Virtual Reality (VR) is a high and new technology appearing in recent years, also called a smart technology (chiefly's translation by famous scientists in China). The virtual reality is a virtual world which utilizes computer simulation to generate a three-dimensional space, provides simulation of senses of vision, hearing, touch and the like for a user, and enables the user to observe objects in the three-dimensional space in time without limitation as if the user is personally on the scene.

Positionable VR systems have high requirements for their environment of use. For example, the optical positioning technology is sensitive to light interference of a working environment, and daylight projected from a window, light of a fluorescent lamp, a desk lamp, a wall lamp and the like, and strong light or flickering light emitted by some electrical appliances may cause certain interference to the operation of the VR system, so that the VR system has the phenomena of positioning blockage, jumping points and the like, and the user experience effect is affected. In addition, certain interference may be caused to the operation of the VR system directly or indirectly by the positions or forms of some homes in the environment, such as indoor closed curtains, opened tables and chairs, etc., so that the phenomena of positioning, jamming, jumping points, etc. occur, and the user experience effect is affected.

Due to the difference between the environment requirements of the VR system and the daily environment of the user, the environment needs to be adjusted (for example, various lamps are turned off, curtains are turned off, folding tables and chairs are turned off, etc.) before the VR system is used every time, which increases the inconvenience for the user, but may affect the experience effect of the user if the adjustment is not made accordingly.

Therefore, aiming at the problems, the invention provides a scheme for combining a virtual reality system and an intelligent home system.

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to examples and the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 is a schematic block diagram showing the structure of a virtual reality system according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 1, a virtual reality system 100 of the present invention may include a first control device 110 and a first communication device 120.

The first control device 110 may generate a state adjustment request in response to a change in an operating state of the virtual reality system 100.

Here, the state of the virtual reality system 100 may be on, working, sleeping, off, etc., and the working state change may include, but is not limited to, entering a power-on state, entering a working state, being in a working state, entering a sleeping state, being in a sleeping state, entering an off state, etc.

The on or off state of the virtual reality system 100 can be controlled by a user operating a physical switch, for example, the virtual reality system is on when the power is turned on, and the virtual reality system is off when the power is turned off.

The operating state or the sleep state of the virtual reality system 100 may also be controlled by operating a physical switch. For example, when the virtual reality system is powered on, the switch of the remote controller is clicked to enable the virtual reality system to enter a working state, and the switch of the remote controller is clicked again to enable the virtual reality system to enter a dormant state.

Or may be a plurality of devices (e.g., a head-mounted display, an optical receiver, a pistol, a handle, a positioning light tower, a camera, etc.) of the virtual reality system 100, and the switching between the operating state and the dormant state is realized through mutual communication. For example, when a user wears a head-mounted display, a pistol, a handle and the like of the virtual reality system on the body, the user is sensed and a corresponding notification signal for entering a working state is sent, a positioning light tower, a camera and the like receive the notification signal to enter the working state, and the virtual reality system enters the working state; and when the use of the user is not sensed, the virtual reality system enters a dormant state.

The first control device 110 may be a processor or a control host of the virtual reality system 100, and when a user operates a physical switch or any VR device is turned on or off, the operating state of the virtual reality system 100 changes, and the first control device 110 may generate a state adjustment request in response to the change. The change of the operating state of the virtual reality system 100 may include, but is not limited to, entering an operating state, entering a sleep state, entering an off state, or the like.

In one embodiment, when the virtual reality system enters an operating state, it may be necessary to adjust a home device (e.g., a position, a shape, etc. of the home device) such as an electrical appliance (e.g., on, off, a light intensity, etc.) in the environment, and at this time, the first control device 110 generates a state adjustment request to request adjustment of a state of the home device in the environment. Or when the virtual reality system enters the sleep state or the off state, the state of the home devices in the environment may need to be restored to the state before use, and at this time, the first control device 110 also generates a state adjustment request to request for restoring the state of the home devices.

It should be appreciated that changes in the operating state of the virtual reality system 100 may include, but are not limited to, the above examples. Turning on or off any device in the virtual reality system 100 may trigger turning on or off the virtual reality system 100.

Wherein the state adjustment request may be intuitive request information. For example, the state adjustment request may include a request to turn on, turn off, adjust brightness, adjust position, or adjust shape, so as to turn on or turn off the home devices in the smart home system, or adjust brightness, position, shape, and the like of the home devices, so as to provide an efficient working environment for the virtual reality system 100 and improve the user experience.

The state adjustment request may also be a non-intuitive request message. For example, the status adjustment request may be "001", "010", "011", "101" … …, which respectively corresponds to "turn on the home device", "turn off the home device", "reduce the light intensity", "move the device position" … …, and the status adjustment request may be transmitted conveniently to achieve information interaction.

The state adjustment request may be a state notification signal that is only a change in the operating state of the virtual reality system.

The first control device 110 can generate the status adjustment request in various ways and in various forms, which are not described herein again.

The first communication device 120 may be configured to send a status adjustment request to the smart home system.

Here, the first communication device 120 may be a communication module provided in the virtual reality system 100, which may enable information interaction with the smart home system in a direct or indirect, wired or wireless manner.

The first communication device 120 may be a wired communication device or a wireless communication device. Preferably, the first communication device 120 may be a wireless communication device. In this way, the first communication device 120 can send out the status adjustment request in a wireless communication manner without installing a cable between the two devices, which simplifies the installation procedure and the structure of the system. The wireless communication device can perform information interaction in a space by adopting electromagnetic wave signals, the electromagnetic wave signals are less influenced by the environment, and when a shielding object exists in the space, the electromagnetic wave signals can also penetrate through the shielding object and be received by a related device, and the signals cannot be weakened.

The first communication device 120 may be provided in the virtual reality system 100 and may be separately provided independently from other devices in the system and communicate with the first control device 110 in the system. In this way, the first communication device 120 can timely implement communication between the virtual reality system 100 and the smart home system, timely obtain the status adjustment request made by the first control device 110, and send the request to the smart home system, so that the smart home system can conveniently adjust the working environment of the virtual reality system 100.

In addition, a plurality of VR devices may be provided in the virtual reality system 100, and the first control device 110 may generate a status adjustment request based on data related to the VR devices. Fig. 2 shows a schematic block diagram of the structure of a virtual reality system 100 according to another embodiment of the present invention.

The first control device 110 may also generate a status adjustment request based on the turning on or off of any device in the virtual reality system 100, and preferably, may generate a status adjustment request based on a change in the status of a portable device worn by the user. As such, the virtual reality system 100 may include a portable device 130 as shown in fig. 2, the portable device 130 is adapted to be worn on a user, and the first control apparatus 110 may generate the status adjustment request in response to a change in an operating status of the portable device 130.

Here, the portable device 130 may be a head mounted display (abbreviated as a head display), a positioning member, a pistol, a handle, or the like. The portable device 130 may have an optical receiver mounted thereon, the optical receiver being susceptible to environmental influences, and the first control means may generate the status adjustment request based on a change in an operating status of the optical receiver. The devices can be worn or carried on the body of a user, and can further reflect whether the VR system starts to work actually or not, and provide more accurate information of the device state for the first control device 110 when the working state of the household device needs to be adjusted.

The portable device may be considered to be in an operating state when the portable device is worn or carried by the user or the wearing or carrying time of the portable device exceeds a predetermined time threshold. When the portable device enters, is in the working state or exits the working state, the working state of the portable device changes, and the first control device 110 generates a state adjustment request in response to the change of the working state of the portable device.

Here, it can be considered that the operating state of the virtual reality system 100 changes when the operating state of the mobile device changes. This is because, when the user uses or stops using the portable device (in this case, the portable device enters or exits the operating state), the portable device may send a notification signal indicating that the portable device enters or exits the operating state to other devices (for example, a positioning light tower, a camera, etc.) in the virtual reality system 100, and the other devices may receive the notification signal and interact with information, so that the virtual reality system 100 enters or exits the operating state and the operating state of the virtual reality system 100 changes. The first control device 110 may generate a state adjustment request in response to a change in an operating state of the virtual reality system 100.

In one embodiment, when sensing that the user wears the head display on the head, the head display enters a working state, and the virtual reality system also enters a working state, the first control device 110 generates a state adjustment request in response to the virtual reality system entering the working state, and the first communication device 120 sends the state adjustment request to the smart home system. Therefore, the intelligent home system can provide a good working environment for the virtual reality system, and better use experience is provided for users.

The first control device may also generate the status adjustment request according to the change of the operating status of other devices in the virtual reality system, for example, a positioning light tower, a camera, and the like.

In addition, the virtual reality system 100 may further include: the environment monitoring device 140 is configured to monitor an environmental parameter of a space in which the virtual reality system 100 is located, and the first control device 110 may further generate a status adjustment request based on the environmental parameter.

Here, the environmental parameter may be a parameter representing an environmental condition of a space in which the virtual reality system 100 is located, and may include, for example, brightness, temperature, humidity, sound decibel, and the like in the space. For example, one or more light fixtures disposed in a space in which the system is located may emit light, or sunlight shining from outdoors into indoors may affect the use environment of the virtual reality system 100 to some extent. The environment monitoring device may be one or more optical signal sensors, which are distributed at predetermined positions in the space where the virtual reality system 100 is located, and can sense parameters such as light intensity in the space. The first control means 110 may generate a status adjustment request based on an environmental parameter such as light intensity. Other environmental parameters may also be sensed by corresponding environmental monitoring devices disposed in the space.

Wherein the first control means 110 may generate a state adjustment request in each case.

For example, if the smart home system is not turned on, the first control device 110 may generate the state adjustment request when the virtual reality system is turned on or off. When the intelligent home system is not started, the module connected with the virtual reality system in the system can still receive the state adjustment request sent by the virtual reality system, correspondingly start the intelligent home system, and send a state adjustment instruction to home equipment in the space.

Or, the state adjustment request is generated under the condition that the environment state is not suitable for the virtual reality system to work when the intelligent home system is started and the virtual reality system is started. For example, when the user turns on the virtual reality system, if the light intensity of the space affects the operation of the virtual reality system, the first control device 110 may generate an adjustment request for reducing the light intensity in the space or turning off the light emitting devices in the space. When the virtual reality system is turned off (it can be considered that the virtual reality system enters a sleep state, or the user turns off the power of the virtual reality system, turning off the virtual reality system), the first control device 110 may generate an adjustment request to restore the light intensity in the space, or turn on the light emitting appliances in the space.

Or, the smart home system is turned on, and in the case that the environment state is not suitable for the virtual reality system to work in the turned-on state of the virtual reality system, the first control device 110 may generate the state adjustment request. After the virtual reality system is started, the environmental state is monitored in real time in the working process, and if the environmental state changes, so that the virtual reality system is not suitable for the VR system to work, the first control device 110 generates a state adjustment request. For example, the environment monitoring apparatus may also monitor the decibels of sounds in the space, and when it is monitored that the operating sounds of household appliances such as air conditioners, refrigerators, and the like in the space affect the use of the virtual reality system, the first control apparatus 110 may generate a state adjustment request requesting to turn off the noise-generating appliances or adjust the appliances to a silent state.

For another example, when the virtual reality system is in an on state, the environment monitoring device monitors that the light intensity in the space still does not meet the requirement of the virtual reality system, and the first control device 110 may still generate an adjustment request for requesting to reduce the light intensity in the space or to turn off the light emitting device.

It should be appreciated that the generation of the state adjustment request may include, but is not limited to, the above examples.

In addition, the virtual reality system may further include: a positioning beam scanning device (not shown in the figure) adapted to be fixedly arranged in the space for scanning the positioning beam; and the light receiver (not shown in the figure) is suitable for being arranged on the surface of the portable equipment worn by the user and used for receiving the positioning light beam and the ambient light swept by the positioning light beam sweeping device. Wherein the environment monitoring device may comprise a light receiver and the environmental parameter may comprise an intensity of the ambient light received by the light beam receiver.

The positioning light beam scanning device can be fixedly arranged at a preset position (for example, the top corner position around a room can be provided, and one or more than one positioning light beam can also be arranged), and the positioning light beam can be scanned into the space under the working state of the positioning light beam scanning device, and the scanning positioning light beam can have multiple modes (for example, the transverse or longitudinal positioning light beam can be scanned), so that the space can be completely scanned. The positioning beam may be laser light, infrared light, multiple colors of visible light, or the like.

The light receiver may also be an ambient light receiver separately arranged in the space. For example, the light receiver may be arranged at an optimal lighting position in the space, and when it is detected that the light intensity received by the light receiver is not suitable for the working environment of the virtual reality system, the first control device 110 may generate a state adjustment request for requesting the curtain to be closed.

Preferably, the optical receiver may be disposed on a surface of the portable device worn by the user for receiving the positioning beam and the ambient light swept by the positioning beam sweeping means. Therefore, the light receiver for receiving the positioning light beams can be used for receiving the ambient light, the number of the light receivers is reduced, the cost is reduced, and meanwhile, the purpose of monitoring the ambient light can be achieved. In addition, as the user wears the portable device to move, the positioning light beam projected on the light receiver and the ambient light change in real time, and the first control device 110 can know the change in real time and generate the state adjustment request in time.

Further, the first control device 110 may generate a status adjustment request according to the intensity ratio of the positioning light beam received by the light receiver and the ambient light.

Here, the first control device 110 may distinguish the received positioning light beam from the ambient light in a certain way. For example, the frequency of the positioning beam may be one or several bands, and the ambient light may be a full band of light (e.g., may be sunlight) or a specific band of light (e.g., may be red, yellow, green, etc. bands), and the positioning beam and/or the ambient light may be distinguished according to the band of the received light. Alternatively, the optical receiver receives the positioning beam only when sweeping the positioning beam, and the ambient light can be received at other times, and the positioning beam and/or the ambient light can be distinguished according to the time when the optical receiver receives the light.

The light receiver may monitor the light intensity of the positioning light beam and/or the ambient light while receiving the positioning light beam and/or the ambient light, and the first control device 110 may generate the status adjustment request according to a ratio of the light intensities of the positioning light beam and the ambient light. In one embodiment, the minimum predetermined threshold of the intensity ratio of the positioning light beam to the ambient light may be set to 2 (for example, the positioning light beam intensity: the ambient light intensity is 2:1), and when the ratio of the positioning light beam to the ambient light intensity is greater than or equal to the minimum predetermined threshold, the influence of the ambient light on the positioning light beam is considered to be small and negligible, so the first control device 110 does not generate the status adjustment request. When the ratio of the intensity of the positioning light beam to the intensity of the ambient light is smaller than the minimum predetermined threshold, it is considered that the influence of the ambient light on the positioning light beam is large and can not be ignored, so that a state adjustment request is generated to request the reduction of the intensity of the ambient light.

In addition, the virtual reality system may further include a home device monitoring apparatus 150, which may be configured to monitor a location or a form of a home device, and the first control apparatus 110 may further generate a status adjustment request based on the location or the form of the home device.

Here, the home appliances may include electric appliances, furniture, and other various appliances such as a heater, a wall-mounted stove, an air conditioner, a curtain, etc., and the home appliance monitoring device may monitor the location or the shape of the appliances. For example, the position of the electrical appliance (for example, the sweeping robot may be monitored, and when the sweeping robot is located within the working range of the virtual reality system, the position of the electrical appliance needs to be moved, so as to prevent the user from being hindered when the user uses the virtual reality system to play a game or move, and the use experience of the user is affected, and therefore, the first control device 110 generates the state adjustment request.

Alternatively, the form of the device such as furniture may be monitored. For example, when the home device monitoring apparatus monitors that the folding table, chair, sofa, etc. is in the open state, it needs to be restored to the closed state, and the first control apparatus 110 generates a state adjustment request requesting to restore the folding table, chair, sofa, etc. in the open state.

It should be understood that the environment monitoring device and/or the home device monitoring device provide related data for the virtual reality system, and monitor the environment and the home devices in the smart home system, so that the environment monitoring device and the home device monitoring device can be regarded as belonging to the virtual reality system and the smart home system, and there is no strict division, which is not limited to this.

The devices in the virtual reality system, such as the first communication device 120 or multiple VR devices (e.g., portable devices, environment monitoring devices, home device monitoring devices, etc.), may be independent from the first control device 110, and connected to the first control device 110, and the connection may be direct or indirect, wired or wireless.

Fig. 3 shows an intelligent home control system according to an embodiment of the present invention, which may be used to control one or more home devices in the intelligent home system.

As shown in fig. 3, the smart home control system 300 of the present invention may include: a second communication device 320 and a second control device 310.

The second communication device 320 is configured to receive a status adjustment request from the virtual reality system.

Here, the second communication device 320 may also be a wireless communication device for receiving the wireless state adjustment request transmitted by the first communication device 120.

And the second control device 310 is used for sending a state adjusting instruction to the household equipment in response to the state adjusting request.

Here, the state adjustment request may be intuitive request information, and the second control device 310 may directly read the request and issue a state adjustment instruction according to the request. The state adjusting instruction may include an opening instruction, a closing instruction, a brightness adjusting instruction, a position adjusting instruction, a form adjusting instruction, or the like, so as to open or close the specified household device, or adjust the brightness, the position, the form, and the like of the specified household device, so as to provide an efficient working environment for the virtual reality system, and improve the use experience of the user.

The status adjustment request may be non-intuitive information, and the second control device 310 may parse the status adjustment request received by the second communication device 320. For example, the status adjustment request may be "001", "010", "011", "101", … …, the status adjustment command corresponding to each of the requests is "turn on the home equipment", "turn off the home equipment", "reduce the light emission intensity", "move the position", and the like, and the second control device 310 analyzes the status adjustment request, and issues the status adjustment command based on the analyzed data, thereby adjusting the home equipment.

The adjustment range of the status adjustment instruction may include, but is not limited to, indoor lighting and space size.

The state adjusting instruction may include a closing instruction or an opening instruction for instructing to close or open the specified home devices. For example, when the virtual reality system enters an operating state, if light in the space affects good presentation of the virtual reality scene, or the user does not need to turn on other electrical devices (for example, a television, a washing machine, a microwave oven, etc.) when the user is immersed in the virtual reality scene, the first control device 110 generates a state adjustment request for turning off all the light-emitting electrical devices in the space, and the second control device 310 sends out a state adjustment instruction for turning off all the light-emitting electrical devices in the space in response to the state adjustment request, so as to provide a good operating environment for the virtual reality system. When the virtual reality system exits the working state, the first control device 110 may generate a state adjustment request for restoring all the light-emitting electrical devices to the state before the virtual reality system is used, and the second control device 310 may issue a state adjustment instruction for restoring the light-emitting electrical devices in response to the state adjustment request, so as to restore the state of all the light-emitting electrical devices in the space.

When the user is immersed in the virtual reality system, the light in the environment or the light, the electric appliance and the like at other positions are not needed, and the equipment can be turned off by the turn-off instruction sent by the second control device, so that the aim of saving energy can be fulfilled.

The state adjusting instruction can also comprise a brightness adjusting instruction which is used for instructing to adjust the luminous intensity of the specified household equipment. For example, when the virtual reality system enters an operating state, the brightness of the light fixtures in the space is such that the user cannot be well immersed in the virtual reality scene, the first control device 110 may generate a state adjustment request of "decreasing the brightness of the light fixtures", and the second control device 310 may issue a state adjustment instruction of "decreasing the brightness of the light fixtures" in response to the state adjustment request, so as to decrease the brightness of the light fixtures in the space, so that the user may be better immersed in the virtual reality scene.

The state adjustment instructions may also include position adjustment instructions to instruct changing the position of the designated home device. For example, when the user is immersed in the virtual reality game, for better immersion or for the safety of the user, the first control device 110 may generate a status adjustment request for "moving the position of the home equipment", and the second control device 310 may issue a status adjustment instruction for "moving the position of the home equipment" in response to the status adjustment request, and move the home equipment (for example, a sofa or a tea table) within a predetermined range around the position (for example, a living room) where the user is located, so that the user may have a sufficient activity range, ensure the safety of the user, and improve the use experience of the user.

The state adjustment instructions may also include form adjustment instructions for instructing to adjust the form of the specified household device. The form of the household equipment can include the opening and closing degree of a curtain, the opening or folding form of a folding table and chair and the like, and the use experience of a virtual reality system of a user can be influenced to a certain degree by the form of the household equipment. For example, when the user uses the virtual reality system in the daytime (generally, the window shades are in a closed state in the daytime), sunlight entering the indoor space from the window makes the indoor space brighter, which affects the user's experience, at this time, the first control device 110 may generate a state adjustment request of "opening the window shades", and the second control device 310 may issue a state adjustment instruction of "opening the window shades" in response to the state adjustment request, so as to prevent outdoor light from entering the indoor space, reduce the ambient light brightness of the indoor space, and make the user better immersed in the virtual reality scene.

In addition, an individualized setting module (not shown in the figure) can be further arranged in the intelligent home control system, and a user can also preset an individualized home control mode in the working environment of the VR system according to personal needs. The state adjustment request may also be a state notification signal that only indicates a change in the working state of the virtual reality system, so as to notify the virtual reality system of the state of the virtual reality system, so that the second control device 310 may send a state adjustment instruction for executing the relevant setting preset in the personalization module by the user in response to the state notification signal, implement adjustment of the home equipment, and provide a good working environment for the virtual reality system.

Taking a laser positioning system as an example, the laser positioning system is combined with an intelligent home system. The laser positioning technology is sensitive to the strong light and the flash light irradiation of the working environment, and has certain requirements on the working range. Assume one: a, B, C, D four kinds of light-emitting devices are arranged in the room, wherein A, B two lamps emit strong light to influence the work of the laser positioning system. Assume two: a foldable table within the room, when in an unfolded position, would occupy the operating range of the laser positioning system. Firstly, according to the characteristics of the laser positioning technology, corresponding settings can be made in the intelligent household personalized setting module, so that when the laser positioning technology works and is started, the system can automatically turn off A, B two lamps. In addition, the same setting is also made for C, D two lamps, considering that the lamp is not needed in VR system and it can save electricity and protect environment after it is turned off. Besides the light, the user also sets the control state of the folding table. And after the setting is successful, starting the laser positioning system, sending a message to the intelligent home system by the laser positioning system at the moment, and detecting A, B the working states of the two lamps after the intelligent home system receives the message. If A, B two lights are working, the smart home system immediately turns off A, B two lights. And at the same time, the table is automatically folded from the unfolded state. After the laser positioning system is closed, the intelligent home system is triggered to recover A, B the working states of two lamps, electrical appliances, furniture and the like until the laser positioning system is opened.

The invention also provides an intelligent home system, and fig. 4 is a schematic block diagram illustrating the structure of the intelligent home system according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 4, the smart home system 400 may include one or more home devices 420 and the smart home control system 300. The smart home control system 300 may issue a status adjustment instruction to the home device 420 in response to a status adjustment request from the virtual reality system 100.

Here, the status adjustment request of the virtual reality system 100 may be made by the first control device 110 based on various monitoring data information, and may specifically refer to the above related description, which is not described herein again.

The intelligent household control system can also respond to a request input by a user and send a state adjusting instruction to the intelligent household equipment. The user input request may also include a request sent by the user to the smart home control system using a remote control, a mobile phone application, or other device, equipment, etc. For example, before the user goes home, the state adjusting instruction can be sent to the intelligent home control system through application software installed on the mobile phone, so that home equipment such as an air conditioner, a water heater and an air purifier in the intelligent home system can be started, the indoor environment is comfortable when the user enters a home, and the user can use hot water without waiting.

So far, the virtual reality system and the smart home system according to the present invention are described in detail with reference to fig. 1 to 4. By combining the virtual reality system and the intelligent home system, the environment state of the virtual reality system can be automatically and individually adjusted, and a proper working environment is provided for the VR system.
