As shown in fig. 1, the motion sensing apparatus includes a flexible touch screen 10, a contact point film 20, and a controller 30;
the contact film 20 comprises a substrate 21 and a plurality of raised contacts 22 arranged on the inner wall of the substrate 21, and the contact film 20 makes at least one contact 22 contact with the flexible touch screen 10 under the action of pressure so that the flexible touch screen 10 senses the position of the contact point of the at least one contact 22 and the flexible touch screen 10;
the controller 30 is configured to process data of the contact point.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the flexible touch screen 10 may be a capacitive touch screen or a resistive touch screen, and the shape of the flexible touch screen 10 is a planar shape.
Alternatively, in various embodiments of the present invention, the edge of the flexible touch screen 10 may be connected to the contact film 20, or may be separated from the contact film 20 and connected thereto by another connection structure.
Preferably, in some possible embodiments of the invention, the number of contacts is 10.
It should be noted that the contact film 20 according to the embodiment of the present invention may have different shapes, and the contact film 20 with different shapes may satisfy the requirement that the number of contacts touching the flexible touch screen 10 is different or the position of the contacts touching the flexible touch screen 10 is different when different pressures are applied to the contact film 20 or different positions of the contact film 20 are applied.
In the embodiment of the invention, the motion sensing device is arranged on the wearable garment of the user, so that the motion of the corresponding part of the user can be detected, for example, when the foot lifting motion of the user needs to be detected, the motion sensing device can be attached between two layers of fabrics of a tongue, and for example, the intelligent sensing device can also be arranged at the elbow joint on sleeves to detect the bending or arm swinging motion of arms, the intelligent sensing device is arranged at the knee joint on trouser legs to detect the bending or leg lifting motion of legs, and the intelligent sensing device is arranged on underwear to detect the motion frequency and amplitude of the thoracic cavity and the belly skin of the human body. In specific operation, because the intelligent sensing device is installed at a proper position, when a user generates a corresponding action, pressure is generated on the contact film 20, for example, the motion sensing device is attached between two layers of fabric of a tongue, when the user lifts the foot, the motion sensing device will press the contact film 20, so that one or more contacts 22 of the contact film 20 approach or contact the flexible touch screen 10, the flexible touch screen 10 will sense the contact, and thus the position of the contact 22 can be recorded and counted, and the action of the user can be judged according to the position of the contact 22.
It can be seen that, in the technical scheme provided by this embodiment, through the motion sensing device including the contact film 20, the flexible touch screen 10 and the controller 30, when the contact film 20 makes different contacts 22 on it contact with the flexible touch screen 10 under the effect of different pressures, thereby the flexible touch screen 10 judges the user's action and counts the user's motion by sensing the position and number of the contact point, so that the user can arrange his/her motion more reasonably, and the user experience is improved.
Further, the motion sensor device further comprises a connector 40 for connecting the contact film 20 with the controller 30 through the connector 40, and for connecting the flexible touch screen 10 with the controller 30 through the connector 40, as can be seen in particular in fig. 2.
Further, the motion sensor apparatus further includes a power supply for supplying power to the entire motion sensor apparatus, which may be connected to the controller 30 and the connector 40, respectively, or may be connected to only the controller 30, so that power is supplied to the connector 40 and the touch film and the flexible touch screen 10 connected to the connector 40 through the controller 30.
Optionally, in some possible embodiments of the invention, the flexible touch screen 10 comprises a capacitive touch screen 11, and the contact points 22 of the contact point film 20 form a potential difference with the capacitive touch screen 11.
It can be understood that, according to the operation principle of the capacitive touch screen 11, after a potential difference is formed between the contact point 22 of the contact point film 20 and the capacitive touch screen 11, when the contact point 22 is in contact with the capacitive touch screen 11, a coupling capacitance is formed between the contact point 22 and the capacitive touch screen 11 due to the potential difference, so that the contact point draws a small current from the capacitive touch screen 11 at the contact position, and the controller 30 determines the position of the touch point according to the position of the current.
Optionally, in some possible embodiments of the present invention, the flexible touch screen 10 includes a capacitive touch screen 11, the substrate 21 is made of an insulating material, the contact 22 is made of a conductive material, the substrate 21 encloses the conductive wire 23, the flexible touch screen 10 is electrically connected to the contact film 20, the contact 22 is connected to the connector 40 through the conductive wire 23, and the connector 40 is connected to the controller 30. The detailed structure can be seen in fig. 1. Fig. 1 shows the structure and connection relationship between the contact 22 and the conductive line 23 by way of example only for one of the contacts, and it is understood that the structure and connection relationship between the other contacts 22 and the conductive line 23 are also the same as those of the contact. The entire contact 22 may be made of a conductive material (e.g., metal) and is fixed to the substrate 21 by bonding, integral molding, snap-fitting, etc. The conductive line 23 includes a conductive segment 231 disposed along the extending direction of the substrate and a connection segment 232 disposed perpendicularly from the conductive segment. The connecting segment 232 of the conductive line 23 connects the contact 22 with the conductive segment 231. See in particular fig. 3. It is understood that the contact 22 may be made of a mixture of conductive material and insulating material, such as a conductive wire 23 extending along the connecting section 232 in the middle of the insulating material, or a conductive material on the left, an insulating material on the right, etc., so long as the contact 22 is maintained to form a conductive path.
Further, the base material 21 is made of a flexible material, which is deformed when being subjected to pressure, so that the contact 22 is brought into contact with the flexible touch panel 10, and is restored to be deformed after the pressure is removed, so that the contact 22 is separated from the flexible touch panel 10. In addition, since the base material 21 is flexible, in addition to the vertical force, a force in a lateral direction (i.e., a direction perpendicular to the vertical direction) can be detected by the contact 22. When the contact film 20 is subjected to vertical and lateral acting forces, the substrate is pressed down by the vertical acting force, and the contact 22 is driven to contact with the flexible touch screen 10; at the same time, the lateral force will cause the substrate 21 to deform or displace laterally, thereby causing the contact 22 to displace laterally. The flexible touch screen 10 detects the displacement of the contact 22 in the lateral direction, so that the lateral acting force can be judged, and the motion sensing device can detect more motion situations.
It will be appreciated that if the flexible touch screen 10 is a capacitive touch screen, and the capacitive touch screen generates a touch sense that requires the touch object to be a conductor, the contact points 22 will be provided as a conductive material.
Specifically, when the flexible touch screen 10 is a capacitive touch screen, the power supply circuit and the communication circuit in the chip of the flexible touch screen 10 are connected to the controller 30 and the power supply through the connector 40, wherein the chip of the flexible touch screen 10 is integrated in the flexible touch screen 10 for sensing the touch behavior on the flexible touch screen 10.
Alternatively, in some possible embodiments of the invention, the contact 22 of the contact film 20 is grounded through a conductive line 23.
Specifically, when the flexible touch screen 10 is a capacitive touch screen, the contact 22 is connected to the Ground (GND) of the connector 40 through the conductive line 23, so that a potential difference is formed between the flexible touch screen 10 and the contact 22.
Specifically, when the motion sensor apparatus is operated, a potential difference is formed between the contact point 22 and the capacitive touch screen 11 due to the power on of the capacitive touch screen 11, and when the contact point 22 is in contact with the capacitive touch screen 11, a coupling capacitance is formed between the contact point 22 and the capacitive touch screen 11 due to the potential difference, so that the contact point 22 draws a small current from the capacitive touch screen 11 at the contact position, and the current flows through the contact point 22 and enters the ground. The chip of the capacitive touch screen 11 can determine the position of the touch point on the capacitive touch screen 10 according to the current position.
Furthermore, because the current is generated by means of coupling capacitance, the contact 22 does not need to contact the capacitive touch screen 11, but can generate the current at a very close position, that is, when the distance between the contact 22 and the capacitive touch screen 11 is less than a certain distance, the current can be generated, so that the capacitive touch screen 11 senses the contact.
Further, the outer surface of the contact 22 may be coated with an insulating film, and the contact 22 may be normally identified. The insulating film may be made of a soft material (e.g., PVC, PET, etc.), which may buffer the metal contacts 22 when contacting the flexible touch screen 10, thereby protecting the flexible touch screen 10.
Alternatively, an insulating film may be disposed on the surface of the capacitive touch panel 11, and the contact 22 recognition may be performed normally as well.
It will be appreciated that by providing the flexible touch screen 10 as a capacitive touch screen and providing the contacts 22 as a conductive material, the flexible touch screen 10 can easily sense contact of the contacts 22 to identify the point of contact on the flexible touch screen 10.
Optionally, in some possible embodiments of the present invention, the flexible touch screen 10 includes a resistive touch screen 12, and the contacts 22 of the contact film 20 include an insulating material.
Alternatively, in other possible embodiments of the present invention, the flexible touch screen 10 is a resistive touch screen, and the contact film 20 is made of an insulating material. In this case, the contact 22 of the contact film 20 may be formed integrally with the base 21 using an insulating material, and no conductive line may be provided in the contact film 20.
Specifically, when the flexible touch screen 10 is a resistive touch screen 12, the position of the contact point 22 is identified because the resistive touch screen 12 operates according to the principle that it generates a resistance change according to a pressure applied to its surface. According to this characteristic of the resistive touch panel 12, it is not necessary to provide conductive traces in the substrate 21, nor is it necessary to use a conductive material for the contacts 22, in other words, the entire contact film can be made of an insulating material. In addition, the flexible touch screen 10 may also be other types of touch screens, such as ultrasonic touch screens, infrared touch screens, etc., depending on the needs.
It will be appreciated that when the flexible touch screen 10 is a resistive touch screen 12, the contact membrane 20 may be provided directly as an insulating material so that the position of the contact 22 is sensed by the pressure of the contact 22 against the resistive touch screen 12.
Optionally, in some possible embodiments of the present invention, the contact film 20 includes a first contact 221 and a second contact 222 and a third contact 223 respectively located at two opposite sides of the first contact 221 and adjacent to the first contact 221, and at least one of the second contact 222 and the third contact 223 is separated from the flexible touch screen 10 when the first contact 221 contacts the flexible touch screen 10.
Optionally, in some possible embodiments of the present invention, the distance of the first contact 221 with respect to the flexible touch screen 10 is greater than the distance of the second contact 222 with respect to the flexible touch screen 10 and less than the distance of the third contact 223 with respect to the flexible touch screen 10.
Alternatively, in some possible embodiments of the present invention, the flexible touch screen 10 includes an arch shape, and the second contact 222, the first contact 221, and the third contact 223 are arranged in a direction from an edge of the arch shape toward a middle of the arch shape. See figure 3.
It will be appreciated that with this arrangement, it is possible that when pressure is applied to a particular contact 22, that contact 22 will only be brought into contact with the flexible touch screen 10, and not all contacts 22 nearby will be brought into contact with the flexible touch screen 10, thereby making the detection of the contact 22 more accurate.
Further, in some possible embodiments of the present invention, the contact film 20 has an arch shape, a lower surface of the arch shape is opposite to the flexible touch screen 10, and the contact 22 is located on the lower surface of the arch shape. See in particular fig. 3. The distance of the contact 22 located at the middle of the arch relative to the flexible touch screen 10 is greater than the distance of the contact 22 located at the end of the arch relative to the flexible touch screen 10.
It will be appreciated that by using the dome-shaped configuration of the contact film 20 as shown in FIG. 3, when a certain pressure is applied to a certain position of the contact film 20, the probability that other contacts 22 around the contact will contact the flexible touch screen 10 is reduced (e.g., at least other contacts 22 higher than the contact 22 will not contact the flexible touch screen 10). If planar
By the structure, when a certain contact 22 is pressed, the nearby contact 22 may be brought into contact with the flexible touch screen 10 by the certain contact 22, thereby interfering with the position detection of the flexible touch screen 10, so that the contact film 20 with the arch structure will improve the detection accuracy.
The dome-shaped contact film 20 can be used when the flexible touch panel 10 is a capacitive touch panel, or when the flexible touch panel 10 is a resistive touch panel. Further, in some possible embodiments of the present invention, the contact film 20 is in a wave shape, and the contacts 22 are located at the peaks and valleys of the contact film 20.
It can be understood that, when the contact film 20 is set in the wave shape shown in fig. 4, and the contacts 22 are set at both the wave crest and the wave trough, so that the contacts 22 located at the wave trough do not cause the contacts 22 at the wave crests on both sides to contact the flexible touch screen 10 when pressed down, and when the pressure acting on the contact film 20 is large, the contacts 22 at the wave crests can be caused to contact the flexible touch screen 10, so that the magnitude of the pressure acting on the contact film 20 can be further judged through the position of the contact point, and the detection accuracy is further improved.
Optionally, in some possible embodiments of the present invention, the distance of the first contact 221 from the flexible touch screen 10 is smaller than the distance of the second contact 222 from the flexible touch screen 10 and smaller than the distance of the third contact 223 from the flexible touch screen.
Specifically, when the contact film is waved, the first contact 221, the second contact 222, and the third contact 223 are located at the valley, the peak, and the peak of the contact film 20, respectively. Please refer to fig. 4.
It should be noted that the contact film 20 with the wavy structure can be used when the flexible touch screen 10 is a capacitive touch screen, or can be used when the flexible touch screen 10 is a resistive touch screen.
It is understood that the contact film 20 may be arranged in a plane, and the flexible touch screen 10 may be arranged in an arch or wave shape, which also has the effect of improving the detection accuracy.
Further, in some possible embodiments of the present invention, the boundary of the flexible touch screen 10 and the boundary of the contact film 20 are seamlessly connected so that a hollow sealed space is formed between the flexible touch screen 10 and the contact film 20, and the sealed space is filled with a gas.
It will be appreciated that by filling the sealed space formed by the contact film 20 and the flexible touch screen 10 with gas, when a certain contact 22 is pressed, the gas will be pressed to flow to both sides, i.e. the periphery of the contact 22 will bulge. Therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent the other contacts 22 around the contact 22 from contacting the flexible touch screen 10 to cause interference. And the gas filling manner has a good interference preventing effect even for the flat contact film 20.
Furthermore, after the sealed space formed by the contact film 20 and the flexible touch screen 10 is filled with the gas, the comfort level sensed by the corresponding human body part will be higher after the motion sensing device is installed on the intelligent wearing object, and meanwhile, the gas filling amount will determine the external force required when all the contacts 22 contact the flexible touch screen 10 and the comfort level of the human body, so that the gas can be filled as required, and the setting of the motion sensing device is more flexible.
It should be noted that this structure may be used when the flexible touch screen 10 is a capacitive touch screen, or may be used when the flexible touch screen 10 is a resistive touch screen.

Referring also to fig. 3 and 4, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a wearable module for detecting a motion condition, including: the touch screen comprises a flexible touch screen 10 and a touch film 20, wherein the touch film 20 comprises a touch point 22 used for being in contact with the flexible touch screen 10, one of the flexible touch screen 10 and the touch film 20 is deformed when being subjected to external acting force, so that the touch point 22 acts on the flexible touch screen 10, and the flexible touch screen 10 detects the action exerted on the flexible touch screen 10 by the touch point 22 to generate touch data.
Further, the flexible touch screen 10 can perform a quantity statistics and a touch direction analysis on the detected touch data, so as to further detect the motion of the user.
Optionally, in some possible embodiments of the present invention, the contact 22 is separated from the flexible touch screen 10 by a gap or an insulating film when the contact 22 acts on the flexible touch screen 10.
Alternatively, in some possible embodiments of the present invention, the number of the contacts 22 is plural, and the distance from each contact 22 to the flexible touch screen 10 is different from the distance from the adjacent contact 22 to the flexible touch screen 10.
Optionally, in some possible embodiments of the present invention, the flexible touch screen 10 may be a capacitive touch screen 11 or a resistive touch screen 12.
Alternatively, in some possible embodiments of the present invention, the external force includes a vertical force and a lateral force perpendicular to the vertical force, the contact film 20 brings the contact 22 to be laterally displaced when receiving the lateral force, and the flexible touch screen 10 senses the lateral displacement of the contact 22.
Alternatively, in some possible embodiments of the present invention, a sealed space is formed between the flexible touch screen 10 and the contact film 20, and the contact 22 is located in the sealed space.
It is understood that the wearable module generates touch data by the flexible touch screen 10 detecting the force applied by the contacts 22 on the flexible touch screen 10. The controller can be integrated in the wearing module or externally arranged outside the wearing module. The controller is used for calculating the touch data to monitor the motion condition of the user, so that the motion condition is judged.
It can be seen that in the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the wearable module includes the flexible touch screen 10 and the contact film 20, and when one of the flexible touch screen 10 and the contact film 20 is deformed when receiving an external acting force, so that the contact 22 acts on the flexible touch screen 10, the flexible touch screen 10 detects the action exerted by the contact 22 on the flexible touch screen 10 to generate touch data. The controller judges the motion condition according to the touch data. Therefore, the wearable module can directly utilize the detection data of the flexible touch screen to judge the motion condition of the user, and the motion condition of the user can be monitored.
Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of a smart wearing article according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 5, the smart wearing article includes a motion sensing device according to the first, second, or third embodiments of the present invention, specifically, a connector 40 may be disposed on a tongue, and a controller 30, a power supply, and other elements may be disposed in a shoe. The structure of the contact film 20 and the flexible touch screen 10 is connected with a connector 40 of the tongue, and is connected with a power supply and communication interface at the shoe end through the connector 40, and is connected with a controller 30 and a power supply in the shoe. Of course, the controller 30 may also be a processor of a user terminal (such as a mobile phone, a computer, etc.), and the shoe or other intelligent wearing article is connected to the controller 30 of the user terminal through the wireless communication module to transmit the contact data to the controller 30. The controller 30 may also be integrated into the motion sensing device as desired, in which case the connector 40 is not required. In other words, the controller 30 may be located inside the motion sensing device, outside the motion sensing device and inside the smart garment, or inside the user terminal outside the smart garment. The controller 30 is configured to process the data of the contact point detected by the flexible touch screen 10, so as to determine the motion state of the user.
Preferably, the structure formed by the contact film 20 and the flexible touch screen 10 can be attached between two layers of fabric of a tongue, and the surface of the flexible touch screen 10 is close to the instep, so that when a user lifts the foot, the contact film 20 can better sense the acting force of the foot, and the flexible touch screen 10 senses the contact of the contact 22, so as to detect the foot lifting action.
It should be understood that the intelligent wearing object of the present invention includes not only shoes, but also all wearable clothes such as coats, neckerchief, trousers, hats, wristbands, leggings, shoes, etc., and also includes all deformable manners, for example, coats include shirts, long-sleeve coats, short-sleeve coats, vests, bras, etc., and trousers include shorts, trousers, underpants, etc., and the motion sensing device can also be applied to corresponding parts to detect motions of the corresponding parts, for example, the motion sensing device can be mounted at elbow joints on sleeves to detect bending or arm swinging motions of arms, the motion sensing device can be mounted at knee joints on trouser legs to detect bending or leg lifting motions of legs, and the motion frequency and amplitude of thoracic cavity and belly skin of human breathing can be detected on underwear.
For example, when the user tightens the shoelace with the tongue without lifting the foot, if there is air between the flexible touch screen 10 and the contact film 20, so there are only a few contacts touching the flexible touch screen 10, the average value of the contacts of the user tightening the shoe on a daily basis can be known through multiple measurements, and the tightening degree of the shoelace of the user and whether the user wears the shoe by himself/herself can be determined;
for another example, when the user's foot-lifting motion is slight, the flexible touch screen 10 will increase the number of contacts by a small amount, and when the user's foot-lifting motion continues to increase in intensity, the number of contacts 22 touching the flexible touch screen 10 will also continue to increase, even to the maximum number of contacts. When a customer drops his foot, the number of the contact points is reduced to a state before the foot is lifted, so that the flexible touch screen 10 detects the position of the contact points, the controller 30 can count the number of the contact points, and the controller 30 can judge whether the foot lifting action is a walking mode or a running mode and count the times of the foot lifting according to the change number and interval time of the contact points of the flexible touch screen 10 when the customer lifts his foot and drops his foot.
Further, the controller 30 may notify the user through voice, light color, image display or mobile phone application to make the user recognize and adjust his/her actions.
Therefore, according to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention, the motion sensing device is arranged in the intelligent wearing article, so that the motion of the user can be detected after the user wears the intelligent wearing article, and the user can monitor the motion condition of the user.
Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a motion detection method provided by an embodiment of the present invention, and the motion detection method is executed based on the motion sensing device shown in fig. 1, fig. 2, fig. 3, and fig. 4 and the smart wearing article shown in fig. 5, but it should be noted that the specific motion environment of the motion detection method disclosed by the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the motion sensing device and the smart wearing article.
As shown in fig. 6, the motion detection method specifically includes the following steps:
s601, the contact film 20 receives an external force to deform the contact film 20.
Alternatively, in some possible embodiments of the present invention, the external force includes a vertical force and a lateral force perpendicular to the vertical force, the contact film 20 brings the contact 22 to be laterally displaced when receiving the lateral force, and the flexible touch screen 10 senses the lateral displacement of the contact 22. It is understood that the contact film 20 can sense the acting force in different directions so that the flexible touch screen 10 senses the deviation and records the related data, thereby performing more accurate and comprehensive judgment on the external acting force to more accurately judge the motion condition of the user.
S602, the contact 22 of the contact film 20 with the flexible touch screen 10 is sensed through the flexible touch screen 10.
Alternatively, in some possible embodiments of the present invention, the flexible touch screen 10 includes a capacitive touch screen 11, and the contact 22 of the contact film 20 is grounded and forms a potential difference with the capacitive touch screen 10.
And S603, judging the motion state according to the contact data of the contact 22 and the flexible touch screen 10.
Alternatively, in some possible embodiments of the present invention, a sealed space is formed between the flexible touch screen 10 and the contact film 20, and the contacts are located in the sealed space.
Specifically, when the flexible touch screen 10 is the capacitive touch screen 11, since the contact 22 does not need to completely contact the capacitive touch screen 11, and the capacitive touch screen 11 can sense the contact, the distance between the contact 22 and the capacitive touch screen 11 can be set to a value greater than 0, so that after the capacitive touch screen 11 senses the contact of the contact 22 on the capacitive touch screen 11, the position of the contact is recorded and sent to the controller 30, and the controller 30 receives the position and counts the number of the contact at the same time, so as to accurately determine the motion condition of the user.
Alternatively, in other possible embodiments of the present invention, when the flexible touch screen 10 is a resistive touch screen 12, since the resistive touch screen 12 needs to apply a certain pressure on the resistive touch screen 12 to sense the contact, so that the distance between the contact point 22 and the capacitive touch screen 11 is 0, the resistive touch screen 12 can sense the position of the contact point 22 on the resistive touch screen and send the position to the controller 30, the controller 30 counts the number of the contact points to determine the motion condition of the user, and the controller 30 can further instruct the resistive touch screen 12 to detect the pressure of the contact film 20 on the flexible touch screen 10 to further determine the motion amplitude of the user.
Further, the controller 30 may also calculate the number and interval time of changes in the contact point of the flexible touch screen 10 to judge the user's motion in a further step, thereby making the judgment on the user more accurate. For example, in the case of the smart wearing article shown in fig. 5, the controller 30 may determine whether the foot lifting motion is a walking mode or a running mode according to the number of changes and the interval time of the contact point of the flexible touch screen 10 when the user lifts and lowers the foot.
Further, when the controller 30 determines the movement status according to the contact data of the contact 22 and the flexible touch screen 10, a sensing prompt including the position and the number of the contact may be sent to the user.
Still further, the sensory cue may also include other data, such as varying number and interval of contact points.
Specifically, the controller 30 may send a prompt to the user by means of voice, light color, image display, or a mobile phone application, so as to prompt the user about the exercise condition, for example, when the user is detected to be in improper exercise or excessive exercise, the user may be prompted by voice about the improper exercise or excessive exercise, and for example, the user may be prompted by red color to prompt the user about the improper exercise.
It is understood that in actual use, in addition to the installation method of fixing the flexible touch screen 10 to a support (such as shoes, clothes, skin, etc.) and exposing the contact film 20, the contact film 20 may be fixed to the support and the flexible touch screen 10 may be exposed. Since the flexible touch screen 10 is flexible, it can be deformed or displaced by external pressure, and thus, it can contact with the contacts of the contact film 20. Therefore, the installation mode can also realize normal use.
It can be seen that in the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the controller 30 receives an external acting force through the contact film 20 to deform the contact film 20, then the flexible touch screen 10 senses the contact of the contact 22 of the contact film 20 and the flexible touch screen 10, and finally the controller 30 determines the motion status according to the contact data of the contact 22 and the flexible touch screen 10, so as to implement monitoring and reminding of the motion of the user, so that the user can monitor the motion status of the user through the motion sensing device or the intelligent wearing object, and improve the user experience.
