The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:

FIG. 1 shows a flowchart of a reminder method for a virtual reality device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of a reminder apparatus for a virtual reality device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Detailed ways

Various example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which some example embodiments are shown.

The following describes a reminder method and a reminder device for a virtual reality device according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 2 .

FIG. 1 shows a flowchart of a reminder method for a virtual reality device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In step S10, when there is danger information in the actual movement direction of the user in the real environment, the user is reminded in a first predetermined manner.

Here, the actual movement direction of the user may be the forward direction of the user. It should be understood that the actual motion of the user may be associated with the picture of the virtual reality scene displayed by the virtual reality device, that is, the picture of the virtual reality scene displayed by the virtual reality device is updated as the actual motion of the user changes.

For example, when the user walks straight forward in the real environment (that is, moves forward without changing the actual direction of movement), the screen displayed by the virtual reality device is also updated to show that the virtual reality scene is moving forward without changing the direction. Picture before and after exercise. When the user turns to the right (ie, the actual movement direction of the user changes to the right), the picture displayed by the virtual reality device is also updated to the picture after the virtual reality scene moves to the right.

Here, the danger information may indicate various situations that can cause danger to the user, such as obstacles, fire sources, water sources, and the like.

In one embodiment of step S10, when there is danger information in the actual movement direction of the user in the real environment, the screen of the virtual reality scene displayed when there is danger information in the actual movement direction of the user is locked, and the locked screen The border is displayed in a predetermined color and/or the border of the locked screen is displayed in a predetermined blinking manner and/or a prompt sound for reminding the user to stop the actual movement is emitted to remind the user to stop the actual movement.

Here, the predetermined color may be a default color, or may be set according to user needs, for example, the predetermined color may be red. The predetermined blinking manner may be blinking at a default time interval, or may be set according to user needs. For example, the predetermined blinking manner may be blinking at an interval of one second.

For example, when there is an obstacle in the actual movement direction of the user in the real environment, lock the displayed picture of the virtual reality scene (that is, lock the current picture displayed by the virtual reality device), and display the border of the locked picture in red, At the same time, the border of the locked screen flashes at one-second intervals to remind the user to stop the actual movement.

In addition, danger information in the actual movement direction of the user in the real environment may be detected by a predetermined sensor or camera, or information indicating the existence of danger information in the actual movement direction of the user in the real environment may be received from an external device.

For example, obstacles (eg, walls, etc.) existing in the direct direction of the user in the real environment can be detected by the distance sensor, and information indicating the existence of a fire source in the direct direction of the user in the real environment can also be received from the electronic terminal , so as to determine that there is danger information in the actual movement direction of the user.

In step S20, an event indicating that the movement can be continued is detected.

In one embodiment of step S20, the danger information in the actual movement direction of the user is detected; when the danger information in the actual movement direction of the user cannot be detected, it is determined that an event indicating that the movement can be continued is detected.

For example, when the displayed picture of the virtual reality scene is locked, and the border of the locked picture is displayed in red and flashes at one-second intervals, the user can stop the actual movement and actively adjust the actual movement direction. When the movement direction is adjusted to turn 45 degrees to the left, the distance sensor cannot detect the existence of obstacles in the adjusted direction, and it can be determined that an event indicating that the movement can be continued is detected.

Preferably, after sending out the information for reminding the user to adjust the actual movement, the danger information in the actual movement direction of the user is detected.

Here, the information for reminding the user to adjust the actual movement may include: a prompt box for indicating a movement mode that can avoid danger, a prompt box for reminding the user to adjust the actual movement direction, or a movement direction for avoiding danger.

For example, when the danger information in the user's actual movement direction indicates an obstacle, a prompt box can be issued for the movement methods such as stepping over, squatting or bypassing; when the danger information in the user's actual movement direction indicates a fire source, the user can A prompt box or icon (eg, a right-turn arrow) that can move to the right (ie, turn right) is issued to avoid the fire source.

In addition, the step of issuing information for reminding the user to adjust the actual movement may include: calling a predetermined camera to obtain a real-time image of the real environment in the direction of the user's actual movement; superimposing the obtained real-time image of the real environment in a picture-in-picture manner Displayed on the screen of the virtual reality scene to remind the user to adjust the actual movement direction.

In other words, the user can be reminded by superimposing and displaying the real-time image of the real environment on the screen of the virtual reality scene, so that the user can intuitively obtain the danger information in the actual movement direction, thereby adjusting the actual movement direction.

In another embodiment of step S20, after sending out the information for reminding the user to adjust the actual movement, it is detected whether the actual movement direction of the user is the direction indicated by the information for reminding the user to adjust the actual movement; When the actual movement direction is the direction indicated by the information for reminding the user to adjust the actual movement, it is determined that an event indicating that the movement can be continued is detected.

Preferably, the step of issuing information for reminding the user to adjust the actual movement may include: determining a direction in which there is no danger information relative to the actual movement direction of the user in a real environment; issuing a direction for reminding the user to adjust to the direction in which there is no danger information Information.

In other words, in the real environment, it is determined that there is no danger information direction relative to the actual movement direction of the user, and when it is detected that the actual movement direction of the user is adjusted to the determined direction where no danger information exists, it is determined that an event indicating that the movement can continue is detected. .

Specifically, the step of sending out information for reminding the user to adjust to the direction in which there is no danger information may include: moving the picture of the virtual reality scene displayed when the danger information exists in the actual movement direction of the user to the determined direction in which there is no danger information Parallel movement to remind the user to adjust to the direction in which there is no danger information according to the direction of the parallel movement.

As an example, it is assumed that in the real environment, the direct direction of the user is the direct east direction, and there is danger information in the direct east direction. At this time, the displayed picture of the virtual reality scene is locked. After determining that there is no danger information in a direction that is deflected 90 degrees to the right relative to the due east direction (ie, due south direction), move the locked screen in parallel to the right, and then detect whether the user's forward direction is adjusted to due south direction , when it is detected that the direct direction of the user is the south direction, it is determined that an event indicating that the movement can be continued is detected. It should be understood that the user may also be reminded in other manners, such as a prompt box of "deflect 90 degrees to the right".

In step S30, when an event indicating that the movement can be continued is detected, the user is reminded in a second predetermined manner.

In one embodiment of step S30, when an event indicating that the movement can be continued is detected, the border of the locked screen is displayed in a color other than a predetermined color and/or the border of the locked screen is displayed in a color other than a predetermined blinking manner Display and/or send out a prompt sound for reminding the user to continue exercising, so as to remind the user to continue exercising.

For example, when it is detected that the actual movement direction of the user is adjusted to a direction in which no danger information exists, the border of the locked virtual reality scene is displayed in blue, and the border of the locked screen is displayed at three-second intervals. Flashes to remind the user to continue exercising.

In addition, the reminding method may further include: acquiring the actual movement direction of the user when an event indicating that the movement can be continued is detected; determining the acquired actual movement direction of the user as the reference direction of the virtual reality scene; Reminders made by the user.

Here, the reference direction of the virtual reality scene indicates the actual motion direction of the user that provides a reference when updating the virtual reality scene, so that the virtual reality scene is updated with changes in the actual motion of the user.

In other words, the reference direction of the virtual reality scene is changed to the actual motion direction of the user when the event indicating that he can continue to move is detected, so that the actual motion direction of the user when the event indicating that he can continue to move is detected as a reference to make the virtual reality scene follow Updates as the user's actual motion changes.

Preferably, the step of determining the acquired actual motion direction of the user as the reference direction of the virtual reality scene may include: sending out prompt information for setting the reference direction of the virtual reality scene; receiving a setting for setting the acquired actual motion direction of the user The operation is the reference direction of the virtual reality scene; in response to the received operation, the acquired actual motion direction of the user is determined as the reference direction of the virtual reality scene.

It should be understood that the prompt information for setting the reference direction of the virtual reality scene can be sent out by means of a prompt box; the touch pad set on the virtual reality device can be used to receive the information for setting the acquired actual movement direction of the user as virtual reality. The operation of the reference direction of the real scene, but the present invention is not limited to this.

Preferably, the step of stopping the reminder to the user in the second predetermined manner may include: releasing the lock of the screen, and stopping the reminder to the user in the second predetermined manner, thereby continuing to display the screen of the virtual reality scene.

In other words, unlock the screen, and stop displaying the border of the locked screen in a color other than a predetermined color and/or displaying the border of the locked screen in a manner other than a predetermined blinking manner and/or issuing messages for Prompt sound to remind the user to continue to exercise, so as to continue to display the picture of the virtual reality scene.

The actual movement direction of the user may be the forward direction of the user. It should be understood that the actual motion of the user may be associated with the picture of the virtual reality scene displayed by the virtual reality device, that is, the picture of the virtual reality scene displayed by the virtual reality device is updated as the actual motion of the user changes.

For example, when the user walks straight forward in the real environment (that is, moves forward without changing the actual direction of movement), the screen displayed by the virtual reality device is also updated to show that the virtual reality scene is moving forward without changing the direction. Picture before and after exercise. When the user turns to the right (ie, the actual movement direction of the user changes to the right), the picture displayed by the virtual reality device is also updated to the picture after the virtual reality scene moves to the right.

Here, the danger information may indicate various situations that can cause danger to the user, such as obstacles, fire sources, water sources, and the like.

It should be understood that the predetermined color may be a default color, or may be set according to user needs, for example, the predetermined color may be red. The predetermined blinking manner may be blinking at a default time interval, or may be set according to user needs. For example, the predetermined blinking manner may be blinking at an interval of one second.
