is contained within the cup 200. The glove body 110 grips the cup 200 and heats the liquid within the cup 200 by heating the heat-conducting sections 210. Because the heat-conducting sections 210 are capable of conducting heat, the glove body 110 primarily grips the heat-conducting sections 210, allowing the heating module 120 to heat the liquid by heating the heat-conducting sections 210. To reduce the possibility of the heated cup 200 scalding a table or the user's mouth, insulating sections 220 are provided at both ends of the heat-conducting section 210, providing insulation at both the bottom and rim of the cup 200. Correspondingly, the virtual container to be heated in the metaverse can also be a virtual cup to be heated 200 , which includes a heat-conducting section 210 and two heat-insulating sections 220 provided at both ends of the heat-conducting section 210 .

[0062] The technical solution of the present invention is provided by providing a glove body 110, which is provided with a heating module 120, a control module 130, a communication module 140 and a mode switching switch. The heating module 120 is used to heat the container to be heated held by the glove body 110; the control module 130, the communication module 140 and the mode switching switch are all electrically connected to the heating module 120; in real application mode, the user can wear the virtual reality glove 100 and hold the container to be heated, and then the control module 130 controls the heating module 120 to operate, so that the heating module 120 heats the container to be heated, thereby heating the liquid to be heated to a preset temperature, thereby realizing the function of the virtual reality glove 100 to heat the container to be heated in real life. The mode switch switches the virtual reality glove 100 between a real application mode and a virtual application mode. When the user wears the virtual reality device, the mode switch is turned on to enter the metaverse world. The control module 130 then communicates with the virtual reality device through the communication module 140, thereby connecting the virtual reality glove 100 to the metaverse and sending a trigger instruction to capture the movement of the glove body 110 to the virtual reality device, so that the virtual reality device can capture the movement of the glove body 110 and map it to the metaverse world, thereby realizing the heating function of the virtual glove in the metaverse, which corresponds to the function of the virtual reality glove 100 in real life, allowing the virtual reality glove 100 to move between the real world and the metaverse, thereby providing a user with the ability to use the virtual reality device to wear the same device and perform both preset tasks in real life and corresponding virtual tasks in the metaverse, thereby further improving the interactivity between the metaverse and the real world, giving the user a stronger sense of reality in the metaverse and making it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake in the real world.

[0063] Referring again to Figures 1 to 8, in one embodiment, the glove body 110 includes a main body 111 and a plurality of finger portions 112 provided on the main body 111, the control module 130 and the communication module 140 are provided on the main body 111, and the heating module 120 includes a plurality of heating elements 121 provided on the main body 111 and / or the finger portions 112, wherein when the heating module 120 is provided on the finger portions 112, the plurality of heating elements 121 are correspondingly provided on the side of the plurality of finger portions 112 facing the container to be heated. Specifically, the main body 111 is the palm portion of the glove, and the control module 130 and the communication module 140 are located in the main body 111. The corresponding heating module 120 can be located only in the finger portion 112, or only in the main body 111, or the heating module can be located in both the main body 111 and the finger portion 112. When the corresponding heating module 120 is located only in the finger portion 112, the heating element 121 is located on the side of the finger portion 112 facing the container to be heated, thereby facilitating the heating element 121 to directly heat the container to be heated. This also improves the rationality of the arrangement of the control module 130, the communication module 140, and the heating module 120 in the glove body 110.

[0064] Furthermore, the heating element 121 extends along the direction of the finger portion 112, and a heat insulator 113 is provided on the side of the heating element 121 facing away from the container to be heated. Specifically, the heating element 121 extends along the direction of the finger portion 112, so that when the glove body 110 is holding the cup 200 to be heated, the heating element 121 is arranged around the container to be heated, thereby improving the uniformity of heating by the heating module 120 and enhancing heating efficiency. The heating element 121 is generally configured as a heating wire, and to reduce the possibility of the heating wire scalding the user's hand, a heat insulator 113 is provided on the side of the heating element 121 facing away from the container to be heated.

[0065] The glove body 110 includes a mounting cavity 114 for mounting the control module 130. The mounting cavity 114 has an outward-facing opening, which is covered by a mounting cover 115. A control switch 116 is secured to the mounting cover 115 and is electrically connected to the control module 130. Specifically, the control module 130 includes a control circuit board and a control chip disposed on the control circuit board. The communication module 140 may also be disposed on the control circuit board and electrically connected to the control chip via the control circuit board. The mounting cavity 114 is located on the outside of the glove body 110 and has an outward-facing opening. The mounting cover 115 covers the opening to reduce the influence of the control module 130 and the Bluetooth module on the posture changes of the glove body 110. In order to facilitate the operation of the control module 130, a control switch 116 is provided on the installation cover 115. The control switch 116 is electrically connected to the control module 130, so that the user can directly control the operation of the control module 130 through the control switch 116 without opening the installation cover 115, thereby facilitating user operation.

[0066] Furthermore, the glove body 110 is also equipped with a container detection module, which is electrically connected to the control module 130. The container detection module is used to sense whether the glove body 110 is in contact with or near a container to be heated, and transmits the signal to the control module 130 to activate the heating module 120. Specifically, the container detection module can sense that the glove body 110 is holding a container to be heated, and thus transmit a signal to the control module 130. The control module 130 receives feedback from the container detection module and controls the operation of the heating module 120. When the glove body 110 leaves the heating container, the container detection module also generates a corresponding signal and transmits it to the control module 130, which controls the heating module 120 to stop operating.

[0067] In one embodiment, the container detection module is configured as a pressure sensing module 150. The pressure sensing module 150 is used to sense the squeezing force exerted by the glove body 110 on the container to be heated and transmit this force to the control module 130 to activate the heating module 120. Specifically, when the squeezing force exerted by the glove body 110 on the container to be heated reaches a preset pressure or a preset pressure range, the pressure sensing module 150 is triggered, thereby transmitting a signal to the control module 130. The control module 130 then controls the operation of the heating module 120 based on the feedback from the pressure sensing module 150. This allows the user to control the heating of the container by the heating module 120 based on the grip force. Correspondingly, to determine whether the virtual heated liquid has reached a preset temperature, a corresponding pressure change pop-up window may be displayed when the virtual glove is gripping the virtual heated container, allowing the user to observe the temperature change of the virtual heated liquid. This provides the user with the feeling of being able to control the heating of the virtual heated container based on the grip force, thereby enhancing the user's sense of realism. In other embodiments, when the virtual glove is holding the virtual container to be heated, a corresponding pop-up window indicating temperature changes or heating duration may pop up, allowing the user to observe the temperature changes of the virtual liquid to be heated. In yet another embodiment, a target temperature, target pressure, or target heating duration may be preset before the virtual glove is holding the virtual container to be heated. When the virtual glove holds the virtual container to be heated and reaches the target temperature, target pressure, or target heating duration, a corresponding pop-up window may pop up to warn the user.

[0068] In real life, in one embodiment, multiple pressure sensing modules 150 are provided. The control module 130 obtains multiple pressure values ​​from the multiple pressure sensing modules 150, calculates an average pressure value based on the multiple pressure values, and activates the heating module 120 based on the average pressure value. Specifically, because the multiple pressure sensing modules 150 are often located at different positions on the virtual reality glove 100, the pressure values ​​sensed by the multiple pressure modules 150 are also often set at different positions. When the control module 130 obtains multiple pressure values, it can calculate an average pressure value based on the multiple pressure values. When the average pressure value reaches a preset pressure or a preset pressure range, the heating module 120 is activated. In other embodiments, the control module 130 can also obtain pressure values ​​from different pressure sensing modules 150 and determine whether the different pressure values ​​reach the preset pressure or a preset pressure range, thereby controlling the operation of different heating elements 121.

[0069] Furthermore, the control module 130 is preset with a first pressure range and a second pressure range, and the first pressure range is smaller than the second pressure range;

[0070] When it is determined that the average pressure value is within the first pressure range, the control module 130 does not drive the heating module 120 to operate;

[0071] When it is determined that the average pressure value is within the second pressure range, the control module 130 drives the heating module 120 to operate.

[0072] Specifically, the control module 130 uses the calculated average pressure value to determine the pressure range it is in. When the average pressure value is in the first pressure range, the control module 130 does not drive the heating module 120 to work; when the average pressure value is in the second pressure range, the control module 130 drives the heating module 120 to work, thereby controlling the operation of the heating module 120. It can be understood that the first pressure range is smaller than the second pressure range. For example, the first pressure range is configured to be 0-1Pa, and it is assumed that the user is holding the container to be heated normally. The second pressure range is configured to be greater than 1Pa, and it is assumed that the user is holding the container to be heated tightly to heat the liquid to be heated in the heating container. The second pressure range can also be divided into multiple sub-ranges with different pressure ranges, and the larger the pressure range of the sub-range, the greater the power of the corresponding heating module 120, so that the user can control the heating efficiency of the virtual reality glove 100 according to the size of the grip.

[0073] In another embodiment, the container detection module includes a position sensor and a posture sensor. When the position sensor senses that the glove body 110 is in contact with the container to be heated, and the posture sensor senses that the finger portion 112 of the glove body 110 is bent, it is transmitted to the control module 130 to drive the heating module 120 to work.

[0074] To improve the sensitivity of the container detection module, in one embodiment, the glove body 110 includes a main body 111 and multiple finger portions 112 disposed on the main body 111. Multiple container detection modules are provided, and these modules are correspondingly located on the side of the finger portions 112 facing the container to be heated. Specifically, the container detection modules are located on the side of the finger portions 112 facing the container to be heated, which improves the accuracy of the container detection modules. Each finger portion 112 is equipped with a container detection module, and each is correspondingly located on a heating module 120, further improving the accuracy of the container detection modules. Furthermore, each heating module 120 operates independently, allowing precise control of the heating of the container by the virtual reality glove 100.

[0075] In one embodiment, the container detection module and the control module 130 are electrically connected via a flexible circuit board 160 , which extends from the container detection module to the control module 130 . This can reduce conductive irregularities while not affecting the normal bending of the finger portion 112 .

[0076] In another embodiment, the heating module 120 and the control module 130 are electrically connected via a flexible circuit board 160, which extends from the heating module 120 to the control module 130. This reduces electrical conduction irregularities while maintaining the proper bending of the finger 112. In this embodiment, the heating module 120 is first electrically connected to the container detection module, and then connected to the control module 130 via the same flexible circuit board 160.

[0077] The present invention also provides a virtual reality product comprising a virtual reality device and a virtual reality glove 100. The specific structure of the virtual reality glove 100 is similar to the above-described embodiments. Since this virtual reality product utilizes all the technical solutions of all the above-described embodiments, it at least possesses all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above-described embodiments, and therefore will not be further detailed here. Specifically, the control module 130 of the virtual reality glove 100 communicates with the virtual reality device via a communication module 140.

[0078] Specifically, the virtual reality device includes a three-dimensional construction module and a reality capture module that are communicatively connected. The three-dimensional construction module constructs a virtual space, in which there is a virtual glove corresponding to the glove body 110 and a virtual container to be heated corresponding to the container to be heated.

[0079] In the virtual application mode, the control module 130 communicates with the three-dimensional construction module and the reality capture module through the communication module 140. The reality capture module captures the movements of the glove body 110 and maps them to the virtual glove so that the virtual glove holds the virtual container to be heated and heats the virtual container to be heated.

[0080] The three-dimensional construction module is capable of constructing a virtual space that replicates the real-world scene, thereby constructing a virtual glove corresponding to the glove body 110 and a virtual container to be heated corresponding to the container to be heated, thereby achieving a one-to-one restoration of the virtual reality glove 100 and the container to be heated. The control module 130 is in communication with the three-dimensional construction module, enabling the reality capture module to capture the movements of the glove body 110 and map them to the virtual glove. That is, when a user wearing the virtual reality glove 100 makes an action, such as moving, clenching, or opening the virtual reality glove 100, the virtual glove in the metaverse can also perform the same action. This allows the user to control the movement of the virtual reality glove 100 in real life, causing the virtual glove to move closer to the virtual container to be heated in the metaverse. Then, by controlling the virtual reality glove 100 to perform a gripping action, the virtual glove in the metaverse grasps the virtual container to be heated, causing the virtual glove to heat the virtual container to reach a preset temperature, thereby achieving the heating function of the virtual glove in the metaverse.

[0081] Furthermore, the reality capture module includes a camera module, a sensor module, and a mapping module. The mapping module is communicatively connected to the 3D construction module. The camera module and the sensor module are used to monitor the movements of the glove body 110 and transmit them to the mapping module, which then maps them to the virtual glove. Specifically, the camera module and the sensor module jointly monitor the movements of the glove body 110, which are then mapped to the virtual glove via the mapping module, allowing the virtual glove in the universe to perform the same movements as the glove body 110 in real life.

[0082] In one embodiment, in a virtual application mode, a virtual glove heats a container to be heated to a target temperature. The control module obtains the target temperature and detects that the temperature feedback device on the virtual reality glove 100 is in contact with the virtual container to be heated. The control module 130 then controls the temperature feedback device to provide feedback of the target temperature to the user. Specifically, the control module 130 obtains the target temperature and communicates with the temperature feedback device. When the reality capture module detects an overlap between the virtual temperature feedback device on the virtual glove and the virtual container to be heated, the control module transmits the information to the virtual reality device, which then transmits the information to the control module 130. The control module 130 converts the temperature information of the virtual liquid to be heated into an electrical signal and transmits it to the temperature feedback device. The temperature feedback device then generates a corresponding temperature and transmits it to the user's hand, allowing the user to intuitively feel the temperature of the virtual container to be heated. This further enhances the user's sense of reality in the metaverse and creates a sense of indistinguishability between the real and the fake.

[0083] In another embodiment, in a virtual application mode, the virtual glove heats a container to be heated to a target temperature. The three-dimensional construction module constructs a virtual temperature detection device, which detects the temperature of the virtual container to be heated. The virtual reality device then obtains the target temperature and displays it in the virtual space. Specifically, the user can call up the virtual temperature detection device in the virtual space and have it detect the temperature of the virtual container to be heated. At this point, the control module 130 transmits the obtained target temperature to the virtual reality device, which then displays a pop-up window corresponding to the target temperature value, allowing the user to intuitively observe the temperature of the container to be heated.

All equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention's description and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, within the scope of the present invention are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
