Description

Method for accumulating and sharing bead information

The invention relates to a method for accumulating and sharing bead dialing information, in particular to a method for accumulating and sharing bead dialing information executed by a bead string with a sensor, a communication device and a server.

Buddhist beads, also known as rosary beads, is an important tool that Buddhists often use when holding Buddhist chanting chants. Although the bead itself can be used as a small and simple counting device, for modern busy people, in order to avoid being interrupted or interfered by chores and unable to remember the number of recitations, it is still necessary to assist the recording through a counter or by handwriting.

However, the traditional counting method often requires the user to hold the bead in one hand, press the counter with one hand or record the number of times by handwriting. The above method is easy to make the user feel confused and unable to concentrate on the Buddha number, which is not a very friendly experience. In addition, the beading information recorded each time cannot be traced back in the future without an effective recording mechanism. Furthermore, Buddhist groups often hold various co-cultivation activities, but the premise is to complete them in the same space and time. Therefore, participants must take special time to participate. However, the time period available for everyone is not necessarily the same, which makes it difficult to arrange joint activities that everyone can participate in.

In view of this, the present invention is to provide a method for accumulating and sharing bead-pulling information, which not only can share the burden of the user to additionally calculate the number of bead-pickup times or the bead-pickup time, but also can automatically record relevant data of each bead-pickup for later review. In addition, you can also share the number of beading with others.

According to an embodiment of the invention, a method for accumulating and sharing bead information is applicable to bead strings and bead string communication is connected to a communication device. The method includes: receiving a measurement signal sent by the bead string by a communication unit of the communication device And the operation unit of the communication device determines whether the measurement signal meets the progressive feature; and when the measurement signal meets the progressive feature, the operation unit generates bead information and displays the bead information on the display unit of the communication device, wherein the bead information is Refers to the bead number or bead setting time of the bead string.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for accumulating and sharing bead dialing information, in which a communication device is communicatively connected to a server, the method further includes: the communication unit sends bead dialing information to the server; the server updates a cumulative information. The accumulated information is related to the bead information; and after the server updates the accumulated information, the communication device obtains the accumulated information from the server with the communication unit and displays the accumulated information with the display unit.

With the above-mentioned structure, the method for accumulating and sharing bead information disclosed in the present invention, through the arithmetic unit on the communication device, senses the measurement signal sent by the bead string to determine whether the measurement signal conforms to the progressive feature, thus avoiding artificial Factors lead to count errors. On the other hand, the communication unit of the communication device sends the bead information to the server and updates the accumulated information, so that it can save the record of each time the bead is turned and can allow the past records to be reviewed at any time. In addition, the server can simultaneously receive the cumulative number of bead dialings from multiple communication devices for the same common repair solution, so multiple users can complete the joint repair together with others in different spaces and times to achieve online distance The effect of distance training and tracking the progress of group activities in real time.

The above description of the disclosure and the following description of the embodiments are used to demonstrate and explain the spirit and principle of the present invention, and provide a further explanation of the scope of the patent application of the present invention.

The following describes in detail the detailed features and advantages of the present invention in the embodiments. The content is sufficient for any person skilled in the relevant art to understand and implement the technical content of the present invention, and according to the contents disclosed in this specification, the scope of patent application and the drawings Anyone skilled in the relevant art can easily understand the purpose and advantages of the present invention. The following examples further illustrate the views of the present invention in detail, but do not limit the scope of the present invention in any way.

A method for accumulating and sharing bead dialing information disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention is applicable to a bead string. The bead string communication is connected to a communication device, and the communication device is connected to a server. In practice, a bead string is a bead, for example, made up of multiple beads connected in series, one or more of which contains a sensor to sense the bead's toggled state and send a measurement signal to the bead Paired communication device. The communication device is, for example, a smart phone or tablet computer. A method for accumulating and sharing bead information disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention can be implemented by a specific application (App) running on the smart phone or tablet. The communication device The hardware structure can also be any hardware device that can receive and process the aforementioned measurement signals, and the invention is not limited thereto. The server is, for example, a cloud storage device or a personal computer that can be connected to the network. The present invention does not limit the hardware structure of the server.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a method for accumulating and sharing bead information according to an embodiment of the invention. Please refer to step S1: The communication device receives the setting information. In detail, before the communication device receives the measurement signal sent by the bead string, the communication device receives the setting information. The setting information is, for example, at least one of the number of beads of the bead string, the identification code of the bead string, or a predetermined quota. Specifically, before users start to use beads to read Buddha, they must first establish a communication connection between the beads and the communication device, and the way to establish the communication connection between the two is for example: the number of beads or the beads The configuration information such as the hardware device identification code is sent to the communication device wirelessly, received and stored by the communication unit of the communication device, so that the communication device can recognize the bead string it is paired with. On the other hand, before the user starts to use the beads to chant Buddha, he can input the predetermined amount of chanting Buddha in advance as an evaluation indicator of the progress of the follow-up inspection.

Please refer to step S2 of FIG. 1: the communication device receives the measurement signal. In detail, when the user starts to toggle the bead string, the sensor located in the bead string will generate a measurement signal and send the measurement signal by wireless communication; the measurement signal is, for example, a three-axis The acceleration signal or the angular velocity signal is not limited by the present invention. The wireless communication is, for example, Bluetooth (Bluetooth), Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth Low Energy), ZigBee, wireless local area network technology or Near Field Communication (NFC). The communication unit of the communication device receives the measurement signal generated by the bead string through one of the above wireless communication methods.

Please refer to step S3 of FIG. 1 to determine whether the measurement signal meets the progressive feature. In detail, after receiving the aforementioned measurement signal, the communication device will execute an algorithm through the arithmetic unit of the communication device to check whether the received measurement signal conforms to the signal characteristics that the normal bead dialing behavior should have. When the measurement signal meets the progressive characteristics, it executes as shown in step S4 of FIG. 1: the operation unit generates bead-pulling information, and the bead-pulling information refers to the bead-pulling number or the bead-pulling time. After the operation unit confirms that the measurement signal conforms to the progressive feature in step S3, it will progressively increment the bead number or bead time in step S4, and in step S5, the display unit of the communication device displays the latest bead dial information in real time for the user to view. If the computing unit determines in step S3 that the measurement signal does not meet the progressive characteristics, it returns to step S2 to wait for the next measurement signal. Through the method of accumulating bead dialing information described in steps S2~S5, the user can focus on the bead dialing and reading the Buddha. The statistical information of the process is completely completed through the bead string and the communication device connected with the bead string communication. Use an additional counter or timer to count the number of bead dials or bead dial time, and you can view the current completion progress at any time through the display unit of the communication device.

In the above method for accumulating bead dialing information, the arithmetic unit may be used to check whether the current bead dialing information is greater than or equal to a predetermined amount, thereby judging whether the user has completed the bead dialing target set by himself, for example, the number of bead dialing 500 The time to reach the beading time is 60 minutes. When the computing unit judges that the currently accumulated bead information reaches a predetermined quota, the computing unit generates a compliance signal and displays the image, image or text associated with the compliance signal with the display unit to notify the user. When the communication device is a smart phone, the compliance signal can also be notified to the user through the vibration or sound of the phone. Further, in order to enhance the will and fun of the Buddha to dial the beads to read the Buddha and increase the sense of accomplishment, the computing unit can control the display unit to generate a series of progressive images according to the current proportion of the completed beads to the predetermined quota, for example: Lotus The blooming gesture represents the current progress made by the user on the beading, so as to give the Buddhist cultivator a feeling of "consummation of merit".

In the above method for accumulating bead-pulling information, after the arithmetic unit progressively increments the number of bead-pulling times or the bead-pulling time, it may further include storing the newly generated bead-pulling information in the storage unit of the communication device, so that the user When the bead dialing activity is switched to another bead dialing activity, the bead dialing information recorded by the arithmetic unit can be directly restored to the initial state to restart the accumulated bead dialing information.

Please continue to refer to step S6 of FIG. 1: the communication unit sends the bead dialing information to the server. As mentioned above, after the computing device generates the bead information, it can be stored in the storage unit of the communication device, so the user can control the communication device to read this storage unit at any time to review the previous records; however, once the communication device is damaged or lost, plus the user Without the habit of regularly backing up data, the bead information previously recorded in the storage unit of the communication device may still be irrecoverable. The method for accumulating and sharing bead dialing information disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention uses a "cloud storage space" method to permanently store old data and data in order to allow users to review each bead bead chanting record at any time. The user tracks or analyzes the past course records through the application running on the communication device, thus achieving the effect of "digitalization" and "backtracking" of the bead information.

Please refer to step S7 in FIG. 1: the server updates the accumulated information according to the bead information. The accumulated information may be the aforementioned bead information stored by individual users, or may be the result of adding up the bead information uploaded by multiple users. In detail, in the method for accumulating and sharing bead information disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention, in order to make common co-cultivation activities more flexible, through the "online participation activities" method, multiple users can Use bead strings and communication devices to contribute your bead dialing information under different space and time conditions. Please continue to refer to step S8 of FIG. 1: the communication device obtains the accumulated information, and step S9: the display unit displays the accumulated information. For example, the user can view the community platform through the communication device to learn about the co-cultivation activities that he can participate in. After the user selects the co-cultivation activity to participate, the communication device performs the aforementioned steps S8 and S9 to obtain the latest cumulative information of the co-cultivation activity and informs the user through the display unit of the communication device. Even if there are multiple people working together at the same time, you can use the "real-time data summation" of the cloud server, so that each user can immediately know the current total accumulated bead information. In addition, you can use the notification function of the smartphone to actively generate messages to let users always know how far away they are from the goal of co-cultivation. By implementing the "real-time tracking progress" method on the communication device, users can feel more involved and the co-cultivation activities can be achieved more quickly.

As mentioned above, in addition to joining the existing co-cultivation activities, users can also create a new co-cultivation activity by themselves and set the content of the co-cultivation, including the chanting type, goal, time of the activity, whether the invitation is open, or not The event is for unfamiliar colleagues and so on.

In detail, the user establishes a receiving group on the server side with the communication unit of the communication device. The role of this receiving group may be to receive a shared quota sent by another communication device, and after receiving the shared quota, The storage unit updates the bead dialing information, thereby realizing the number of bead dialing or the bead dialing time shared by others. And in order to improve the interaction between the Buddha practitioners, and carry forward the matter of Buddha cultivation. In addition to the online activities of the co-cultivation activities, it can be combined with the "instant message" of the community platform, so that while the Buddhist practitioners can work together to complete the co-cultivation activities, they can cheer and cheer each other up by leaving a message on the community platform. And encouragement, to promote the completion rate of joint training activities. In addition, after achieving the goal of the joint cultivation activity, making the practice of Buddhism widely known in the form of "community sharing" can not only increase the sense of accomplishment of the Buddhism, but also indirectly enhance the degree of discussion.

In addition to the above-mentioned joint training activities, a method for accumulating and sharing bead information disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention also considers the way of merit return. Specifically, after the user reaches a predetermined quota, the user can determine a shared quota and the object to which the shared quota is sent. The sharing quota is less than or equal to the bead information. The user sends the sharing quota through the communication unit of the communication device to another communication device of the object to be sent, and after sending the sharing quota, steps S4-S9 are re-executed In order for the computing unit to update the bead dialing information (for example, the share quota is deducted from the completed number of bead dialing) to the storage unit and the online server. In contrast, users can also receive the merits of others returning to themselves. Specifically, the bead information generated by the computing unit of the communication device is the first bead information. The user establishes a receiving group with the communication unit of the communication device, and the receiving group is used to receive the transmission from another communication device. The second bead dialing information, and after receiving the second bead dialing information, re-execute steps S4-S9 to make the arithmetic unit update the first bead dialing information. The number of people in the receiving group can be determined by the user. Therefore, the receiving group can be used for one-to-one merit return or many-to-one merit return.

Based on the above, the method for accumulating and sharing bead information disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention uses a computing unit on a communication device to sense the measurement signal sent by the bead string to determine whether the measurement signal conforms to the progressive feature, so It can avoid counting errors caused by human factors. On the other hand, the communication unit of the communication device sends the bead information to the server and updates the accumulated information, so that it can save the record of each time the bead is turned and can allow the past records to be reviewed at any time. In addition, the server can simultaneously receive the cumulative number of bead dialings from multiple communication devices for the same common repair solution, so multiple users can complete the joint repair together with others in different spaces and times to achieve online distance The effect of distance training and tracking the progress of group activities in real time.

Although the present invention is disclosed as the foregoing embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, all modifications and retouching are within the scope of patent protection of the present invention. For the protection scope defined by the present invention, please refer to the attached patent application scope.
