The invention provides a VR handle control method.

Currently, games are a major application area of virtual reality technology. The virtual reality market has three major product forms: virtual reality products, virtual reality all-in-one products and portable virtual reality products based on external host computer. The virtual reality product based on the external host can provide the best experience for consumers due to the powerful data processing capability and image rendering capability of the external host (such as a PC, a game host and the like).

With the gradual maturity of VR virtual reality technique in recent years, all kinds of VR products also have come to one of them, VR handle. Thereby the VR handle is used for controlling game handle control game's progress, and VR glasses + VR game handle can experience that kind of pleasant in the recreation in person, and is more real, the experience of more shocking. Usually, there are two VR game pads, which are a left hand pad and a right hand pad. Moreover, the functions are fixed, the left handle must be held by the left hand, the right handle cannot be held by the right hand, the operation of a user can be influenced by the wrong holding of the left handle and the right handle, and great inconvenience is brought to the use of the user.

In order to solve the above problem, referring to fig. 1, in an embodiment of the present invention, the present invention provides a novel VR handle, which has two sets of left and right hand operating systems, and the left and right hand operating systems are switchable and selectable, the VR handle includes a holding portion and a control portion connected to the holding portion, and the control portion has a left hand operating mode and a right hand operating mode.

The VR handle control method comprises the following steps:

step S100, acquiring a holding characteristic data signal generated on the holding part;

it will be appreciated that when a user holds the VR handle, the contact area between the left or right hand and the VR handle, the force-receiving location, the palm, the shape of the finger in a particular area, etc. are all different, and the vital signs, such as fingerprints, etc., of the left and right fingers are all different. According to the difference between the left hand and the right hand, the holding characteristic data signals formed by the user holding the handle are different, and whether the current VR handle is held by the left hand or the right hand can be identified.

In this embodiment, the holding characteristic data signal may be implemented by using a sensor, the sensor may be disposed on the holding portion of the handle, and the sensor collects data of the user holding the holding portion and generates a corresponding holding characteristic data signal.

S200, determining the holding mode of the VR handle according to the holding characteristic data signal, wherein the holding mode of the VR handle comprises left-hand holding and right-hand holding;

in this embodiment, the representation form of the data signal of the grip characteristic is different according to the difference of the sensors, for example, when the pressure sensor is used for implementation, the corresponding parameters of the grip characteristic may include a force-receiving position and a force-receiving area. The user may hold the left hand handle with the left hand and the right hand handle with the right hand, or the left hand may hold the right hand handle and the right hand may hold the left hand handle with the left hand and the right hand with the left hand, and the contact area and the force applied by the palm may be different from the contact area and the force applied by the fingers, for example, in the same area, the palm may be in contact when the left hand is held and the fingers may be in contact when the right hand is held. When the Grip sensor (Grip sensor) is used for realizing the Grip, the Grip sensor is a flexible panel, the Grip sensor can be attached to the periphery of the Grip part, and the rectangular area can be obtained when the Grip sensor is unfolded as shown in the figure. In the rectangular area, the value change of each area can be known, and if the data of the area where the Grip touch senser is not touched is 0, the area where the touch is touched is greater than 0. Therefore, according to the corresponding region of the position of the Grip sensor under the X and Y coordinate system, the contact area formed by the palm and/or the fingers on the Grip part when the user grips the Grip can be obtained, and according to the difference of the contact areas, the current mode of the user gripping the handle can be obtained, and whether the user grips the handle by the left hand or the right hand currently used can be judged according to the corresponding mode. Therefore, the sensors are arranged at the preset acquisition positions, the grip characteristic parameters such as the possible stress position and stress area when the user grips the left hand or the right hand, the contact area with the grip part and the like are adopted to establish a corresponding grip scheme (namely the left hand grip characteristic parameter or the right hand grip characteristic parameter for reference), and the grip characteristic parameters acquired in real time are matched with the reference grip scheme, so that the grip mode adopted by the user currently is determined to be left hand grip or right hand grip. Therefore, the current holding mode of the handle, namely the handle is held by the left hand of the user or the handle is held by the right hand of the user, can be determined according to the matching condition of the holding characteristic parameter and the preset left hand holding characteristic parameter or the preset right hand holding characteristic parameter. Of course, in other embodiments, a fingerprint/palm print sensor, an optical sensor, etc. may also be used, and whether the handle is held by the left hand or the right hand of the user is determined according to the holding characteristic parameters formed by the left hand and the right hand of the user in the holding portion is not described herein.

And step S300, triggering the control part to work in a left hand operation mode or a right hand operation mode according to the mode that the VR handle is held.

In this embodiment, the VR handle is provided with two sets of integrated control systems, and the two sets of control systems have hardware architectures and software programs capable of implementing two operation modes, that is, a left-hand operation system and a right-hand operation system, and the VR handle can switch the left-hand operation system and the right-hand operation system according to requirements of practical applications, so that the VR handle operates in the left-hand operation mode and the right-hand operation mode. Specifically, there are two sets of mapping relationships between the keys on the control portion and the control system, for example, the same key on the operation portion may be forward when operated by the left hand of the user and backward when operated by the right hand of the user. Thus, after determining whether the user is currently using the left hand or the right hand to grasp the current VR handle, when it is determined that the user is using the left hand to grasp the VR handle, the control portion of the VR handle is configured in a left-handed manner. When the user is determined to grip the VR handle with the right hand, the control part of the VR handle is configured in a right-hand mode, and even in the case that the left handle and the right handle are difficult to distinguish at night or the sight is poor, the gripping mode does not need to be changed.

Referring to fig. 2, in an embodiment, the control portion is rotatably connected to the holding portion;

step S311, acquiring the current position of the control part;

step S312, when the current position of the control part is matched with the position corresponding to the VR handle holding mode, the control part is driven to keep the current position, and the control part is triggered to work in a left hand operation mode or a right hand operation mode matched with the VR handle holding mode; and the number of the first and second groups,

and step 313, when the current position of the control part is not matched with the position corresponding to the VR handle holding mode, driving the control part to move from the current position to the position matched with the VR handle holding mode, and triggering the control part to work in a left hand operation mode or a right hand operation mode matched with the VR handle holding mode.

In this embodiment, the control portion is provided with mechanical keys, knobs, rockers and the like which can be operated, for example, front, rear, left and right keys, the control portion and the holding portion can be rotatably connected, and the control portion has a first position and a second position relative to the holding portion; when the control part is in the first position, the control part works in a left hand operation mode, and when the control part is in the second position, the control part works in a hand operation mode.

When the holding characteristic data signal generated on the holding part is acquired, namely the user is determined to hold the handle, the relative position between the current position of the control part and the holding part is acquired, and whether the current position of the control part is matched with the position required to correspond to the holding mode is determined. Specifically, when the user holds the handle with the left hand and the control part is currently located at the first position relative to the holding part, it is indicated that the current position of the control part matches the position required for the holding manner, and when the user holds the handle with the left hand and the control part is currently located at the second position relative to the holding part, it is indicated that the position required for the holding manner at the current position of the control part does not match. Or, when the user holds the handle with the right hand and the control part is currently located at the second position relative to the holding part, it indicates that the current position of the control part matches the position required by the holding manner, and when the user holds the handle with the right hand and the control part is currently located at the first position relative to the holding part, it indicates that the position required by the holding manner of the current position of the control part does not match.

When the current position of the control part is determined to be matched with the position corresponding to the held mode of the VR handle, the control part does not need to move at the moment, the current position is maintained, and the operation mode of the control part does not need to be switched. When the current position of the control part is determined to be not matched with the position corresponding to the holding mode of the VR handle, the drive control part moves from the first position to the second position, or the drive control part moves from the second position to the first position, the mapping relation between the keys and the control system is adjusted, namely, the keys on the control panel are remapped according to the mode of the left VR handle and the right VR handle, and when it is detected that the user holds the VR handle by using the left hand, the control panel of the VR handle is configured according to the mode of the left hand. When it is detected that the user grips the VR handle with the right hand, then the control panel of the VR handle is configured in a right-handed manner. For example, when the key is used for triggering a forward command at the first position, the key is adjusted to be used for triggering a backward command at the second position, so that the VR product can be controlled according to the key command triggered by the user, and the normal use of the user is not influenced.

Referring to fig. 3, in an embodiment, the step of triggering the control portion to operate in the left-hand operation mode or the right-hand operation mode according to the way the VR handle is held includes:

step S321, generating a virtual key corresponding to the held mode of the VR handle on the control part according to the held mode of the VR handle;

and step S322, triggering the control part to work in a left hand operation mode or a right hand operation mode matched with the VR handle holding mode.

In this embodiment, the control portion may be configured as a touch panel, and at a position corresponding to the touch panel, virtual keys such as a forward key, a leftward key, a rightward key, an upward key, a backward key, a rocker, and a knob may be generated, and a corresponding mapping relationship is established between the virtual keys and a way in which the VR handle is held, that is, a left-hand operation mode or a right-hand operation mode. Therefore, when the user inputs the touch signal through the virtual key, the coordinate of the virtual key generating the touch signal is converted into the coordinate corresponding to the user operation instruction according to the mapping relation, and the current operation instruction of the user is obtained and responded. For example, when the user holds the handle with his left hand, virtual keys such as a joystick and a knob are generated on the left side of the display panel and virtual keys such as a jog dial and a jog dial are generated on the right side of the display panel in accordance with the operation habit of the user's left hand. When a user holds the handle with the right hand, front, back, left and right virtual keys are generated on the right side of the display panel according to the operation habit of the user with the right hand, and virtual keys such as a rocker and a knob are generated on the left side of the display panel, so that control over VR products can be achieved according to key instructions triggered by the user. In other embodiments, the user may also customize the corresponding virtual key when operating with the left hand or the right hand, and save the preset virtual key, and when the user grips the handle, the handle is automatically triggered to enter the corresponding operation mode.

Referring to fig. 4, in an embodiment, the step of determining the held manner of the VR handle according to the holding characteristic data signal specifically includes:

step S211, acquiring palm characteristic point position data when the holding part is held;

step S212, obtaining user palm information according to the palm feature point position data, and determining the holding mode of the VR handle according to the user palm information.

In this embodiment, the palm size data of the user may be acquired, and the acquired palm feature point position data should be the palm feature point position data when the user grasps the grasping portion of the handle, that is, when the user needs to operate the handle and grasps the grasping portion of the handle, the palm feature point position data of the user is acquired; according to the arrangement, when the holding part is held by a user, the position data of the palm feature point acquired in the state can better reflect the state of the hand when the handle is operated, so that the acquired palm size data is real and reliable. Obtaining palm size data according to the palm feature point position data; obviously, the size of the palm can be reflected through the position data of the palm feature points, and further the palm size data can be obtained; specifically, the palm feature point position data may be edge point position data of the whole palm, the edge point position data reflects positions of all edge points, and the outer contour of the palm may be formed according to all edge points, so as to obtain a size of the palm, that is, obtain palm size data.

Wherein, palm feature point position data includes: position data of a plurality of edge points of the palm and position data of positions of three webbings among the rest four fingers except the thumb; and/or the presence of a gas in the atmosphere,

For the above-mentioned palm size data, in addition to the edge point position data which may be the whole palm, to simplify the data processing process, it may be: a plurality of edge point position data of the palm and position data of the positions of three webs among the rest four fingers except the thumb. The palm size data can exclude the edge point position data of the fingers, and the palm size data can be obtained by acquiring a plurality of edge point position data of the palm and position data of the positions of three webbings among the rest four fingers except the thumb. The specific number of the edge points of the palm can be determined according to actual needs, and the distance between two adjacent edge points can be set in different ways as long as all the edge points can approximately reflect the size of the palm. For different users, the positions of the three webbings among the other four fingers except the thumb are fixed, when the user grasps the holding part of the handle, the positions of the three webbings are determined, and simultaneously, the palm size data can be obtained by matching with a plurality of edge points of the palm. To further reduce the complexity of the data operation, the palm feature point position data may further include: the data of the positions of the index finger, the middle finger, the ring finger and the little finger of the palm can be the positions of the fingertips or the finger bellies of the fingers, and the position of the finger bellies is the best.

The user can be in the collection position of predetermineeing, according to a plurality of marginal point position data of the palm of acquireing or a plurality of marginal point position data of finger, confirms that current user grips with the left hand or the right hand, when going on controlling VR handle switching, switches into corresponding left and right hands mode with the VR handle to carry out remapping according to the mode of controlling the VR handle with the button on the control panel, do not influence user's normal use.

In one embodiment, the user palm information further includes a user type, and the control section further has a plurality of user operation modes corresponding to the user type; the VR handle control method further includes:

In this embodiment, according to the size data of the fingers or the palm, it can be determined whether the current user is an adult or a child, and according to the difference of the user types, corresponding control is performed, for example, a child lock is set, when the child holds the VR handle, the work is stopped to prohibit the child from using the VR handle, or when the child holds the VR handle, the child use time is set to prevent the child from using the virtual reality product for a long time. Of course, in other embodiments, the keys of the control panel may also be adjusted according to different types of users, for example, when a child holds the VR handle, the virtual keys are arranged at positions close to the positions held by the user, which is convenient for the user to operate. The size, width, height, etc. of the virtual keys may also be adjusted according to the user type, e.g. holding position in combination with finger distribution.

Referring to fig. 5, in an embodiment, the step of determining the held manner of the VR handle according to the holding characteristic data signal specifically includes:

step S221, detecting the position relation between the fingers of the user and the holding part, and generating a sensing detection signal;

step S222, identifying user identity information according to the induction detection signal and a preset reference signal, and determining a holding mode of the VR handle according to the user identity information.

In this embodiment, when a user uses the capacitive touch panel for the first time, a corresponding fingerprint or a capacitive sensing detection signal may be recorded to form a preset reference signal, where the preset reference signal may be a capacitance value in a range. The value range of the response of the finger grip corresponding to the sensing detection signal can be adjusted through software algorithm programming and/or a hardware circuit according to practical application, so that the sensitivity of the handle to the left and right hand grip can be adjusted. Because the sensing detection signals formed when the left hand and the right hand are held and the sensing detection signals formed when different users are held are different, when the user holds the handle, the user identity information, namely a certain user specifically, the left hand or the right hand of the user and the like can be identified according to the corresponding relation between the sensing detection signals and the preset reference signals.

Alternatively, a left hand sensing detection signal and a right hand sensing detection signal may be simultaneously recorded in one handle, and the recorded left hand sensing detection signal is used as a first preset reference signal, and the recorded right hand sensing detection signal is used as a second preset reference signal. So set up for when the response detected signal that senses matches with left hand response detected signal, then explain that the handle is held by the left hand. Similarly, when the sensed sensing detection signal is matched with the right hand sensing detection signal, the handle is held by the right hand.

The invention also provides a VR handle.

Referring to fig. 6-11, the VR handle includes a processor 101, a memory 105, and a VR handle control program stored on the memory 105 and executable on the processor 101, wherein the VR handle control program, when executed by the processor 101, implements the steps of the VR handle control method as described above.
