Description

Wearable Dynamic Indication System

The present invention relates to a dynamic indication system, and in particular to a wearable dynamic indication system capable of presenting different dynamic information through voice input.

For example, on vehicles such as automobiles and locomotives, direction indicator lights have long been a dynamic indicating device that is mandatory to be equipped by regulations. However, on other types of vehicles such as bicycles, scooters, etc., it is still generally not equipped with any steering dynamic indicator lamps due to many considerations. Because most of these vehicles without steering dynamic indicator devices are small in size, simple in structure, and lack of protection for drivers, they are not only difficult to identify for people and vehicles behind them, but also relatively easy to cause casualties in the event of an accident.

Blinker indicators have proven to have the effect of alerting people and vehicles around them of an impending change in driving dynamics. Although there are other regulations on gestures for those who are not equipped with direction indicators or are damaged, compared with light signals, gestures are not only less recognizable, but may even be ineffective for others in areas with low levels of traffic education. understand. Therefore, if the direction indicators or the like can be additionally installed on vehicles that are not currently equipped with direction indicators, the warning will be effectively improved. However, the structure of such vehicles is very different, so the same direction indicating device may not be installed on different vehicles, and the expected warning effect may not be achieved.

In view of this, the present invention proposes a wearable dynamic indicating system, which can greatly improve the alertness to the surroundings, and only needs to be set at an appropriate position on the user's body, so it is not limited by the type of vehicle.

The second microprocessor is connected to the second communication module and the second light emitting device. The wearable dynamic indicating system also includes a voice component connected to the first indicating component and configured to transmit the voice signal of the user to the first indicating component, and supplies power to the first indicating component, the second indicating component, and the voice signal respectively. At least one power source for the component. The wearable dynamic indication system is configured to perform at least one of the following operations: a) the voice recognition module converts the first signal received from the voice component into first data, and transmits the first data to the first microprocessor , the first microprocessor sends a first indication signal to the first light emitting device to activate the first light emitting device after receiving the first data; and b) the voice recognition module converts the second signal received from the voice component into the second data , and send the second data to the first microprocessor, the first microprocessor sends instructions to the second microprocessor through the first communication module and the second communication module after receiving the second data, and the second microprocessor The processor sends a second indication signal to the second light emitting device based on the instruction to activate the second light emitting device. Based on the data sensed by the accelerometer device, the first microprocessor of the wearable dynamic indication system determines whether to send an off signal to the first light emitting device to turn off the first light emitting device, and/or judges Determine whether to send an instruction to the second microprocessor so that the second microprocessor sends an off signal to the second light emitting device to turn off the second light emitting device.

Information that the dynamic is about to change in the first direction (eg left). For example, when the user transmits a first voice signal (such as "turn left") S1 to the first indication component 12 through the voice component 11, the microprocessor 12A receives the first voice signal S1 through the communication module 12B, and sends The first voice signal S1 is sent to the voice recognition module 12D. The speech recognition module 12D converts the first speech signal S1 into first data D1 recognizable by the microprocessor 12A, and transmits the first data D1 to the microprocessor 12A.
