Detailed Description

Embodiments of the invention will be described in greater detail below with reference to the drawings and reference numerals so that those skilled in the art can practice the invention after reading the specification.

As shown in fig. 1, the preferred embodiment of the finger control device provided by the present invention includes a glove part 1 and a plurality of finger cuff parts 2. The glove part 1 is provided with a base part 10 and five finger holes 12 a-12 e arranged on the base part 10, wherein the finger holes 12 a-12 e are respectively used for allowing five fingers of a hand to pass through; for example, the thumb passes through finger hole 12a, the index finger passes through finger hole 12b, the middle finger passes through finger hole 12c, the ring finger passes through finger hole 12d, and the little finger passes through finger hole 12e. In more detail, the glove part 1 may be made of any suitable material (such as cloth) in a glove-like form, but has only the base part 10 that can cover the back of the hand (the opposite side of the palm), and no part that covers the palm, i.e., the base part 10 is a sheet-like material corresponding to the back of the hand; the finger holes 12a to 12e are distributed on the front side of the base 10 and have different lengths, respectively, corresponding to the first knuckle lengths of five fingers of a typical person.

For example, the length of the thumb aperture 12a corresponds to the length of the first thumb section such that the first thumb section of the thumb is covered by the thumb aperture 12a after the thumb has passed through the thumb aperture 12 a; the length of the finger hole 12b corresponds to the length of the first knuckle of the index finger, so that the first knuckle of the index finger is covered by the finger hole 12b after the index finger passes through the finger hole 12 b; the length of the finger hole 12c corresponds to the length of the first knuckle of the middle finger, so that the first knuckle of the middle finger is covered by the finger hole 12c after the middle finger passes through the finger hole 12 c; the length of the finger hole 12d corresponds to the length of the first knuckle of the ring finger, so that the first knuckle of the ring finger is covered by the finger hole 12d after the ring finger passes through the finger hole 12 d; and the length of the finger hole 12e corresponds to the length of the first knuckle of the little finger such that the first knuckle of the little finger is covered by the finger hole 12e after the little finger passes through the finger hole 12e.

The first knuckle refers to the distance from the root of the finger to the first joint, and thus, after each finger passes through each of the finger holes 12a to 12e, the second knuckle and the third knuckle of each finger are exposed out of each of the finger holes 12a to 12e.

The glove part 1 corresponding to the finger holes 12 b-12 e is provided with elongated slots 13 b-13 e extending along the axial direction of the finger holes 12 b-12 e, each of the elongated slots 13 b-13 e is respectively provided with a plurality of sensors 15 b-15 e, the sensors 15 b-15 e are respectively connected with a signal transmission line 14 b-14 e, the signal transmission lines 14 b-14 e are buried in the glove part 1, in addition, the base part 10 of the glove part 1 is also provided with a connector 11 capable of being connected with a Bluetooth device (not shown in the figure), and the connector 11 is electrically connected with the signal transmission lines 14 b-14 e, so that the Bluetooth device is connected with the sensors 15 b-15 e in a signal mode.

More specifically, the sensors 15 b-15 e in each of the elongated slots 13 b-13 e are respectively disposed in pairs on opposite sides of a circuit board (not shown) and arranged in two straight lines (as shown in fig. 1), and after the circuit board is disposed in the elongated slots 13 b-13 e, the two linearly arranged sensors 15 b-15 e are disposed on opposite sides of the elongated slots 13 b-13 e. Preferably, the paired sensors 15 b-15 e are respectively an infrared transmitter and an infrared receiver, and the infrared rays emitted by the infrared transmitter are received by the corresponding infrared receiver to generate signals, whereas no signals are generated.

The invention provides four fingerstall parts 2 b-2 e for passing through an index finger, a middle finger, a ring finger and a little finger respectively, wherein one end part of each fingerstall part 2 b-2 e is axially provided with a sensing rod 21 b-21 e with proper length in an extending way, and the sensing rods 21 b-21 e can be respectively accommodated between two rows of sensors 15 b-15 e in long grooves 13 b-13 e.

The use mode of the invention is that the Bluetooth device is connected with the joint 11 through a transmission line, then the glove part 1 is worn on the back of the hand of a user, and the finger sleeve part 2 is worn on the finger (shown in fig. 2), at the moment, the induction rods 21 b-21 e can swing along with the movement of the finger of the user (shown in fig. 3-5), and then the induction rods 21 b-21 e enter and exit the long grooves 13 b-13 e at various angles, so that the sensors 15 b-15 e in the long grooves 13 b-13 e respectively induce signals according to the swinging angles of the induction rods 21 b-21 e, and the generated signals are transmitted to the Bluetooth device connected with the joint 11 through the signal transmission lines 14 b-14 e so as to control the operation of electronic products matched with the Bluetooth device.

Fig. 3 to 5 illustrate an example in which glove part 1 is worn on the hand and finger cuff part 2b is worn on the index finger, but this embodiment is also applicable to an embodiment in which finger cuff parts 2c to 2e are worn on the middle finger, ring finger, and little finger. For example, as shown in fig. 3, when the finger is in a straight state, the sensing rod 21b is completely accommodated in the long groove 13b by being pulled by the finger sleeve part 2b, so that each sensor 15b senses the whole length of the sensing rod 21b, and therefore, the microcomputer calculates and judges that the finger is in a straight state to generate a signal, and the signal is transmitted to the bluetooth device connected with the connector 11 through the signal transmission line 14b to control the operation of an electronic product matched with the bluetooth device.

As shown in fig. 4, when the finger is slightly bent, the sensing rod 21b is slightly swung away from the long groove 13b by being pulled by the finger sleeve part 2b, and at this time, a part of the sensor 15b does not sense the sensing rod 21b, but only a part of the length of the sensing rod 21b is sensed, so that the finger is judged to be in a slightly bent state by the calculation of the microcomputer to generate a signal, and the signal is transmitted to the bluetooth device connected with the connector 11 through the signal transmission line 14b to control the operation of the electronic product matched with the bluetooth device.

As shown in fig. 5, when the finger is bent further, the sensing rod 21b swings away from the long groove 13b by pulling the finger stall 2b, and then more sensors 15b do not sense the sensing rod 21b, but only a smaller part of the length of the sensing rod 21b is sensed, so that the microcomputer calculates and judges that the finger is in a larger bending state to generate a signal, and the signal is transmitted to the bluetooth device connected with the connector 11 through the signal transmission line 14b to control the operation of the electronic product matched with the bluetooth device.

Therefore, by means of the finger control device provided by the invention, a user can control the actions or functions of the paired electronic devices by means of finger actions, and the comfortable human-computer combined experience is realized.

The above description is for the purpose of illustrating the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way, but rather, it is intended to cover all modifications or variations of the present invention which fall within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
