Description

Smart device app control method using breath {Smartphone App Control Method Using Breath}

The present invention relates to a method of controlling a smart device app, and more specifically, to a method of controlling a smart device app by blowing air with the mouth.

For people with mental illnesses such as depression, panic disorder, and ADHD, deep breathing, hoarse breathing, resting breathing (abdominal breathing), and flat breathing are recommended to stabilize the mind. Breathing can be helpful when experiencing a stressful or embarrassing situation, such as an interview, and is also very effective in dealing with everyday stress. This type of breathing is taught at training centers specializing in meditation. It takes a lot of effort to breathe properly. There are also cases where time and money must be invested and religious resistance must be overcome.

The purpose of the present invention is to make breathing, which is useful and healthy but has various limitations, easy and fun to learn and utilize in real life.

Additionally, the app operation signal described above can be detected by a pressure sensor.

At this time, when the pressure of the breath is detected, a step of running a preset app may be further included.

The image displayed on the device may be a static image and then a dynamic image that moves by reflecting the direction and intensity of breath.

Additionally, the image displayed on the device may include a video portion and a still image portion.

Furthermore, a flower may be displayed in the video section and a stem may be displayed in the still image section.

In this case, the flower in the video section can reflect the direction and intensity of breath to display an image of the petals that make up the flower flying in the wind.

As described above, using the smart device app control method using breath according to an embodiment of the present invention, restful breathing can be fun, and treatment for children or adults with mental illness can be done like play. In particular, when psychological pain occurs, such as when there is a prognosis for panic disorder, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, etc., go to the hospital and take easy restful breathing as an emergency measure before taking medicine, just like performing CPR when a cardiac arrest occurs. You can use .

As used herein, singular forms also include plural forms, unless specifically stated otherwise in the context. 'Comprise' used in the specification. and 'comprising' do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other components, steps, operations and/or elements.

Additionally, like reference numerals throughout each drawing refer to like elements, and detailed descriptions of well-known features and techniques may be omitted to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the discussion of the described embodiments of the invention. .

Throughout the specification, when a part “includes” a certain element, this does not mean excluding other elements, unless specifically stated to the contrary, but rather means that it may further include other elements. In addition, terms such as "... unit", "... unit", "module", and "block" used in the specification refer to a unit that processes at least one function or operation, which is hardware, software, or hardware. and software.

Figure 1 shows a smart device app control method 100 using breath according to an embodiment of the present invention. The smart device app control method 100 using breath includes a step of detecting an app operation signal (110), a step of determining the direction of breath by calculating the relative position of the device and the user (120), and using the sound sensor of the device. It may include calculating the intensity of the breath (130) and displaying an image on the display unit of the device by reflecting the direction and intensity of the breath (140).

In step 110 of detecting an app driving signal, the driving signal may be touching the screen of a smart device or touching a wearable device such as a wrist band linked thereto. It can also be driven by recognizing a specific voice. Alternatively, relatively strong breath can be recognized as a driving signal.

In step 120 of determining the direction of breath by calculating the relative positions of the device and the user, various angular patterns can be calculated based on the user's viewpoint looking at the smart device. Even when rotating a smart device, the angle can be determined. Methods for determining the direction of breath include ray tracing, which can calculate the exact point in time when the user is looking at the smart device. Alternatively, you can use an approximate value based on the angle rather than the exact point in time.

In step 130 of calculating the intensity of the breath using the sound sensor of the device, a sound sensor built into the smart device can be used to calculate the size of the breath. Of course, a separate device that can measure the size of breath can be installed separately on the smart device. Smart devices usually use low-cost sound sensors. At this time, the size of the input sound can be refined using post-processing filtering techniques.

The direction and intensity of breath determined in step 140 of displaying an image on the smart device and on the display of the device by reflecting the direction and intensity of the breath are combined with preset image data. Images can be configured in various ways, taking into account the user's taste.

The image displayed on the device may be a dynamic image that is stationary and then moves by reflecting the direction and intensity of breath. At this time, the image displayed on the device may also include a video portion and a still image portion.

Figure 2 shows a step 140 of displaying an image according to an embodiment of the present invention. When the breath is not blowing, a starting image 210 with a still flower is displayed on the display unit. When breath is detected, the video unit 211 reflects the direction and strength of the breath and displays an intermediate video 220 showing a scene where flower petals are blown and scattered by the wind. In the resulting image (230), all the petals are blown away and only the stem remains. In this way, the still image unit 212 maintains its original appearance regardless of breath.

The image of the app running on the display unit 200 may be configured in various ways other than the flower described above. To give a few examples, first, you can compose images with the theme of flowers such as roses, daisies, and dandelions. It can also be composed of trees and their fruits. It can change the color of flowers, change the color of leaves, or make plants grow. You can allow puppies such as Jindo dogs or Golden Retrievers to grow into adult dogs. You can use images of various animals. You can even make pictures of your favorite celebrities appear or change.
