Title: System and method for the control and/or management of peripheral devices, through the use of wearable devices.

Description

field of technique

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of artificial intelligence systems and methods aimed at the control and/or management of peripheral devices, through the use of wearable devices, or systems and/or methods of interaction without contact and/or gesture recognition, i.e. touchless interaction.

[0002] Therefore the present invention belongs to the area of artificial intelligence solutions. State of art

[0003] The scope embraced by the system and/or method of the invention ? rather large, even well established in the field of artificial intelligence.

[0004] ?Artificial intelligence ? a discipline belonging to computer science that studies the theoretical foundations, methodologies and techniques that allow the design of hardware systems and systems of software programs capable of providing the electronic computer with performances that, to a common observer, would appear to be of exclusive pertinence of the ?human intelligence?.

[0005] Artificial intelligence (AI) and related technologies have made significant progress in recent years. In particular, neural networks have moved from specialist academic projects to being used in commercial and consumer-facing applications. These applications and technologies have the potential to solve a number of long-standing technical challenges.

[0006] The Internet of Things (IoT) brings value to business operations by instrumenting physical operations with high-fidelity sensors, monitoring events in high-frequency operations, and transforming sensor data into actionable analytical information through software and services. However, the physical settings of day-to-day operations (such as factories, warehouses, retail stores and other facilities) are extremely heterogeneous in terms of sensor hardware, network topology, data protocols and data formats. This heterogeneity? places high costs on software development, testing, and deployment; code modules must be redesigned for each combination of data format-data protocol-network-hardware.

[0007] The computer mouse ? a portable pointing device (or peripheral) that detects two-dimensional movement with respect to a flat surface; this movement is translated into the movement of a pointer on a monitor, which allows for fluid control of a computer's graphical interface.

[0008] The man-machine interface constitutes an interface paradigm with artificial systems, in particular with the computer, which over time becomes? defined and developed to overcome the different functional nature of the interaction and communication between (artificial) machines and (natural) human beings.

[0009] The abstract nature of machines, whatever they are, electrical, mechanical, electromechanical, etc., has given rise over time to the problem of interaction with the machine itself by man and the consequent search for efficient and effective solutions for practice this interaction.

[0010] Initially, the first devices that made it possible to create man-machine interfaces were of a hardware nature (buttons, keys and lamps) which, with the advent of computers, became keyboards, first numeric and then alphanumeric, and displays (touchscreen).

[0011] The keyboard represented the first form of interface. The typewriter, typewriter (example of a completely mechanical nature) uses? the alphanumeric keyboard to allow the user to communicate to the typewriter the alphabetical coding of words in terms of actuating the hammers that struck the writing roller. The introduction of the mouse allowed? to quickly switch from the line interface or Cli (Command line interface) based on an alphanumeric keyboard and alphanumeric display to the graphic one or Gui (Graphic user interface) based on the mouse and graphic display.

[0012] The use of gesture recognition in the interface between man and machine is not a new topic. Some of the most Recent televisions or electronic gaming platforms use camera-based gesture recognition systems, which eliminate the need for that you have a remote control or a console. Image processing technologies are used to recognize the user?s hand movement. Gesture recognition accuracy depends on camera calibration and resolution, brightness? ambient light, camera viewing angle, image refresh rate, and sensitivity? of the camcorder to capture fast movements. The use of gesture recognition as an interface between man and machine requires the analysis of body movement (in particular of the hand) to activate functionalities? specific and well-defined in a mobile system. For example, in a smartphone ? You can answer a conversation with a single tap of your finger (single tap) and end the call with two taps in quick succession (double tap). By tilting the phone forward or backward from the horizontal position, you can scroll in one direction or another? the phone book, at a speed? appropriate. ? then possible, with a single touch, select a contact, and moving the phone to the left and back you can? go back to consulting the phone book. In a completely analogous way to speech recognition, the system that recognizes gestures based on movement allows you to compare the movements that are detected with those predefined and stored in the database to recognize or not the gesture in question.

[0013] The state of the art comprises numerous devices capable of interacting with PCs and smartphones through the movement of the fingers and the hand. Patent application US20040263473 describes a system able to recognize the movement of the fingers by means of wearable rings. This system? based on a mix of wearables and infrastructure, where the rings are only intended to support markers recognized by an external camera. Isn't this system? suitable for interaction in mobile contexts and not ? wearable.

[0014] Patent US5832296 describes a system based on a ring capable of interacting with any intelligent device present in the environment, including pressure and touch sensors, except for movement sensors; Not ? versatile; can not? react with a plurality? of accessories and can not? use several devices at the same time.

[0015] The possibility? to connect a single unit? inertial and to use different devices possibly worn on different parts of the body - represents the limit of most of the systems of the prior art.

[0016] US2003142065A1 relates to the field of computer interaction and input devices and discloses a ring with built-in inertial sensors, such as accelerometers and gyroscopes to detect movements of the finger, hand or object carrying it, in the space. ? equipped with tactile sensors and/or buttons that can be touched/pressed to activate the sensors and/or detect a command from the user. It has the necessary means to process the signals from said built-in sensors and peripheral buttons, convert the processed signals into formats that can be interpreted by a computer and send the data to said computer.

[0017] US2012075173A1 discloses a method and apparatus for providing input to a user device (such as computers, televisions, game consoles, etc.) via a device configured to be worn by a user. The method includes receiving sensor information of a user's wearable device, resulting in a motion input indicated by the received information such that the motion input refers to the motion of the device relative to the user, resulting in a function based on the ?motion input and causing the function to be executed. The device can be configured to ring, necklace, bracelet, belt, etc. and the sensor can? be trackball type.

[0018] US2016183869A1 discloses a device and a method for controlling a wearable device. Does the device include a communicator configured to communicate with one or more? wearable devices that are worn on a user's body and obtain the user's physical information; and a controller configured to determine the positions and movement of these devices through the unit? detection and to determine the type of activity? (e.g. exercise) performed by the user. The wearable device can be a watch, bracelet, ring, necklace, pendant, clip, patch, tattoo, contact lenses, glasses, earphones, shoes or the like. The unit? detection can? include at least one of a magnetic sensor, an acceleration sensor, a temperature/humidity sensor, an infrared sensor, a gyro sensor, a position sensor (such as a GPS), an air pressure sensor, a proximity sensor? and an RGB sensor (ie a luminance sensor).

[0064] According to one embodiment of the invention, the sensor(s) of the wearable device(s) and b) are an inertial platform.

[0065] Inertial platform, ? an aggregation of mobile and static sensors, which evaluate the movements, these sensors are a set of accelerometers, decelero-meters, gyroscopes, I / O, positioners that measure accelerations in the three directions: longitudinal, transversal and vertical and, of gyroscopes which measure the axes of rotation given a zero point. These sensors record the position of the wearable device and/or wearable reference device in space, vertical, horizontal and/or inclined given a reference point ?ZERO point? given by the wearable reference device (i.e. a point in the human body), also determining vibrations and/or temperatures and/or humidity? and all those circumstances that could affect and / or alter the quality? of determination.

[0066] A unit? inertial measurement unit or inertial platform (also known as inertial measurement unit, or IMU) ? an avionics system that implements the inertial navigation system of an aircraft. It is based on inertial sensors, such as accelerometers and gyroscopes, which allow for monitoring the dynamics of a moving object (in this case, a limb), which can be used by the computer and/or platform and/or system and/or method of the invention to issue commands to peripheral devices.

[0067] An inertial platform? constituted by a MEMS type sensor (Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems), these micrometric sensors allow to transform a mechanical input such as for example the pressure, the acceleration, the inclination or the intensity? of sound in an electrical impulse, quantifiable and measurable, or a signal, which pu? be processed by the data processing module c).

[0068] the IMU ? a set of different sensors, for example: the accelerometer which measures accelerations, the gyroscope which measures an inclination.

[0069] The IMU can? provide the accelerations along the axes, therefore the three accelerations X Y and Z (from which the instantaneous speed is also obtained with a mathematical formula), and the three angles of rotation on these axes: lean, wheelie and yaw.

[0070] The sensors, contained in the inertial platform and/or in the wearable devices, are those which allow to describe the motion of a rigid body in space, having six degrees of freedom, its movement can? be simplified by breaking it down into three translations along three orthogonal axes (x, y, z) and three rotations around the same axes. Instantly knowing these values \u200b\u200band the starting point (determined by the reference device a)). Additional sensor? a time meter, which measures the time elapsed to make a movement along or around an axis.

[0071] Are the axes, the X axis? the longitudinal one, with the ?+? forward, the Z axis ? the vertical one facing upwards, the Y axis of the right-handed triad ? the transversal one with the ?+? To the right. The rotations around these axes take their name from aerial navigation: ?roll?, the surge ? called pitching, the skid? called yaw.

[0072] The inertial platforms use solid state electronics or MEMS Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems. An inertial platform detects accelerations, from which speeds are derived? and the movements through components that are called accelerometers, one for each axis and the speed? of rotation around the same axes through the so-called gyroscopes or speed sensors? angular crystalline quartz.

[0073] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the inertial platform comprises at least one motion sensor capable of recognizing multiple? signals, including acceleration, spatial orientation, and orientation relative to the Earth's axis of rotation, as a unit? inertial at 9 degrees of freedom? (accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer), which makes it possible to recognize movement and orientation in space and to associate commands with them.

[0074] According to one embodiment, the inertial platform can include a system for the interpolation of the axes at the same time. Said interpolation of contemporary axes can? be in RTCP, single, multiple or total axes. The abbreviation RTCP (Real Time Control Protocol) ? a protocol designed to work with RTP for monitoring and not quality control? of the distribution.

[0075] According to an embodiment of the invention, the sensor(s) of the wearable devices b) comprise accelerometer, decelerometer, gyroscope, compass, gps.

[0076] The accelerometer ? a sensor capable of measuring acceleration by calculating the relationship between the mass in motion with respect to the force that determines its movement (therefore it is a measure of force per unit of mass). The accelerometer sensor? therefore the result of applying the laws of mechanical physics using state-of-the-art technologies.

[0077] The deceleration meter ? a sensor capable of measuring deceleration.

[0078] The gyroscope ? a rotating physical device which, due to the law of conservation of angular momentum, tends to keep its axis of rotation oriented in a fixed direction. A rigid body S? a gyroscope if the inertia tensor relative to the centroid admits a simple eigenvalue and a double eigenvalue or a triple eigenvalue. The eigenvector corresponding to the simple eigenvalue ? called gyroscopic axis.

[0079] Gyroscopes are inertial sensors aimed at measuring angular movement (angular velocity). The physical principle of reference? the Coriolis effect. There are many types of gyroscopes in relation to the mode? implementation: tuning-fork, wine-glass, Focault pendulum, oscillating wheels. Does the gyroscope measure speed? angle via a proportional voltage measured in millivolts per degree per second (mV/?/s).

[0080] The sensors and/or the inertial platform included in the wearable device are integrated in an electronic circuit, powered by a battery that can? be recharged even during use, using a charging system, such as the USB port or an induction system.

[0081] According to an embodiment of the invention, the sensor(s) of the wearable devices b) can further comprise pressure sensors (altimeters), acoustic sensors (microphones), direction sensors (magnetometers), humidity sensors ?, temperature sensors.

[0082] According to an alternative embodiment of the invention, the sensors further comprise vibrational sensors and/or temperature sensors and/or pressure sensors, capable of capturing vibrations, temperature variations, pressure variations.

[0083] The magnetometer ? the magnetic field measuring instrument. The measurement of the field components along three independent directions allows only the magnetic field vector to be defined at the point where the measurement is made.

[0084] Through the inertial platform and/or the sensors? recognition of movement and gestures is possible, which represent the signals that are sent to the processing module c) and converted into data representing the signal.

[0085] The signals representing the movements can be encoded into signals which can be processed by the data processing module c) through signal processing algorithms, such as Kalman filters or Windsurf systems.

[0086] Subsequently, the signals are encoded in elements capable of representing the movement through the measurement of units? standards, such as radians or angles, so that the data detected by the sensors can be transmitted in raw form or after processing to the data processing module c) which ? able to interpret them. The transmission of encoded signals can? be carried out via wired or wireless systems, such as a serial cable connection through the USB port or a wireless connection through a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth system equipped with an internal or external antenna (referring to low power protocols, such as Bluetooth low Energy, BLE). Furthermore, can include short-range information transmission systems such as near-field communication (NFC) systems.

[0087] The raw data from the accelerometer and gyroscope are made available via Spi or I2C interfaces.

[0088] According to a preferred embodiment, ? It is possible to define the sampling frequency for the acquisition of data from the sensor, for example at 50 Hz or 100 Hz. The maximum measurement interval can? be set up to ?4g for the accelerometer and ?2000dps for the gyroscope in order to avoid sensor data saturation in the case of particularly fast gestures. ? It is possible to use any of the Imu modules which implement algorithms for the recognition of complex gestures.

[0089] According to an embodiment of the invention, gesture recognition comprises computer technologies which have the objective of interpreting the human gesture via mathematical algorithms. Gestures can originate from any movement or state of the body, but commonly originate from the face or hand. Users can use simple gestures to control or interact with peripheral devices without physically touching them.

[0090] Gesture recognition can be seen as a way for computers to understand human body language, thus building a bridge more richer between machines and humans than primitive text user interfaces or even GUIs (graphical user interfaces), which still restrict most input to keyboard and mouse, allowing for recognition to interact naturally without mechanical devices.

[0099] According to an embodiment of the invention, in step iii. a further labeling of the data generated in step ii takes place and/or is carried out, ie labels are assigned which identify a data item to a specific command to be executed by the peripheral device.
