[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic device technology, and in particular to wearable devices and methods for triggering functions of wearable devices. [Background Technology]
[0002] With the increasing popularity of electronic devices, they have become indispensable social and entertainment tools in people's daily lives, and people's demands for electronic devices are also getting higher and higher. Electronic devices such as headphones and smart glasses are also widely used in people's daily lives. They can be used in conjunction with terminal devices such as mobile phones and computers to provide users with an auditory feast.
[0003] Currently, wearable devices such as Bluetooth headsets and smart glasses typically have touch control modes, allowing users to control the device's functions via touch.

[0004] [Summary of the Invention]

The wearable device is equipped with a trigger sensor, which detects triggering actions applied to the wearable device. The method includes: acquiring kinematic parameters of the wearer; determining the wearer's motion state based on the kinematic parameters; selecting a corresponding trigger mode based on the motion state, wherein different motion states correspond to different trigger modes; and executing at least one trigger function based on the selected trigger mode and the detection signal from the trigger sensor. The same trigger function exists in different trigger modes, and the triggering conditions required to execute the same trigger function differ in different trigger modes.

[0007] In some embodiments, the number of trigger sensors is at least two, wherein the number of trigger sensors that meet the corresponding trigger conditions required to perform the same trigger function in the second trigger mode is greater than the number of trigger sensors that meet the corresponding trigger conditions required to perform the same trigger function in the first trigger mode.

[0009] In some embodiments, in the first trigger mode, the same trigger function is executed when the first sensor meets the corresponding trigger condition and when the second sensor meets the corresponding trigger condition.
[0010] In some embodiments, in the first trigger mode, when the detection signal of the first sensor meets the corresponding trigger condition, a first trigger function is executed, and when the detection signal of the second sensor meets the corresponding trigger condition, a second trigger function is executed, wherein the first trigger function is different from the second trigger function.
[0011] In some embodiments, in the second trigger mode, when the detection signals of the first sensor and the second sensor respectively meet their respective trigger conditions, the first trigger function is executed, wherein the trigger condition corresponding to the second sensor in the second trigger mode is different from the trigger condition corresponding to the first trigger mode.
[0012] In some embodiments, the triggering condition corresponding to the first sensor includes a first triggering condition, and the triggering condition corresponding to the second sensor includes a second triggering condition and a third triggering condition; in the first triggering mode, when the detection signal of the first sensor meets the first triggering condition, the first triggering function is executed, and when the detection signal of the second sensor meets the second triggering condition, the second triggering function is executed; in the second triggering mode, when the detection signal of the first sensor meets the first triggering condition and the detection signal of the second sensor meets the third triggering condition, the first triggering function is executed.
[0013] In some embodiments, the first trigger condition and the third trigger condition are used to detect one of a touch action and a tapping action, and the second trigger condition is used to detect the other of a touch action and a tapping action.
[0014] In some embodiments, a first trigger condition is used to detect a first parameter in a touch action or tapping action, and a third trigger condition is used to detect a second parameter in a touch action or tapping action.
[0015] In some embodiments, the first parameter is a capacitance parameter and the second parameter is a vibration waveform parameter.
[0016] In some embodiments, the triggering condition corresponding to the first sensor further includes a fourth triggering condition; in the second triggering mode, when the detection signal of the first sensor satisfies the corresponding fourth triggering condition and the detection signal of the second sensor satisfies the corresponding second triggering condition, the second triggering function is executed.
[0017] In some embodiments, in the second trigger mode, the first trigger function and / or the second trigger function are selectively executed according to the order in which the detection signal of the first sensor satisfies the corresponding trigger condition and the detection signal of the second sensor satisfies the corresponding trigger condition.
[0018] In some embodiments, in the second trigger mode, the trigger function executed when the detection signals of the first sensor and the second sensor both satisfy their respective trigger conditions is one of the first trigger function and the second trigger function.
[0019] In some embodiments, the trigger sensor further includes a third sensor, and the method further includes: in a first trigger mode, in response to the detection signal of the third sensor satisfying the corresponding trigger condition, executing a third trigger function, wherein the third trigger function is different from the first trigger function and the second trigger function; in a second trigger mode, in response to the detection signal of the third sensor satisfying the corresponding trigger condition, executing the other of the first trigger function and the second trigger function.
[0020] In some embodiments, the first sensor is a capacitive sensor, the second sensor is a motion sensor, and the third sensor is a button sensor.

[0023] Another technical solution adopted in this application is to provide a wearable device, which includes a processor and a memory. The memory stores a computer program, and the processor executes the computer program to implement the method as described in the above embodiments.
[0024] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: Unlike existing technologies, this application incorporates a trigger sensor in the wearable device to detect trigger actions applied to it. During use, the wearable device can determine the wearer's motion state based on their kinematic parameters and then select different trigger modes according to these different motion states. Furthermore, the trigger conditions required to execute the same trigger function differ depending on the trigger mode. This allows the same trigger function to adapt to different trigger conditions under varying motion states, enabling the wearable device to adjust trigger modes and trigger conditions based on the motion state. This reduces the likelihood of accidental touches when the wearer's motion state changes, making the touch control of the wearable device more accurate and improving the user experience.

Detailed Implementation Methods
[0028] 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.
[0029] The reference to "embodiment" in this application means that a specific feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described in this application can be combined with other embodiments.
[0030] The following is an exemplary description of wearable devices through embodiments.
[0031] Wearable devices are portable devices that can be worn directly on the wearer's body or integrated into the wearer's clothing or accessories. For example, wearable devices can be Bluetooth headsets worn on the wearer's ears, smart bracelets worn on the wearer's wrists, and smart glasses worn on the wearer's head, etc.
[0032] As shown in Figure 1, in some embodiments, the wearable device 1 may be provided with a trigger sensor 10, which can be used to detect trigger actions applied to the wearable device 1.
[0033] Specifically, when a trigger action is applied to the position corresponding to the trigger sensor 10 in the wearable device 1, the trigger sensor 10 detects the applied action and generates a corresponding detection signal. The wearable device 1 can then respond to the corresponding detection signal to perform certain functions. For example, the trigger sensor 10 can be a touch sensor, a tap sensor, or a pressure sensor. The trigger action can be a touch, tap, or pressure action.
[0034] Referring to Figures 2 and 3, based on the structure of the wearable device 1 described above, the function triggering method is described below as an example, which includes:
[0035] S100: Acquire the kinematic parameters of the wearer of the wearable device.
[0036] The wearer's kinematic parameters can be parameters related to the wearer's movement. For example, kinematic parameters can be acceleration values, angular velocity values, or velocity values.
[0037] In some embodiments, before step S100, the wearable device 1 may perform a wear detection to determine whether the wearable device 1 is being worn. If it is determined that the wearable device 1 is being worn, then step S200 is executed. If it is determined that the wearable device 1 is not being worn, then the wear detection continues.
[0038] S200: Determines the wearer's movement status based on kinematic parameters.
[0039] Because the wearer's kinematic parameters fluctuate differently under different exercise states—for example, the fluctuations in kinematic parameters such as acceleration and angular velocity are significantly more pronounced when the wearer is running than when the wearer is stationary—the wearer's exercise state can be determined based on the fluctuations in kinematic parameters.
[0040] S300: Select the corresponding trigger mode according to the motion state, where different motion states correspond to different trigger modes.
[0041] Specifically, the probability of accidental activation of the wearable device 1 varies depending on the wearer's movement. For example, when the wearer is running, their hair and clothes will move, making it easy to accidentally activate the wearable device. Furthermore, sweat is more likely to splash onto the wearable device during running. Therefore, the probability of accidental activation of the wearable device 1 in this state is much higher than when the wearer is stationary.
[0042] Therefore, the conditions under which the functions in wearable device 1 are triggered can also be different under different triggering modes corresponding to different movement states. This configuration allows the triggering of functions in wearable device 1 to correspond to the wearer's movement state, enabling wearable device 1 to have different triggering modes under different movement states. This allows for adjustments to the probability of accidental touches on wearable device 1 as the wearer's movement state changes.
[0043] In some embodiments, the motion state may include a first motion state and a second motion state, wherein the second motion state represents a higher motion intensity than the first motion state. For example, the first motion state may be a stationary state, i.e., a relatively quiet state for the wearer relative to motion behavior. The second motion state may be a motion state with higher intensity, i.e., a state in which the wearer is performing a motion behavior. For example, the motion state in which the wearer is walking is the second motion state, while the motion state in which the wearer is sitting is the first motion state.
[0044] In some embodiments, the triggering mode may include a first triggering mode and a second triggering mode. The first motion state may correspond to the first triggering mode, and the second motion state may correspond to the second triggering mode.
[0045] Then, step S300, which involves selecting the corresponding trigger mode based on the motion state, may include steps S310 to S320:
[0046] S310: In response to the motion state being the first motion state, switch the trigger mode to the first trigger mode.
[0047] S320: In response to the motion state being the second motion state, the trigger mode is switched to the second trigger mode, wherein the trigger conditions required to perform the same trigger function in the second trigger mode are more difficult to meet than the trigger conditions required to perform the same trigger function in the first trigger mode.
[0048] Because the intensity of motion in the second motion state is higher than that in the first motion state, the wearable device 1 is at higher risk of accidental activation in the second motion state. Therefore, setting the triggering conditions for executing the same triggering function in the second triggering mode is more difficult, making the same triggering function in the second triggering mode less likely to be triggered compared to the same triggering function in the first triggering mode. Conversely, setting the triggering conditions for executing the same triggering function in the first triggering mode is simpler than the triggering conditions in the first triggering mode, making the same triggering function easier to trigger in the first motion state with lower motion intensity.
[0049] This design not only reduces the risk of accidental activation of the wearable device 1 when the wearer's exercise intensity is high, but also makes the wearable device 1 easier to trigger to achieve the corresponding triggering function when the wearer's exercise intensity is low, thereby improving the user experience.
[0050] In some implementations, the motion state may include a third motion state, wherein the motion intensity represented by the third motion state may be higher than that represented by the second motion state.
[0051] For example, the second movement state is when the wearer is walking, and the third movement state is when the wearer is running, where the intensity of running is higher than that of walking.
[0052] The step S300, which involves selecting the corresponding trigger mode based on the motion state, may include step S330:
[0053] S330: In response to the motion state being the third motion state, the trigger mode is switched to the third trigger mode, in which the trigger function of the trigger sensor 10 is disabled.
[0054] Because the intensity of movement in the third motion state is too high, the wearable device 1 is easily touched by the wearer's hair, clothing, sweat, and other substances, leading to accidental activation. Therefore, in the third trigger mode corresponding to the third motion state, disabling the trigger function of the trigger sensor 10 can reduce accidental activation of the wearable device 1 during high-intensity movement, thereby improving the user experience.
[0055] S400: Execute at least one trigger function based on the selected trigger mode and the detection signal of the trigger sensor 10, wherein the same trigger function is performed in different trigger modes, and the trigger conditions required to perform the same trigger function are different in different trigger modes.
[0056] Specifically, the same trigger function refers to a trigger function that the wearable device 1 can execute in response to the detection signal of the trigger sensor 10 in different trigger modes. For example, the wearable device 1 can be a Bluetooth smart headset, and the same trigger function can be a function such as switching songs or adjusting the volume. The wearer can use the touch control of the wearable device 1 in different trigger modes to achieve trigger functions such as switching songs or adjusting the volume.
[0057] Different triggering functions can correspond to different triggering conditions, and the same triggering function can also correspond to different triggering conditions under different triggering modes.
[0058] This configuration allows the same trigger function to adapt to different trigger conditions under different movement states. As a result, the wearable device 1 can adjust different trigger modes according to the movement state to adjust the trigger conditions of the same trigger function. This reduces the chance of the wearable device 1 being accidentally touched after the wearer's movement state changes, and also makes the touch control of the trigger function of the wearable device 1 more accurate, thereby improving the user experience.
[0059] In some embodiments, the triggering conditions required to execute the same triggering function in the second triggering mode may include the triggering conditions required to execute the same triggering function in the first triggering mode. That is, in the second triggering mode, to execute the same triggering function while meeting the triggering conditions, the corresponding triggering conditions in the first triggering mode must first be met, and then another triggering condition corresponding to the second triggering mode must be met. If the triggering conditions corresponding to executing the same triggering function in the first triggering mode are not met, the corresponding triggering conditions required to execute the same triggering function in the second triggering mode also cannot be met, and the same triggering function cannot be executed.
[0060] For example, in the first trigger mode, the trigger condition required to execute the same trigger function is that the trigger sensor 10 detects a touch action. In the second trigger mode, the trigger condition required to execute the same trigger function is that the trigger sensor 10 is touched and tapped. Therefore, in the second trigger mode, touching the trigger sensor 10 does not satisfy the trigger condition required for the same trigger function, and thus the same trigger function cannot be executed.
[0061] In some embodiments, the number of trigger sensors 10 can be at least two. In the second trigger mode, the number of trigger sensors 10 that meet the corresponding trigger conditions required to perform the same trigger function can be greater than the number of trigger sensors 10 that meet the corresponding trigger conditions required to perform the same trigger function in the first trigger mode.
[0062] Specifically, the number of trigger sensors 10 is associated with the triggering conditions corresponding to the same triggering function. In different triggering modes, the triggering condition for executing the same triggering function is that the corresponding number of trigger sensors 10 are all triggered to generate the corresponding detection signal.
[0063] As an example, the number of trigger sensors 10 can be two. In the second trigger mode, two trigger sensors 10 are required to perform the same trigger function while meeting the corresponding trigger conditions. That is, the same trigger function can only be executed when both trigger sensors 10 are triggered and generate detection signals. In the first trigger mode, the number of trigger sensors 10 required to perform the same trigger function while meeting the corresponding trigger conditions can be one; that is, the same trigger function can be executed when one of the trigger sensors 10 is triggered and generates a detection signal.
[0064] By utilizing the number of trigger sensors 10 to distinguish the trigger conditions corresponding to the same trigger function in the first trigger mode and the second trigger mode, the number of trigger sensors 10 corresponding to the same trigger function is reduced in the first trigger mode and increased in the second trigger mode. This allows the present application to achieve simpler trigger conditions for the same trigger function in the first trigger mode and more difficult trigger conditions in the second trigger mode with simple settings, thereby reducing the difficulty of trigger mode switching and simplifying the trigger mode switching procedure.
[0065] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG1, the trigger sensor 10 may include a first sensor 11 and a second sensor 12. The physical parameters detected by the first sensor 11 are not the same as those detected by the second sensor 12.
[0066] Step S400, which involves executing at least one trigger function based on the selected trigger mode and the detection signal from the trigger sensor 10, may include the following steps S410 to S420:
[0067] S410: In the first trigger mode, executing the same trigger function requires the detection signal of either the first sensor or the second sensor to meet the corresponding trigger condition.
[0068] Specifically, in the first trigger mode, after one of the first sensor 11 and the second sensor 12 detects the trigger action applied to the wearable device 1 and generates a detection signal corresponding to the trigger action, the trigger condition for executing the same trigger function is met, thereby enabling the same trigger function to be executed. This simplifies the trigger condition for the same trigger function in the first trigger mode, allowing the wearer to more conveniently control the wearable device 1 during a relatively weak first movement state.
[0069] In some embodiments, in the first trigger mode, the same trigger function can be executed when both the first sensor 11 and the second sensor 12 meet their corresponding trigger conditions. In other words, in the first trigger mode, the first sensor 11 and the second sensor 12 can correspond to the same trigger function, and the same trigger function can be executed when either the first sensor 11 or the second sensor 12 meets its corresponding trigger condition.
[0070] For example, in the first trigger mode, the first sensor 11 can generate a corresponding detection signal in response to a touch trigger action on the wearable device 1, and the wearable device 1 executes the song switching function based on the detection signal generated by the touch action. The second sensor 12 can generate a corresponding detection signal in response to a tap trigger action on the wearable device 1, and the wearable device 1 executes the song pause / play function based on the detection signal generated by the tap action. Therefore, when the first sensor 11 detects a touch on the wearable device 1 or the second sensor 12 detects a tap on the wearable device 1, the wearable device 1 will execute the song switching function.
[0071] This setting makes it easier for the same trigger function of the wearable device 1 in the first trigger mode to be triggered, thereby increasing the touch sensitivity of the wearable device 1.
[0072] In other embodiments, in the first trigger mode, a first trigger function can be executed when the detection signal of the first sensor 11 meets the corresponding trigger condition. A second trigger function can be executed when the detection signal of the second sensor 12 meets the corresponding trigger condition. The first trigger function differs from the second trigger function.
[0073] Specifically, the first sensor 11 corresponds to the first trigger function, and the second sensor 12 corresponds to the second trigger function. As an example, in the first trigger mode, the first sensor 11 can generate a corresponding detection signal in response to the trigger action of touching the wearable device 1, thereby causing the wearable device 1 to perform the song switching function. The second sensor 12 can generate a corresponding detection signal in response to the trigger action of tapping the wearable device 1, thereby causing the wearable device 1 to perform the song pause playback function.
[0074] This configuration allows the wearable device 1 to have more triggering functions in the first mode, enabling the wearer to control the wearable device 1 to achieve more triggering functions through various triggering actions in the first exercise state with relatively low exercise intensity, thereby improving the wearer's user experience.
[0075] S410: In the second trigger mode, executing the same trigger function requires that the detection signals of the first sensor and the second sensor both meet their respective trigger conditions.
[0076] Specifically, in the second trigger mode, the trigger condition for performing the same trigger function is that both the first sensor 11 and the second sensor 12 must generate the detection signal corresponding to the trigger function.
[0077] In the first trigger mode, executing the same trigger function requires that the detection signal of either the first sensor 11 or the second sensor 12 meets the corresponding trigger condition. However, in the second trigger mode, executing the same trigger function as in the first trigger mode requires that both the first sensor 11 and the second sensor 12 generate the detection signal corresponding to the trigger function.
[0078] For example, in some embodiments, in the first trigger mode, the wearable device 1 can execute the song switching trigger function after the first sensor 11 detects a touch action. However, in the second trigger mode, the song switching trigger function can only be executed after the first sensor 11 detects a touch action and the second sensor 12 detects a tapping action.
[0079] Since the second trigger mode corresponds to a second motion state with higher intensity, setting the second trigger mode in this way makes the same trigger function less likely to be triggered when the wearer is in a second motion state with higher intensity compared to the first mode. This reduces the chance of accidental touches on the wearer when the wearer is in a second motion state with higher intensity, and also improves the accuracy of trigger function activation.
[0080] In some embodiments, in the second trigger mode, when the detection signals of the first sensor 11 and the second sensor 12 respectively meet their respective trigger conditions, the first trigger function can be executed, wherein the trigger condition corresponding to the second sensor 12 in the second trigger mode is different from the trigger condition corresponding to the first trigger mode.
[0081] Therefore, the first triggering function is the same triggering function in both the first triggering mode and the second triggering mode. In the first triggering mode, executing the first triggering function requires the detection signal of the first sensor 11 to meet the corresponding triggering condition, while in the second triggering mode, executing the first triggering function requires the detection signals of the first sensor 11 and the second sensor 12 to meet their respective triggering conditions.
[0082] This configuration makes the conditions required for the wearable device 1 to execute the first trigger function in the second trigger mode more complex, making the first trigger function less likely to be triggered when the wearer is in a high-intensity second motion state. This reduces the risk of the wearable device 1 accidentally triggering the first trigger function in the second trigger mode, making the touch control of the trigger function of the wearable device 1 more accurate.
[0083] In some embodiments, the triggering condition corresponding to the first sensor 11 may include a first triggering condition, and the triggering condition corresponding to the second sensor 12 may include a second triggering condition and a third triggering condition.
[0084] In the first triggering mode, the triggering condition corresponding to the second sensor 12 can be the second triggering condition. In the second triggering mode, the triggering condition corresponding to the second sensor 12 can be the third triggering condition. The second triggering condition and the third triggering condition are not the same.
[0085] In the first trigger mode, when the detection signal of the first sensor 11 meets the first trigger condition, the first trigger function is executed, and when the detection signal of the second sensor 12 meets the second trigger condition, the second trigger function is executed.
[0086] In the second trigger mode, the first trigger function is executed when the detection signal of the first sensor 11 meets the first trigger condition and the detection signal of the second sensor 12 meets the third trigger condition. However, in the second trigger mode, if the detection signal of the first sensor 11 meets the first trigger condition and the detection signal of the second sensor 12 meets the second trigger condition, neither the first nor the second trigger function is executed. Alternatively, if only the detection signal of the first sensor 11 meets the first trigger condition, or only the detection signal of the second sensor 12 meets the second trigger condition, neither the first nor the second trigger function is executed.
[0087] Therefore, in the second trigger mode, by changing the trigger condition of the second sensor 12, the second sensor 12 can become one of the corresponding trigger conditions of the first trigger function, thereby reusing the second sensor 12. This not only reduces the possibility of the first trigger function being accidentally touched in the second trigger mode, but also simplifies the structure of the wearable device 1.
[0088] In some embodiments, the first trigger condition and the third trigger condition can be used to detect one of a touch action and a tapping action, and the second trigger condition can be used to detect the other of a touch action and a tapping action.
[0089] For example, the first and third trigger conditions can be used to detect touch actions, and the second trigger condition can be used to detect tapping actions. Specifically, in the first trigger mode, when the first sensor 11 detects a touch action, the detection signal of the first sensor 11 satisfies the first trigger condition, and the first trigger function is executed. When the second sensor 12 detects a tapping action, the detection signal of the second sensor 12 satisfies the second trigger condition, and the second trigger function is executed. In the second trigger mode, when the wearer applies a touch action, when the first sensor 11 detects the touch action, the detection signal of the first sensor 11 satisfies the first trigger condition, and the second sensor 12 can also detect the touch action, thus satisfying the third trigger condition. At this time, the first trigger function is executed.
[0090] By detecting the same action using a first trigger condition of the first sensor 11 and a third trigger condition of the second sensor 12 in the second trigger mode, the complexity of the trigger conditions for the first trigger function can be increased while simplifying the trigger action for the first trigger function, so as to execute the first trigger function by detecting the wearer's trigger action. Moreover, in the second trigger mode, using both the first sensor 11 and the second sensor 12 to detect the same action can more accurately confirm the wearer's trigger action, thereby improving the accuracy of executing the trigger function in the wearable device 1.
[0091] In some embodiments, the first trigger condition may be used to detect a first parameter in a touch action or tapping action, and the third trigger condition may be used to detect a second parameter in a touch action or tapping action.
[0092] The first trigger condition and the third trigger condition are both used to detect one of the touch action and the tapping action. The first trigger condition corresponding to the first sensor 11 and the third trigger condition corresponding to the second sensor 12 can be different parameters for detecting the same trigger action.
[0093] As an example, the first parameter can be a capacitance parameter, and the second parameter can be a vibration waveform parameter. For instance, the first trigger condition can be a capacitance parameter for detecting touch actions, and the third trigger condition can be a vibration waveform parameter for detecting touch actions.
[0094] This setup utilizes two sensors to detect the same trigger action in the second trigger mode, improving the accuracy of the wearable device 1 in detecting the trigger action. This allows the device to more accurately identify the wearer's trigger action when the wearer is in a second motion state with high intensity of movement, thereby reducing the chance of the wearable device 1 being accidentally touched by hair or clothing.
[0095] Of course, in other embodiments, the first, second, and third trigger conditions can also be trigger actions other than touch and tap actions, such as sliding or pressing actions. The first and second parameters can also be other parameter values such as acceleration parameters and pressure parameters.
[0096] In some embodiments, the triggering condition corresponding to the first sensor 11 further includes a fourth triggering condition. In the second triggering mode, when the detection signal of the first sensor 11 satisfies the corresponding fourth triggering condition and the detection signal of the second sensor 12 satisfies the corresponding second triggering condition, the second triggering function is executed.
[0097] The fourth trigger condition detects a different trigger action than the first trigger condition. For example, the first trigger condition can be used to detect touch actions, while the fourth trigger condition can be used to detect tapping actions.
[0098] In the first trigger mode, the trigger condition corresponding to the first sensor 11 is only the first trigger condition. In the second trigger mode, the trigger condition corresponding to the first sensor 11 is both the first trigger condition and the fourth trigger condition.
[0099] For example, in the first trigger mode, the first trigger condition of the first sensor 11 can be used to detect a touch action to execute a first trigger function, and the second trigger condition of the second sensor 12 can be used to detect a tapping action to execute a second trigger function. In the second trigger mode, the first trigger condition of the first sensor 11 and the third trigger condition of the second sensor 12 can be used to detect different parameters of the touch action. When the detection signal of the first sensor 11 satisfies the first trigger condition and the detection signal of the second sensor 12 satisfies the third trigger condition, the first trigger function is executed. The fourth trigger condition of the first sensor 11 and the second trigger condition of the second sensor 12 can be used to detect different parameters of the tapping action. When the detection signal of the second sensor 12 satisfies the fourth trigger condition and the detection signal of the second sensor 12 satisfies the second trigger condition, the second trigger function is executed.
[0100] By enriching the triggering conditions of the first sensor 11 and the second sensor 12, the detection range of the second triggering mode can be expanded, enabling the detection of multiple triggering actions and the execution of multiple triggering functions in the second triggering mode. Moreover, compared to the first triggering mode, the triggering action detection in the second triggering mode is more complex, thus improving the accuracy of the wearable device 1 in detecting triggering actions and reducing the possibility of the wearable device 1 being accidentally triggered by objects such as hair or clothing.
[0101] In other embodiments, in the second trigger mode, the first trigger function and / or the second trigger function are selectively executed according to the order in which the detection signal of the first sensor 11 meets the corresponding trigger condition and the detection signal of the second sensor 12 meets the corresponding trigger condition.
[0102] In the first trigger mode, the detection signal of the first sensor 11 and the detection signal of the second sensor 12 meet different trigger conditions to detect different trigger actions. For example, the detection signal of the first sensor 11 meets the corresponding trigger condition to detect a touch action, while the detection signal of the second sensor 12 meets the corresponding trigger condition to detect a tapping action.
[0103] Specifically, in the second trigger mode, when the detection signals of the first sensor 11 and the second sensor 12 both satisfy the corresponding trigger action, one or both of the first trigger function and the second trigger function are selectively executed in sequence.
[0104] For example, in the second trigger mode, when the wearer first applies a touch action and then applies a tap action, the first trigger condition of the first sensor 11 and the third trigger condition of the second sensor 12 are satisfied first, and then the second trigger condition of the second sensor 12 and the fourth trigger condition of the first sensor 11 are satisfied. At this time, only the first trigger function can be executed, or the first trigger function can be executed and then the second trigger function can be executed.
[0105] Alternatively, in the second trigger mode, when the wearer first applies a tapping action and then a touch action, the second trigger condition of the second sensor 12 and the fourth trigger condition of the first sensor 11 are satisfied first, and the first trigger condition of the first sensor 11 and the third trigger condition of the second sensor 12 are satisfied then. At this time, only the second trigger function can be executed, or the first trigger function can be executed after the second trigger function is executed.
[0106] Alternatively, in the second trigger mode, the trigger actions corresponding to the first sensor 11 and the second sensor 12 can also be different. For example, the trigger condition corresponding to the first sensor 11 is used to detect either a touch action or a tapping action, while the trigger condition corresponding to the second sensor 12 is used to detect the other. For instance, the trigger condition for the first sensor 11 is detecting a touch action, and the trigger condition for the second sensor 12 is detecting a tapping action. In the second trigger mode, both the trigger conditions corresponding to the first sensor 11 and the second sensor 12 must be met for the corresponding trigger function to be selectively executed according to the order of the trigger actions.
[0107] For example, in the second trigger mode, when the wearer applies a touch action followed by a tapping action, the first sensor 11 detects the touch action, thus fulfilling the corresponding trigger condition, and the second sensor 12 detects the tapping action, thus fulfilling the corresponding trigger condition. Then, only the first trigger function corresponding to the touch action is executed, or the first trigger function corresponding to the touch action is executed first, followed by the first trigger function corresponding to the tapping action. Conversely, if the wearer applies a tapping action followed by a touch action in the second trigger mode, only the second trigger function corresponding to the tapping action is executed, or the second trigger function corresponding to the tapping action is executed first, followed by the first trigger function corresponding to the touch action.
[0108] By setting the second trigger mode to selectively execute one or both of the first and second trigger functions according to the order in which trigger conditions are met, the wearer can control the order in which trigger actions are applied to trigger the corresponding functions, thus making the wearable device 1 more intelligent. This setup not only utilizes two sensors to detect more complex trigger conditions, reducing accidental touches, but also makes the execution of trigger functions more accurate.
[0109] In other embodiments, in the second trigger mode, when the detection signals of the first sensor 11 and the second sensor 12 both meet their respective trigger conditions, the trigger function executed is one of the first trigger function and the second trigger function.
[0110] In other words, in the second trigger mode, one of the first trigger function and the second trigger function can only be executed when the trigger conditions corresponding to the first sensor 11 and the second sensor 12 are both met; the other of the first trigger function and the second trigger function will not be executed.
[0111] As an example, the trigger condition corresponding to the first sensor 11 is used to detect one of a touch action and a tapping action, and the trigger condition corresponding to the second sensor 12 is used to detect the other of a touch action and a tapping action. In the second trigger mode, both touch and tapping actions need to be applied to the wearable device 1 in order to execute one of the first and second trigger functions.
[0112] This setting increases the difficulty of triggering the function in the second trigger mode, thereby reducing the chance of the wearable device 1 being accidentally touched and incorrectly executing the trigger function, and also improving the accuracy of function switching.
[0113] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG1, the trigger sensor 10 may further include a third sensor 13, then the function triggering method further includes the following steps S510 to S520:
[0114] S510: In the first trigger mode, in response to the detection signal of the third sensor satisfying the corresponding trigger condition, the third trigger function is executed, wherein the third trigger function is different from the first trigger function and the second trigger function.
[0115] For example, the first trigger function could be switching songs, the second trigger function could be pausing song playback, and the third trigger function could be decreasing or increasing the volume. Of course, in other embodiments, the first, second, and third trigger functions could be other trigger functions such as pausing the connection with the mobile device or switching modes.
[0116] S520: In the second trigger mode, in response to the detection signal of the third sensor satisfying the corresponding trigger condition, the other of the first trigger function and the second trigger function is executed.
[0117] In the second trigger mode, when the detection signals of the first sensor 11 and the second sensor 12 both meet their respective trigger conditions, but the detection signal of the third sensor 13 does not meet its corresponding trigger condition, the triggered function is either the first trigger function or the second trigger function. When the detection signals of the first sensor 11, the second sensor 12, and the third sensor 13 all meet their corresponding trigger conditions, the triggered function is the other of the first and second trigger functions. In the second trigger mode, the third trigger function can be disabled, or additional trigger conditions must be added before it can be executed.
[0118] The addition of the third sensor 13 not only enriches the triggering functions of the wearable device 1 in the first triggering mode, but also enables the wearable device 1 to perform two triggering functions in the second triggering mode, thereby enriching the triggering functions of the wearable device 1. Moreover, in the second triggering mode, the third sensor 13 increases the triggering difficulty of the first or second triggering function, which can distinguish the triggering conditions of the first and second triggering functions, thereby making the execution of the triggering functions in the wearable device 1 more accurate and reducing accidental touches.
[0119] In some embodiments, the first sensor 11 can be a capacitive sensor, the second sensor 12 can be a motion sensor, and the third sensor 13 can be a button sensor.
[0120] Among them, a capacitive sensor is a conversion device that uses various types of capacitors as sensing elements and can convert the measured physical or mechanical quantity into a change in capacitance. A capacitive sensor can convert the triggering action applied by the wearer to the wearable device into a change in capacitance.
[0121] Motion sensors can be used to measure physical quantities related to motion, such as position, displacement, velocity, acceleration, vibration displacement, amplitude, and wave propagation. Motion sensors can also be inertial sensors, which can be used to detect the three basic linear motions (acceleration) and the three basic angular motions (angular velocity).
[0122] The working principle of a button sensor is based on mechanical contact and circuit conduction. When the button of the button sensor is pressed, the spring or elastic body is compressed, causing the button to move downward until the contact is closed, thus forming a circuit path. Therefore, the button sensor can detect that the button has been pressed.
[0123] Specifically, for the first sensor 11, the wearable device 1 can determine whether the detection signal of the first sensor 11 meets the corresponding trigger condition based on the change in capacitance value. For the second sensor 12, the wearable device 1 can determine whether the detection signal of the second sensor 12 meets the corresponding trigger condition based on the change in motion-related values caused by the trigger action applied to the second sensor 12. For the third sensor 13, the wearable device 1 can determine whether the detection signal of the third sensor 13 meets the corresponding trigger condition based on the current value corresponding to the button path in the third sensor 13.
[0124] By setting different types of sensors in the wearable device 1, the detection range and types of the wearable device 1 can be increased, so that the wearable device 1 can make the judgment of the triggered action more sensitive and accurate.
[0125] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG1, the wearable device 1 may include a processor 20 and a memory 30, wherein the memory 30 stores a computer program, and the processor 20 is used to execute the computer program to implement the method described in the embodiments above.
[0126] The processor 20 can also be referred to as a CPU (Central Processing Unit). The processor 20 may be an integrated circuit chip with signal processing capabilities. The processor 20 can also be a general-purpose processor, a digital signal processor (DSP), an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), or other programmable logic devices, discrete gate or transistor logic devices, or discrete hardware components. A general-purpose processor can be a microprocessor, or the processor 20 can be any conventional processor 20, etc.
[0127] The memory 30 may include random access memory (RAM), read-only memory (ROM), flash memory, erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM), electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), registers, hard disk, removable disk, CD-ROM, etc. The memory may store program data, which may include, for example, a single instruction or many instructions, and may be distributed across several different code segments, across different programs, and across multiple memories 30. The memory 30 may be coupled to the processor 20 so that the processor 20 can read and write information to / from the memory 30. Of course, the memory 30 may be integrated into the processor 20; this application does not limit this, and those skilled in the art can choose according to actual needs.
[0128] In summary, this application incorporates a trigger sensor 10 in the wearable device 1 to detect trigger actions applied to it. During use, the wearable device 1 can determine the wearer's motion state based on their kinematic parameters and then select different trigger modes according to these different motion states. In each trigger mode, the trigger conditions required to execute the same trigger function differ. This allows the same trigger function to adapt to different trigger conditions under varying motion states, enabling the wearable device 1 to adjust trigger modes and conditions based on the motion state. This reduces the likelihood of accidental touches when the wearer's motion state changes, making the touch control of the wearable device 1 more accurate and improving the user experience.
