Referring to fig. 1 to 3, in an embodiment of the present invention, an intelligent finger ring 10 includes:

a finger ring body 11;

the elastic wave detection control assembly comprises an elastic wave sensor 12 and a controller which are electrically connected, wherein the elastic wave sensor 12 is arranged on the ring body 11, and the controller is used for identifying touch operation received by the ring body 11 according to an electric signal generated by the elastic wave sensor 12; and

and the controller is in wireless connection with the intelligent glasses through the wireless communication module so as to control the working state of the intelligent glasses according to touch operation.

Without loss of generality, an elastic wave is a wave that propagates over a rigid structure (i.e., a hard object), and the elastic wave sensor 12 is capable of converting a detected elastic wave signal into an electrical signal. The acoustic wave sensor 12 has many advantages over other sensors, such as the acoustic wave sensor 12 being immune to the conductivity of the material, supporting both non-conductive materials (e.g., glass, plastic, or wood) and conductive materials (e.g., metal or graphene); for example, the elastic wave sensor 12 has low power consumption, no radiation and strong anti-interference capability. Specifically, the elastic wave sensor 12 includes, but is not limited to, piezoelectric sensors including, but not limited to, piezoelectric ceramics, piezoelectric crystals, and piezoelectric films, and strain sensors.

Specifically, the smart ring 10 generally includes a plurality of rigid structural members, such as a ring body 11, a circuit board provided in the ring body 11, etc., which may generate minute waves when a user performs a touch operation on the ring body 11, the waves propagate on the smart ring 10 in the form of elastic waves and are captured by the elastic wave sensor 12, and then the elastic wave sensor 12 converts the captured elastic wave signals into electrical signals and transmits the electrical signals to the controller, which can recognize the touch operation of the user and remotely control the smart glasses to perform corresponding operation instructions through the wireless communication module. It will be appreciated that the elastic wave generated by the touch operation can still be captured by the elastic wave sensor 12 after traveling a long distance on the smart ring 10, so that the touch operation area sensed by the elastic wave sensor 12 can cover substantially the entire ring body 11.

According to the technical scheme, the elastic wave detection control assembly is adopted to replace a traditional mechanical key or a capacitive touch key, so that the coverage area of a inductable area on the intelligent ring 10 can be increased, and a user can detect and identify any area of the ring body 11 only by touching, so that the user can perform one-hand operation to knock or slide even if the elastic wave sensor 12 is not positioned at the finger belly position, the man-machine interaction convenience of the intelligent ring is further improved, and the convenience of remotely controlling the intelligent glasses through the intelligent ring is further improved. And secondly, various touch operations, such as single click, double click or sliding, are accurately identified through the change of the elastic wave signals, so that the design of the touch operations and the degree of freedom of the operation can be enriched, and the use flexibility of the intelligent finger ring is further improved. Secondly, the elastic wave sensor 12 can be suitable for rigid structural members of conductive or nonconductive materials, so that the application limitation on the materials of the intelligent finger ring 10 can be avoided, and the technical scheme is wide in application range.

It should be noted that, the smart glasses in the embodiments of the present invention include, but are not limited to, VR (Virtual Reality) glasses, AR (Augmented Reality ), MR (Mediated Reality) glasses, or bluetooth audio glasses. Taking AR glasses as an example, controlling the working state of the intelligent glasses according to touch operation, including but not limited to controlling the working state of different functional components of the intelligent glasses and controlling different functional applications of the intelligent glasses, wherein the functional applications comprise control of application programs, such as switching different interfaces on the same application program or switching different application programs; functional components include, but are not limited to, speakers, cameras, and optomachines, such as clicking to control the speaker off, double clicking to control the speaker on, sliding to adjust the volume of the speaker, etc. It can be understood that the technical scheme of the invention does not specifically limit the corresponding relation between the touch operation and the working state, and a person skilled in the art can perform any combination adjustment on the touch operation and the working state according to actual design requirements.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, it is optionally set that only when the intensity value of the electric signal generated by the elastic wave sensor 12 is greater than or equal to the first preset intensity value, the corresponding electric signal is determined to be a valid electric signal and the next control command is triggered. In this way, the risk of false triggering, such as vibration sensed by the elastic wave sensor 12 when a fist making motion accidentally touches the intelligent finger ring 10, can be reduced. It will be appreciated that a person skilled in the art may set a specific first preset intensity value according to the product structure of the smart ring 10 and the layout of the acoustic wave sensor 12.

Referring to fig. 3, in some embodiments, a mounting cavity is disposed in the finger ring body 11, and the elastic wave sensor 12 is fixedly disposed on a cavity wall surface of the mounting cavity. In this way, the elastic wave sensor 12 can be well protected, and the elastic wave sensor 12 can capture an elastic wave signal with higher energy, so as to improve the response sensitivity to touch operation. In this embodiment, the elastic wave sensor 12 is optionally adhered to the wall surface of the installation cavity through the adhesive layer structure 15, so as to facilitate the installation and fixing of the elastic wave sensor 12.

Of course, in other embodiments, the elastic wave sensor 12 may be disposed on other rigid structures, for example, referring to fig. 4, the elastic wave sensor 12 is disposed on a circuit board, and the circuit board is fixedly disposed on a wall surface of the mounting cavity. Specifically, in this embodiment, the circuit board includes a hard circuit board 13 provided with a controller, and a flexible circuit board 14 electrically connected to the hard circuit board 13, the elastic wave sensor 12 is disposed on the flexible circuit board 14, and the flexible circuit board 14 is fixedly disposed on a wall surface of the mounting cavity. Of course, referring to fig. 5, in other embodiments, the circuit board may be configured as a hard circuit board 13, the controller and the elastic wave sensor 12 are both disposed on the hard circuit board 13, and the hard circuit board 13 is fixedly disposed on the wall surface of the mounting cavity.

Referring to fig. 1, in some embodiments, the intelligent finger ring 10 further includes a power supply battery 16 disposed on the finger ring body 11, and the power supply battery 16 is electrically connected with the controller, so that the intelligent finger ring 10 can get rid of the constraint of the power cord, thereby being convenient for the user to wear. Optionally, in this embodiment, the power supply battery 16 is configured as a rechargeable battery. Of course, in other embodiments, the power supply of the power consumption elements such as the elastic wave sensor 12 and the controller may be realized through a charging interface or a power line instead of the power supply battery 16.

In some embodiments, the power cells 16 are disposed within the mounting cavity, and the power cells 16 are spaced apart from the acoustic wave sensor 12 in the circumferential direction of the finger ring body 11. In this way, the space utilization rate of the installation cavity can be fully exerted, and the assembly of the power supply battery 16 and the elastic wave sensor 12 is facilitated. Alternatively, the power supply battery 16 may have an arc shape in this embodiment, so that the power supply battery is large in size and has a larger energy storage capacity. However, the present design is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, the ring body 11 may be in an open ring shape, and two ends of the power supply battery 16 are abutted with two open ends of the ring body 11, so that the intelligent ring 10 forms a closed ring shape.

In some embodiments, the elastic wave sensor 12 is provided in plurality, and the plurality of elastic wave sensors 12 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the ring body 11. Alternatively, the elastic wave sensor 12 may be configured with two, three or more, and those skilled in the art may determine the number and positions of the elastic wave sensors 12 according to the design requirements. In this way, the sliding direction can be identified more quickly and accurately, and the finger ring body 11 can be provided with a plurality of touch operation sensing areas, so that the combination modes of the corresponding relation between the touch operation and the working state are enriched, and richer and more complex man-machine interaction is realized. Of course, in other embodiments, it is also possible that the elastic wave sensor 12 is provided with one.

It should be noted that, only one elastic wave sensor 12 is provided to sense the sliding operation, for example, the finger ring body 11 has a continuous plane, the elastic wave sensor 12 is provided at one end of the continuous plane, if a finger slides from one end of the continuous plane to the other end, the intensity of the elastic wave captured by the elastic wave sensor 12 is gradually increased, and an electric signal with gradually increased intensity is generated; if the finger slides from the other end of the continuous plane to one end, the intensity of the elastic wave captured by the elastic wave sensor 12 is gradually reduced, and an electric signal with gradually reduced intensity is generated; in this way, the controller can recognize the sliding direction based on the intensity change of the electric signal generated by the elastic wave sensor 12.

When the elastic wave sensor 12 is provided in plurality, the sliding direction may be determined by the time sequence of the electric signals of the plurality of elastic wave sensors 12, for example, in some embodiments, the elastic wave sensor 12 includes a first elastic wave sensor 12 and a second elastic wave sensor 12 that are disposed at intervals along the circumferential direction of the finger ring body 11, the respective start signal and end signal of the first electric signal of the first elastic wave sensor 12 and the second electric signal of the second elastic wave sensor 12 are acquired first, and then the direction of the sliding that the finger ring body 11 is subjected to is identified according to the time sequence, the time difference, and/or the intensity difference between the start signal of the first electric signal and the start signal of the second electric signal, and the time sequence, the time difference, and/or the intensity difference between the end signal of the first electric signal and the end signal of the second electric signal.

Specifically, in some embodiments, when the time sequence of the start signal of the first electrical signal is before the start signal of the second electrical signal and the time sequence of the last signal of the first electrical signal is after the last signal of the second electrical signal, then it is determined that the ring body is subject to sliding in the first direction; otherwise, judging that the finger ring body is subjected to sliding along a second direction; the second direction is opposite to the first direction. In other embodiments, it may be further determined that the finger ring body is subject to sliding along the first direction if the time difference between the start signal of the first electrical signal and the start signal of the second electrical signal is a positive time difference and the time difference between the last signal of the second electrical signal and the last signal of the first electrical signal is a positive time difference; otherwise, the finger ring body is judged to be subjected to sliding along the second direction. In still other embodiments, it may be that the difference between the intensities of the start signal of the first electrical signal and the start signal of the second electrical signal is a positive difference, and the difference between the intensities of the last signal of the second electrical signal and the last signal of the first electrical signal is a positive difference, then it is determined that the ring body is subject to sliding along the first direction; otherwise, the finger ring body is judged to be subjected to sliding along the second direction. Of course, in other embodiments, the sliding direction may be identified by any combination of determining the time sequence, the time difference, and the intensity difference.

The finger ring body 11 has an inner end face and an outer end face, the inner end face is close to the palm center in the forward wearing posture, and the inner end face is far from the palm center in the reverse wearing posture; when the finger ring body 11 itself is used as a reference, the finger ring body 11 has two sliding directions, i.e., clockwise sliding and counterclockwise sliding, when viewed in a direction from the outer end face to the inner end face, and corresponds to the first direction and the second direction, for example, the first direction may be set to be clockwise, and the second direction may be set to be counterclockwise.

Further, when the subjective view angle of the user is taken as a reference basis, the left hand and the right hand are set to be respectively positioned at the left side and the right side of the trunk, the inward sliding means sliding along the direction close to the center of the trunk of the user, and the outward sliding means sliding along the direction far from the center of the trunk. Specifically, the intelligent finger ring 10 slides from the left side to the right side of the finger belly when worn on the left hand, is arranged in the same direction as the direction of sliding from the right side to the left side of the finger belly when worn on the right hand, and is configured to slide inward; the right side of the finger pad slides to the left side when the intelligent finger ring 10 is worn on the left hand, is arranged in the same direction as the left side of the finger pad slides to the right side when the intelligent finger ring 10 is worn on the right hand, and is configured to slide outwards. It will be appreciated that if the user is in a habit of sliding inwardly or outwardly during one-handed operation, the user will slide the smart ring 10 according to the habit, no matter whether he wears the smart ring 10 on the left or right hand.

It will be appreciated that the user will more easily understand and memorize the operation habits, including inward sliding and outward sliding, which may be different from the sliding direction sensed by the finger ring body 11 due to the influence of the wearing position (left-hand wearing or right-hand wearing) and the wearing posture (forward wearing posture or reverse wearing posture). For example, when the ring body 11 is being worn on the left hand, it slides inwardly (for the user), the ring body 11 senses counterclockwise sliding (for the ring body 11), and when the ring body 11 is being worn on the right hand, it slides inwardly, the ring body 11 senses clockwise sliding; and when the finger ring body 11 is reversely worn on the left hand, the finger ring body 11 slides inwards, the finger ring body 11 senses clockwise sliding, and when the finger ring body 11 is reversely worn on the right hand, the finger ring body 11 senses anticlockwise sliding.

Therefore, in order to accurately recognize the actual sliding operation intention of the user in consideration of the operation habit of the user, in some embodiments, the operation modes of the controller include a left-hand mode and a right-hand mode, and the user may wear the intelligent finger ring 10 on the left-hand or the right-hand as appropriate, and select the corresponding left-hand mode or the right-hand mode. For example, a clockwise slip on the smart ring 10 in the right hand mode would be determined to be an inward slip, and a counterclockwise slip on the smart ring 10 in the left hand mode would be determined to be an inward slip to control the smart glasses to perform the same instruction, for example, to control the volume reduction of the smart glasses; a counter-clockwise slip on the smart ring 10 in the right hand mode would be determined to be an outward slip and a clockwise slip on the smart ring 10 in the left hand mode would also be determined to be an outward slip to control the smart glasses to execute the same instructions, e.g., both for controlling the volume increase of the smart glasses. Therefore, the control logic can be conveniently memorized by the user, and the use habit of one-hand operation is more met. Of course, in other embodiments, the left and right hand modes may not be distinguished, but only one default mode, e.g., default right hand mode and provide that the user can only wear in the right hand for use.

Specifically, the selection setting of the left hand mode or the right hand mode may be remotely set through the smart glasses, for example, two option keys are correspondingly provided on the smart glasses, and the user may remotely control the smart finger ring 10 to enter the left hand mode or the right hand mode through the option keys. Of course, in other embodiments, the switching between the left-hand mode and the right-hand mode may be achieved by identifying a touch operation on the intelligent finger ring 10, for example, the intelligent finger ring 10 is turned on to default right-hand mode, if a long press of the user on the intelligent finger ring 10 is detected, the switching is performed to the left-hand mode, if a long press operation is detected again, the switching is performed to the right-hand mode, and so on.

In order to be able to more accurately recognize the actual sliding operation intention of the user, in some embodiments, a guide mark 17 for indicating the wearing direction is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the finger ring body 11, considering that the sliding direction is also affected by the wearing state of the intelligent finger ring 10. Specifically, the guide mark 17 is a linear mark provided on one side of the outer peripheral surface of the ring body 11 in the axial direction of the ring body 11; alternatively, the guide mark 17 is a guide arrow or a guide triangle or a guide letter provided on the outer peripheral surface of the ring body 11. Therefore, the wearing mode of the user can be guided and standardized through the guide mark 17, so that the intelligent finger ring 10 can be in the forward wearing posture no matter in the left hand or the right hand, and the control logic of the elastic wave detection control assembly can be simplified and the response speed of the elastic wave detection control assembly can be improved on the premise of accurately identifying the touch operation. Of course, in other embodiments, other forms of guide marks 17 are also possible.

Further, it is considered that the user may not be able to wear the guide mark 17 in a standard manner when he cannot see the guide mark 17 clearly in a special situation such as a dimly lit environment and when he is in an urgent use. Thus, in some embodiments, the smart ring 10 further includes a wear direction detection device, which includes a first detection element and a second detection element disposed on an inner side surface of the ring body 11, and the first detection element and the second detection element are disposed at intervals along an axial direction of the ring body 11, and are electrically connected to the controller. As such, the wearing direction of the intelligent finger ring 10 is determined by the triggering sequence of the first detection element and the second detection element, and the wearing direction includes a first axial direction and a second axial direction of the finger ring body 11, where the first axial direction is opposite to the second axial direction, for example, the first axial direction is a direction from the outer end face to the inner end face, and the second axial direction is a direction from the inner end face to the outer end face; the wearing direction is the forward wearing posture when the first axial direction is the wearing direction, and the reverse wearing posture when the wearing direction is the second axial direction is the wearing direction. When the first detection element is triggered before the second detection element, judging that the wearing direction is a first axial direction; when the second detection element is triggered before the first detection element, the wearing direction is judged to be the second axis.

Specifically, in some embodiments, the first detection element and the second detection element are each configured as a capacitive sensor or a pressure sensor. Therefore, the first detection element and the second detection element can be triggered in time in the wearing process, the triggering sensitivity is improved, and the structure is simple and easy to realize. Of course, in other embodiments, the first detection element and/or the second detection element may also be configured as a laser sensor, an infrared sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, or the like.

Referring to fig. 7, in a first embodiment of the intelligent finger ring-based interaction method provided by the invention, the intelligent finger ring-based interaction method includes steps S10, S20 and S30, specifically as follows:

step S10: and acquiring an elastic wave signal through an elastic wave sensor arranged on the finger ring body of the intelligent finger ring and generating an electric signal.

Specifically, intelligent ring includes the ring body, and locates the elastic wave detection control assembly of ring body, and the elastic wave detection control assembly includes elastic wave sensor and the controller that are connected mutually, and the elastic wave sensor is located the ring body, can make its minute fluctuation that produces when the user touches the operation on the ring body, and this fluctuation propagates on the ring body and is caught by the elastic wave sensor with the form of elastic wave, then the elastic wave sensor converts the elastic wave signal that catches into the electrical signal and transmits for the controller.

It can be appreciated that after the elastic wave generated by the touch operation propagates a long distance on the intelligent finger ring, the elastic wave can still be captured by the elastic wave sensor, so that the touch operation area sensed by the elastic wave sensor can cover substantially the whole finger ring body.

Step S20: and identifying touch operation received by the ring body according to the electric signal.

In this embodiment, the touch operation includes a single click, double click, and/or sliding, wherein the sliding may be between different positions on the same rigid structure, such as sliding from one end of the ring body to the other end thereof; the intelligent ring may also be configured to slide from one of the plurality of rigid structural members to the other, for example, in an embodiment in which the ring body is in an open ring shape and two ends of the power supply battery are in butt joint with two open ends of the ring body, so that the intelligent ring forms a closed ring shape, the power supply battery slides to the ring body or the ring body slides to the power supply battery.

Specifically, optionally, the touch operation to which the finger ring body is subjected is identified according to the number of the electrical signals in the first time interval. For example, it is determined whether the number of the electrical signals acquired in the first time interval is 1 or 2; when the number of the electrical signals is 1, determining that the touch operation is a click; when the number of the electric signals is 2, the touch operation is determined to be double-click, and so on. It should be noted that, to avoid misjudgment, in this embodiment, the double click is optionally judged to be valid only when the time interval between the two electrical signals is greater than the second time interval; the second time interval is less than the first time interval. The first time interval and the second time interval may be set by those skilled in the art according to design experience, and thus the present application is not specifically limited herein.

Step S30: and sending a control instruction to the intelligent glasses which are in wireless connection with the intelligent ring according to the touch operation.

In this embodiment, the smart glasses include, but are not limited to, VR (Virtual Reality) glasses, AR (Augmented Reality ), MR (Mediated Reality) glasses, or bluetooth audio glasses. Taking AR glasses as an example, sending control instructions to the intelligent glasses according to touch operation, including but not limited to controlling the working states of different functional components of the intelligent glasses and controlling different functional applications of the intelligent glasses, wherein the functional applications comprise control of application programs, such as switching different interfaces on the same application program or switching different application programs; features include, but are not limited to, speakers, cameras, and optotypes, such as clicking on a smart ring to control the speaker to turn off, double clicking to control the speaker to turn on, sliding to adjust the volume of the speaker, etc. It can be understood that the technical scheme of the invention does not specifically limit the corresponding relation between the touch operation and the control instruction, and a person skilled in the art can perform any combination adjustment on the touch operation and the control instruction according to actual design requirements.

In a second embodiment of the interaction method based on an intelligent finger ring according to the present invention, based on the first embodiment of the interaction method based on an intelligent finger ring, the elastic wave sensor includes a first elastic wave sensor and a second elastic wave sensor that are disposed at intervals along a circumferential direction of the finger ring body, and the step of identifying the touch operation suffered by the finger ring body according to the electrical signal includes steps S21 and S22, specifically as follows:

step S21: and acquiring a start signal and a final signal of a first electric signal of the first elastic wave sensor and a second electric signal of the second elastic wave sensor respectively.

Specifically, when a user knocks or slides on the ring body, the generated elastic wave signal can be stored for a certain period of time on the ring body and is provided with a start signal and a last signal on a time axis, when the elastic wave sensor receives the start elastic wave signal, a corresponding start electric signal is generated, and when the elastic wave sensor receives the last elastic wave signal, a corresponding last electric signal is generated.

Step S22: and identifying the sliding direction of the finger ring body according to the time sequence, the time difference and/or the intensity difference between the starting signal of the first electric signal and the starting signal of the second electric signal and the time sequence, the time difference and/or the intensity difference between the last signal of the first electric signal and the last signal of the second electric signal.

Specifically, in some embodiments, when the time sequence of the start signal of the first electrical signal is before the start signal of the second electrical signal and the time sequence of the last signal of the first electrical signal is after the last signal of the second electrical signal, then it is determined that the ring body is subject to sliding in the first direction; otherwise, judging that the finger ring body is subjected to sliding along a second direction; the second direction is opposite to the first direction.

In other embodiments, it may be further determined that the ring body is subject to sliding along the first direction when the time difference between the start signal of the first electrical signal and the start signal of the second electrical signal is a positive time difference and the time difference between the last signal of the second electrical signal and the last signal of the first electrical signal is a positive time difference; otherwise, the finger ring body is judged to be subjected to sliding along the second direction.

In still other embodiments, it may be further determined that the ring body is subject to sliding along the first direction when the intensity difference between the start signal of the first electrical signal and the start signal of the second electrical signal is a positive intensity difference and the intensity difference between the last signal of the second electrical signal and the last signal of the first electrical signal is a positive intensity difference; otherwise, the finger ring body is judged to be subjected to sliding along the second direction.

Of course, in other embodiments, the sliding direction may be identified by any combination of determining the time sequence, the time difference, and the intensity difference.

Further alternatively, it is set that the corresponding electrical signal is determined to be a valid electrical signal only when the intensity value of the electrical signal is greater than or equal to the first preset intensity value, and only the valid electrical signal is compared in intensity difference, time sequence, and time difference. Therefore, the risk of false triggering can be reduced, for example, when the fist-making action accidentally touches the intelligent finger ring, the vibration sensed by the elastic wave sensor can be reduced. It can be appreciated that a person skilled in the art can specifically set the first preset intensity value according to the product structures of different intelligent finger rings and the layout modes of the elastic wave sensors.

In a third embodiment of the intelligent finger ring based interaction method of the present invention, based on the second embodiment of the intelligent finger ring based interaction method, the intelligent finger ring based interaction method further includes step S40, specifically including:

step S40: the wearing direction of the intelligent ring is detected through a wearing direction detection device arranged on the ring body.

In particular, the wearing direction includes a first axial direction and a second axial direction of the ring body, the first axial direction being opposite to the second axial direction, for example, the first axial direction may be a direction from an outer end surface of the ring body toward an inner end surface thereof, and the second axial direction may be a direction from the inner end surface of the ring body toward an outer end surface thereof; the wearing direction is the first axial direction, namely the forward wearing posture, and the inner end surface of the ring body is close to the palm; and when the wearing direction is the second axial direction, the wearing gesture is the reverse wearing gesture, and the inner end surface of the finger ring body is far away from the palm center. Of course, in other embodiments, the first axial direction may be a direction from the inner end face of the ring body toward the outer end face thereof, and the second axial direction may be a direction from the outer end face of the ring body toward the inner end face thereof.

When the finger ring body is used as a reference, the finger ring body has two sliding directions of clockwise sliding and anticlockwise sliding when seen along the first axial direction, and corresponds to the first direction and the second direction, for example, the first direction can be set to be clockwise, and the second direction can be set to be anticlockwise. If the interaction program default setting based on the intelligent ring adopts the first axial wearing intelligent ring, and the first control instruction is generated when clockwise sliding is sensed, the second control instruction is generated when anticlockwise sliding is sensed, on the basis, when the user wears the intelligent ring according to the second axial, the user hopes to generate the sliding operation of the first control instruction, and the intelligent ring is enabled to sense anticlockwise sliding to generate the second control instruction, so that the intelligent glasses cannot accurately respond to the real intention of the user. Therefore, the wearing direction is identified and used as one of the bases for judging the user operation, so that accuracy for identifying the actual operation intention of the user is improved, and convenience and accuracy in use of the intelligent finger ring are further improved.

Of course, in other embodiments, the wearing direction detection device may not be provided, for example, to instruct the wearing mode of the user, so that the user must wear the intelligent finger ring according to the first axial direction (i.e. the forward wearing posture); or prompting the user to carry out necessary action adjustment on the touch operation according to the different wearing postures.

In a fourth embodiment of the interaction method based on an intelligent finger ring according to the third embodiment of the interaction method based on an intelligent finger ring, the wearing direction detection device includes a first detection element and a second detection element disposed on an inner side surface of the finger ring body, and the first detection element and the second detection element are disposed at intervals along an axial direction of the finger ring body; the step of detecting the wearing direction of the intelligent ring through the wearing direction detecting device configured on the ring body includes steps S41, S42 and S43, specifically as follows:

step S41: acquiring a first trigger signal of the first detection element and a second trigger signal of the second detection element;

step S42: when the time sequence of the first trigger signal is positioned before the time sequence of the second trigger signal, judging that the wearing direction is a first axial direction;

step S43: and when the time sequence of the first trigger signal is positioned behind the time sequence of the second trigger signal, judging that the wearing direction is a second axial direction, wherein the second axial direction is opposite to the first axial direction.

In this embodiment, the ring body has opposite inner side and outer side, when the intelligent ring is worn on the finger, the inner side is close to the finger and the outer side is far away from the finger, the first detecting element is close to the inner end of the ring body, and the second detecting element is close to the outer end of the ring body. When the user wears the intelligent finger ring according to the first axial direction, the inner end face of the finger ring body is sleeved with the finger, the first detection element is firstly close to the finger to generate a first trigger signal, and then when the outer end face of the finger ring body is sleeved with the finger, the second detection element is close to the finger to generate a second trigger signal. Therefore, the wearing direction can be accurately identified through the sequence of the triggering time of the first detection element and the second detection element, and the structure is simple and easy to realize. Of course, in other embodiments, the inner end surface and the outer end surface of the ring body may be provided with distance measuring sensors, when the user wears the intelligent ring in the first axial direction, the distance measuring sensors on the inner end surface can detect the distance from the inner end surface to the root (i.e. the palm edge) of the finger, the distance gradually decreases as the intelligent ring is gradually sleeved into the finger, and meanwhile, the distance measuring sensors on the outer end surface have no effective signal or the measured distance value does not change obviously, so that the wearing direction can be determined to be the first axial direction; and otherwise, judging the wearing direction as a second axis.

And particularly, the first detection element and the second detection element are both configured as a capacitance sensor or a pressure sensor, so that the first detection element and the second detection element can be triggered in time in the wearing process, the triggering sensitivity is improved, and the structure is simple and easy to realize. Of course, in other embodiments, the first detection element and/or the second detection element may also be configured as a laser sensor, an infrared sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, or the like.

When the subjective view angle of the user is taken as a reference, the left hand and the right hand are set to be respectively positioned at the left side and the right side of the trunk, the inward sliding means sliding along the direction close to the center of the trunk of the user, and the outward sliding means sliding along the direction far from the center of the trunk. Specifically, the intelligent finger ring slides from the left side to the right side of the finger belly when worn on the left hand, is arranged in the same direction as the direction of sliding from the right side to the left side of the finger belly when worn on the right hand, and is configured to slide inwards; the intelligent finger ring slides from the right side to the left side of the finger belly when worn on the left hand, is arranged in the same direction as the direction of sliding from the left side to the right side of the finger belly when worn on the right hand, and is configured to slide outwards. It can be appreciated that if the user is used to slide inward or outward during one-hand operation, the user wears the intelligent finger ring on the left hand or the right hand, and then slides on the intelligent finger ring according to the habit.

It will be appreciated that the user is more likely to understand and memorize the operating habits, including inward sliding and outward sliding, which may be different from the sliding direction sensed by the finger ring body due to the influence of the wearing position (left-hand wearing or right-hand wearing) and the wearing posture (forward wearing posture or reverse wearing posture). For example, the ring body slides inwardly (for a user) when it is being worn on the left hand, counter-clockwise (for the ring body), and clockwise when it is being worn on the right hand; the finger ring body slides inwards when being reversely worn on the left hand, the finger ring body senses clockwise sliding, and the finger ring body senses anticlockwise sliding when being reversely worn on the right hand.

Therefore, in order to further accurately identify the actual sliding operation intention of the user in consideration of the operation habit of the user, in some embodiments, the working modes of the controller include a left-hand mode and a right-hand mode, and the user can wear the intelligent finger ring on the left-hand or the right-hand as the case may be and select the corresponding left-hand mode or the right-hand mode. For example, a clockwise slip on the smart ring in the right hand mode would be determined to be an inward slip, and a counterclockwise slip on the smart ring in the left hand mode would also be determined to be an inward slip to control the smart glasses to perform the same instruction, e.g., to control the volume reduction of the smart glasses; a counter-clockwise slip on the intelligent finger ring in the right hand mode would be determined to be an outward slip and a clockwise slip on the intelligent finger ring in the left hand mode would also be determined to be an outward slip to control the intelligent glasses to execute the same instructions, e.g., both for controlling the volume increase of the intelligent glasses. Therefore, the control logic can be conveniently memorized by the user, and the use habit of one-hand operation is more met. Of course, in other embodiments, the left and right hand modes may not be distinguished, but only one default mode, e.g., default right hand mode and provide that the user can only wear in the right hand for use.

Specifically, the selection setting of the left hand mode or the right hand mode can be remotely set through the intelligent glasses, for example, two option keys are correspondingly arranged on the intelligent glasses, and a user can remotely control the intelligent finger ring to enter the left hand mode or the right hand mode through the option keys. Of course, in other embodiments, the switching between the left-hand mode and the right-hand mode may be achieved by identifying a touch operation on the intelligent finger ring, for example, the intelligent finger ring is turned on to default right-hand mode, if a long press of the user on the intelligent finger ring is detected, the switching is performed to the left-hand mode, if a long press operation is detected again, the switching is performed to the right-hand mode, and so on.

Taking the example that the intelligent ring is subjected to the sliding operation and then the intelligent glasses are remotely controlled to adjust the volume, the corresponding relation among the sliding operation of the user, the actual sliding direction of the ring body and the operation executed by the intelligent glasses can be referred to the following table at different wearing positions and wearing directions. It can be seen that through judging the combination of the wearing direction and the actual sliding direction, the user operation and the intelligent glasses execution operation can have a clear logic relationship, namely, the inward sliding corresponds to the volume reduction, the outward sliding corresponds to the volume increase, so that the user can understand and memorize the control logic conveniently, and the use convenience of the intelligent finger ring is improved. That is, on the basis of accurately identifying the wearing direction, the real operation intention of the user can be identified more accurately, so that the real operation intention of the user can be responded under the condition that the user wears the ring at will.

The invention also provides an intelligent glasses assembly, which comprises the intelligent glasses and the intelligent finger ring, wherein the specific structure of the intelligent finger ring refers to the embodiment, and the specific steps of the using method of the intelligent glasses assembly also refer to the embodiment.
