Description

WEARABLE CONTROL MEMBER
FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICES
The present invention relates to a wearable control member for electronic devices, particularly mobile portable devices comprising a sensor for electronic labels (tags) of contactless type, particularly RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) tags and NFC (Near Field Communication) tags or labels. The wearable member preferably is a glove, a bracelet or a ring. The portable device may be e.g. a smartphone, an audio file player, a smartwatch phone, a smartwatch GPS, a pedometer, a videocamera (actioncam) or a camera or an electronic device for detecting physiological data, of those athletes bring along during training. Preferably the mobile device comprises a NFC reader inside. The present invention also refers to the system composed of the wearable member and the electronic device. Often mobile phones, audio file readers and other similar electronic devices envisage the possibility to use remote control devices to control some of their available features. One can think e.g. to the headphones with integrated volume or call controls. In order to control the phone one needs to recognize visually or in tactile manner some buttons or icons associated with commands. However, especially in the case when the user wears gloves and/or when he is engaged in a sport activity, the accuracy of the hand is lower or scarce. EP 2 444 720 describes a security system that comprises a mobile phone able to communicate with a wearable device comprising an outer tag. The phone operates under different operational modes depending on whether the user wears the device or not. The system in EP 2 444 720 allows only a recognized user to use the full functionality of the phone, therefore it is not suitable for use in sport activities or where command acknowledgment must be very fast.
The main object of the invention is a control system that solves one or more of the problems described above. Another object is a control system for a mobile portable device, and/or for a device external thereto, which is easier and safer to use, especially during sports activities or which however require concentration.
A control system according to the invention comprises:
- a mobile portable device comprising a wireless label reader;
- a wearable member, preferably a glove, to remotely control the mobile device, the wearable member comprising a first and second label respectively associated to two different identification codes recognizable at a distance by the reader, the portable mobile device being configured for
- detecting through the reader the code of a label, and
- managing the execution of a command that is associated with the code.
Therefore, it is very easy to control the mobile device thanks to the short proximity, which does not require precision or direct observation, between a label and the reader.
The mobile device is preferably programmed, e.g. by means of a microprocessor and relevant instructions,
- to execute the associated command (i.e. the command is coded in the label's code), or to perform
- (a) an association or a match between a detected or detectable code and a predetermined command (i.e. the code of the label is a pointer to a command of a list or a mere indicator of a programmed command inside the mobile device), and (b) the transmission of the so predetermined command to an external device. In the second case, one exploits the hardware of the mobile device to drive comfortably the/a second device, external to the mobile device.
Preferably, the mobile device comprises a command interface, e.g. a touch screen, destined to receive from a user a selection of a predetermined command to associate to a detected or detectable code. Thus the system's flexibility and customization is maximum.
Preferably the portable device comprises a wireless signal transmitter and is programmed to drive the transmitter to send the predetermined command to the external device. The wireless technology simplifies the management of the external device.
Preferably the system also comprises the external device, thereby forming an interactive assembly and a control system that implements new functions or control modes for the external device. In particular, the external device, although little customizable or little user-friendly, becomes controllable with all the simplicity and flexibility that can be implemented on the mobile device.
Preferably the external device comprises a wireless signal receiver compatible with the transmitter, so as to ease the control thereof.
Another aspect of the invention is a program loaded or loadable on a mobile portable device comprising a wireless reader of identification label, the program comprising instructions for
- detecting the code of a label by the reader, and
- managing the execution of a command that is associated with the code. The program may comprise instructions for accomplishing the associated command and/or - more preferably - comprises instructions that, when executed, accomplish
- the location of a predetermined command from a detected or detectable code, and
- the transmission of the predetermined command to an external device.
Thus the program succeeds to manage the communication with external device, and allows sending to it commands of every type. The program preferably comprises instructions for
- acquiring a user input from a command interface comprised in the mobile device and
- processing the input in order to select a predetermined command to associate to a detected or detectable code.
Preferably, the program comprises instructions for storing in a memory of the mobile device the correspondence between the predetermined selected command and the associated detected or detectable code, in order to react automatically in the future by sending to the external device the predetermined command relative to the associated code when the latter is detected. The purpose is to preserve the customization of the system's controls.
The program preferably comprises instructions for driving a wireless signal transmitter comprised in the portable device in order to send the predetermined command to an external device.
The program is preferably an app, e.g. for devices with IOS Android and WINDOWSPHONE operating system. Another aspect of the invention is a method for controlling from a mobile portable device another device, the mobile device comprising a wireless reader of identification label, with the steps of
- detecting by the reader the code of a label located on a glove or on a wearable member;
- locating (e.g. through a program located inside the mobile device) a predetermined command associated to the detected code, and
- transmitting the predetermined command to the external device.
As possible variants of the method, we cite the steps of
- (a) acquiring from a command interface comprised in the mobile device the selection by a user of a predetermined command and (b) associating the command to a predetermined detected or detectable code; and/or
- memorizing the association between a predetermined command and a detected or detectable code; and/or
- transmitting with wireless signals the predetermined command to the external device.
In the system or in the method or in the program the wearable member by a person may be a glove or any other wearable object or garment. Relatively to the system or to the method or to the program, they may comprise programming means intended not only to select commands from a predetermined list, but also intended to program predetermined commands to be associated to detected or detectable codes. For example, the program may comprise instructions for, or the method may include steps of, acquiring through said interface an input destined to define a predetermined command which can be associated with a detected or detectable code.
The system, as well as the method or the program, has major advantages. The wearable element allows selecting a specific function of the mobile or external device among a set of different available functions, without the user having to see or however recognize in some way the position of keys or of a command interface designed to activate the function.
Other advantages, characteristics and mode of use will be made apparent from the following detailed description of some embodiments, with reference to the figures in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figure 1 is a schematic illustration of a system formed by a wearable device and a smartphone controllable by means of the same;
Figure 2 is a schematic illustration of a system composed of the wearable device and the smartphone of figure 1 plus a second device.
In the figures same numerals indicate same elements. Figure 1 shows a system Ql formed by a wearable control device, generally designated with 10, and a smartphone S. The device 10, which serves to control the smartphone S, is shown as a glove but, more generally, it is sufficient for it to be suitable to be portable. The device 10 comprises a plurality of electronic tags 21, 22, 23, preferably formed by NFC (Near Field Communication) tags whose technical specifications are based e.g. on ISO standards 15693, 18092 and 21481, ECMA 340, 352 and 356 and ETSI TS 102 190. The number of distinct and separate electronic labels may vary.
The labels 21, 22, 23, preferably of passive type to not require power supply, are associated to a respective identification code that can be read and recognized by the smartphone S via a relevant integrated reader R. Many smartphones and electronic similar equipment comprise an NFC reader and, therefore, this technology lends itself particularly well as the communication protocol, since it does not require additional hardware. However different transmission protocols based on different standards can be used, provided that a reading of the code associated with the label at the moment when the latter is put near the electronic equipment to control is allowed.
Preferably, the reader R will be able to read electronic labels placed at a distance less than or equal to 5 centimeters. In this way, indeed, when a finger will approach the smartphone S - without, however, that an effective contact is needed- the reader R will be able to recognize the specific code associated with a label 21, 22, 23, and therefore to a relative finger. For each code there is associated a command that the smartphone will execute. In other words, each electronic label 21, 22, 23 is associated with a respective identification code and the reader R recognizes each of the labels when one is sufficiently close to the smartphone S.
In order to make the gestures to move a finger closer to the smartphone S easier, the labels 21, 22 and 23 are fixed to respective portions 11, 12 and 13 of the coating that forms the glove 10. In particular the labels 21, 22 and 23 are arranged in such a way that, when the device is worn, they are located at a respective fingertip.
Since the different labels are attached to the coating in correspondence with distinct and separated portions of its, the user easily realizes which label is going to get closer to the smartphone S and that, therefore, will be recognized by the reader R, without the need to observe neither the hand nor the smartphone, even if this is in a pocket or a bag.
Besides, since it is not necessary to touch any precise area of the smartphone S, a tactile recognition is not even required and therefore even the use of particularly thick tissues, or of further layers in addition to the coating, will not be an obstacle to such acknowledgment action. In particular plastic surfaces, wood, ceramics, glass, or water (in the case e.g. for use in underwater devices or on snow) will not be an obstacle. Recognized a specific label, the smartphone S is programmed to execute a related command, predetermined by the program. For example, a command can be:
- the play/stop command for a song, or
- if there is an incoming call, the answer to the call; or
- a change in the volume of a song's playback or a call.
In this case an app, not the smartphone S, interprets the contents of the tag or label 21, 22 and 23. In general, each of the labels 21, 22 and 23 may have two operation modes:
I - it activates a function without an app interpreting the label's code, i.e. a label 21, 22, 23 is already programmed and the phone executes such command;
II - on the smartphone S an app runs that interprets the code in the label 21, 22 and 23 and executes a corresponding command. Clearly the second mode allows the execution of more complex commands. In fact, in order to customize the operation of the portable device, it can be programmed to allow the user to associate to a label a command as desired, or a command selected among a set of predetermined commands. A label 21, 22 and 23 can also be associated with several commands.
Preferably, the portable device comprises - as in a smartphone - a command interface in the form of a touchscreen Tch, and a program that manages the touchscreen Tch to detect the association between a predetermined command and a respective electronic label. An advantage of the system Ql is the possibility to control a smartphone or another portable electronic device without the need to identify the position of buttons or icons. This allows controlling the device without having to pull it out of pockets, backpacks or bags, and doing it with greater speed and simplicity. Figure 2 shows a variant of a more elaborate system, denoted by Q2. The system Ql was added another device HDS, e.g. an actioncam or a generic remote device (such as a TV, a radio, a camera, a recorder, a household appliance, even a washing machine or a toaster, etc. ).
The HDS device comprises - or has been suitably equipped with - reception means Wl, e.g. of wireless type as a Wi-fi or Bluetooth® transceiver. The means Wl can communicate with, and receive commands from, a corresponding compatible transmission means W2 arranged or integrated into the smartphone S (see arrow F2 that indicates a control signal). E.g. the means W2 may be the hotspot of the smartphone S.
Preferably the means Wl, W2 are transceivers, for bi-directional communication.
The configuration of the system Q2 allows the user to control the device HDS from the glove 10 via the smartphone S. It is sufficient via a program to associate to a label 21, 22, 23 a command destined to the HDS device and to program the smartphone S, e.g. with an app, to transmit such a command (arrow F2) via the means W2 to the device HDS. The program on the smartphone S preferably allows a user, through an interface, to associate to a label 21, 22, 23 a command to be sent to the device HDS, e.g. via a selection menu or by creating from scratch a custom command.
The system Q2 is very advantageous e.g. in the case where an athlete has the smartphone S and a separate device HDS on him. Imagine e.g. that the device HDS is a heart-rate monitor or a wireless navigator, that in itself have not a simplified control interface and/or necessarily require that the user observes them to determine the right command. By touching the smartphone S the athlete can control the device HDS very easily, and without worrying to be precise. Thus a device HDS, even if natively complicated to control, is given an unexpected, additional simplicity and ease of use. On the other hand, with the system Q2 the device HDS can also be worn or carried in a less conventional - but certainly more comfortable - way (e.g. inside a backpack or mounted on a bicycle). In the case where the device HDS is e.g. an actioncam, it can be controlled to be switched on or off, to take a shot, to start or stop the playback or the recording. Not only this can be done underwater or in difficult environmental conditions, but it is clear that the athlete acts in greater security because he is not distracted.
