The processing unit is arranged on the wrist part and is positioned on one side of the palm center of the glove body, is respectively and electrically connected with the plurality of light emitting devices and the camera unit, and receives and obtains the position change track of each light emitting device according to the dynamic image.

It should be explained that in this application we refer to the finger joint closest to the fingertip as a first joint and the finger joint adjacent to the first joint as the second joint. In addition, the light emitting device 2 and the glove body 1 may be connected by an adhesive.
The processing unit 4 is disposed on the wrist portion 12 and is located at the palm side of the glove body 1. Specifically, the processing unit 4 is a single-chip microcomputer or a central processing unit with image analysis processing capability, and the processing unit 4 can be connected to the wrist portion 12 of the glove body 1 through an adhesive. In addition, the processing unit 4 is electrically connected with 14 light emitting devices 2 through wires built in the glove body 1.
The camera unit 3 is located at one side of the palm center of the glove body 1, and the lens of the camera unit 3 faces to one side where the five fingers are located. Specifically, the image capturing unit 3 may employ a high-performance CMOS camera. The image capturing unit 3 is electrically connected with the processing unit 4, and is directly mounted on one side of the processing unit 4 facing the five-finger part, so that the lens of the image capturing unit 3 captures 14 light emitting devices 2 arranged on the five-finger part.
In the working state, the user of the image capturing unit 3 captures dynamic images of 14 light emitting devices 2, and the processing unit 4 receives and obtains the position change track of each light emitting device 2 according to the dynamic images.
The following describes a method of using the finger bending degree detecting apparatus to measure the degree of bending of a user's finger. The method comprises the following steps:
1) Wearing the detection device of the bending degree of the finger (see fig. 2);
2) The processing unit 4 controls the camera unit 3 to start;
3) The processing unit 4 controls the plurality of the light emitting devices 2 to be sequentially lightened, and indexes the plurality of the light emitting devices 2 according to the sequence of the lightening of the plurality of the light emitting devices 2;
4) The glove body 1 moves under the wearing operation;
5) The camera unit 3 shoots dynamic images formed by the movement of the plurality of the light emitting devices 2 along with the glove body 1;
6) The processing unit 4 receives and derives the position change track of each light emitting device 2 according to the dynamic image, and sends the position change track to a computer with data analysis processing capability in a wired or wireless mode. And finally obtaining the bending degree of the fingers of the user through the computer.
In summary, with the above-mentioned finger bending degree detection device, after the user wears the glove body 1, the user's fingers will drive the five-finger portion of the glove body 1 to move when moving, the light emitting devices 2 disposed on the five-finger portion will also move along with the movement, the camera unit 3 may capture a moving image of each of the light emitting devices 2, and the processing unit 4 receives and obtains a position change track of each of the light emitting devices 2 according to the moving image. Subsequently, the processing unit 4 may transmit the position change trajectory to a computer which then has data analysis processing capabilities, thereby deriving the degree of finger bending of the user. Since the image capturing unit 3 can capture the fine movement of the light emitting device 2 in real time, the manner of capturing the bending variation of the user's finger by capturing the dynamic image of the light emitting device 2 by the image capturing unit 3 is more accurate and can capture the fine bending motion of the user's finger than the manner of capturing the bending variation of the user's finger by the bending sensor used in the prior art.
It is mentioned that the above measurement process may further comprise the following steps: the processing unit 4 controls the plurality of light emitting devices 2 which disappear in the recording range of the image capturing unit 3 and are again recorded by the image capturing unit 3 to flash in sequence. In this way, when the light emitting device 2 is blocked during the measurement process, and the light emitting device 2 disappears in the picture recorded by the image capturing unit 3, the light emitting devices 2 re-entering the recorded picture of the image capturing unit 3 will flash in sequence under the control of the processing unit 4, so as to confirm the index information of each light emitting device 2 and prevent confusion.
In order to ensure that the image capturing unit 3 can effectively distinguish two light emitting devices 2 on the same finger cuff, which are closer to each other, in the above measurement process, in this embodiment, the light emitting devices 2 on the small finger cuff 131, which are respectively located on the upper side of the second joint of the small finger cuff 131 and the lower side of the second joint of the small finger cuff 131, have different light emitting colors; the 2 light emitting devices 2 on the ring finger cuff 132 respectively positioned at the upper side of the second joint of the ring finger cuff 132 and the lower side of the second joint of the ring finger cuff 132 have different light emitting colors; the 2 light emitting devices 2 on the middle finger cuff 133, which are respectively located at the upper side of the second joint of the middle finger cuff 133 and the lower side of the second joint of the middle finger cuff 133, have different light emitting colors; the 2 light emitting devices 2 on the index finger grip 134, which are respectively positioned at the upper side of the second joint of the index finger grip 134, and the lower side of the second joint of the index finger grip 134, are different in light emitting color. Specifically, the light emitting color of the light emitting device 2 on the upper side of the second joint on each finger cuff is set to green, and the light emitting color of the light emitting device 2 on the lower side of the second joint is set to red.
In order to ensure that the camera unit 3 can effectively measure the fingertip positions of the little finger cuff 131, the ring finger cuff 132, the middle finger cuff 133, the index finger cuff 134, and the thumb cuff 135 having the largest movable ranges.
