detailed description

Numerous specific details are set forth in the description below in order to provide a thorough understanding of the application. However, the present invention can be implemented in many other ways than those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar promotion without departing from the scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

In the present application, a smart device control device, an intelligent device, an intelligent device operation control method, and an intelligent device operation control device are respectively provided, which are described in detail in the following embodiments. . Before describing the embodiments, the technical solutions of the present application are briefly described.

The operating device of the smart device of the present application includes at least one contact disposed on a surface of the housing, a first sensor respectively corresponding to the contact, and a controller; the first sensor is configured to detect a user Corresponding contact operation, and outputting a corresponding first indication signal to the controller; the controller is configured to determine the operated contact at least according to the first indication signal, and perform a preset reverse operation centering The operation corresponding to the operated contact is described.

The operating device of the smart device detects the operation of the user for the corresponding contact by using the sensor, and triggers the controller to perform the operation of the reverse operation centering. Compared with the way of using the physical button, since there is no need to set the switch, and the modification of the button key cap is not required, the hardware structure design and the processing process are simplified; compared with the method of using the sliding touch screen, since there is no need to enter the corresponding adjustment interface Preset operations can be performed, thus simplifying the steps and improving the user experience.

The operating device of the smart device includes at least one contact disposed on a surface of the housing, and a first sensor respectively disposed corresponding to the contact. Wherein the contact is an area on the surface of the housing that prompts the user to operate thereon, for example, the contact may be identified on the surface of the housing by a specific color or pattern, and the contact may also be in the housing The surface is convex to facilitate user identification and operation. The operating device includes a first sensor respectively corresponding to the contact, and in a specific implementation, the contact may be an area on the first sensor corresponding thereto, when When the user operates for a contact (for example, when a touch contact is made), the corresponding first sensor can detect the user's operation.

The first sensor includes a light sensor, a temperature sensor, a pressure sensor, and other sensors not listed herein that can be used to detect user operation of the respective contact. For the light sensor, if it is detected that the emitted light is blocked, it can be considered that the user's finger or other parts (hereinafter collectively referred to as the user's finger) approach or touch the corresponding contact; for the temperature sensor, if the detected temperature is at the body surface temperature In the normal range, the user's finger can be considered to touch the corresponding contact; for the pressure sensor, if the pressure that meets the preset condition is detected, the user's finger can be considered to have pressed the corresponding contact. After the first sensor detects the user's operation for the corresponding contact, a first indication signal indicative of the detected user operation may be sent to the controller.

The controller is configured to determine the operated contact at least according to the received first indication signal, for example, it may be determined that the contact corresponding to the first sensor that sends the first indication signal is the operated contact, and performs pre- The operation of the reverse operation pair corresponding to the operated contact is set.

The control device of the smart device is usually deployed in a smart device, and the smart device may be: a smart wearable device, a smart phone, and other electronic devices with intelligent control functions for the fields of home, entertainment, and the like. Any of these devices can utilize the sensor to detect the user's operation on the contact and trigger the controller to perform the reverse operation centering operation, as well as the benefits described above.

The following describes an embodiment of a control device for a smart device provided by the present application. For convenience of description, in the present embodiment, the manipulation device is deployed in a smart watch, and it employs a light sensor as the first sensor.

Please refer to FIG. 3 , which is a schematic diagram of a smart watch with the operating device provided in the embodiment. Two smart contacts are arranged on the side of the smart watch case, which are respectively referred to as upper contacts. Lower contact. The control device deployed on the smart watch further includes two light sensors respectively disposed corresponding to the upper contact and the lower contact, and the light emitted by the light sensor can be emitted to the outside of the smart watch case through the corresponding contact. In a specific implementation, the contact may be an area on the photosensor corresponding thereto, that is, the contact is located on the surface of the photosensor.

The light sensor has a light emitting device and a light detecting device (Photo Detector - referred to as PD), wherein the light emitting device emits an optical signal of a specific frequency, the light detecting device receives the optical signal of the frequency, and when the light emitted by the light emitting device is blocked and reflected back, the light detecting device receives the reflected light, thereby being The received reflected light identifies the presence of an obstacle and sends a first indication signal to the controller that the optical path of the photosensor is blocked. For example, when the user's finger approaches or touches the upper contact, the light detecting means in the photosensor corresponding to the upper contact detects the reflected light and outputs a first indication signal to the controller.

In particular, since the principle of the light sensor recognizing the obstacle is based on the detection of the reflected light, the contactless operation can be realized, that is, the user can approach the contact with only the finger without touching the contact, and the light sensor can detect it. The operation of the user's finger. For example, in the case where the control device is deployed on the smart glasses, the contacts may be disposed on a surface of the smart eyeglass frame that is not in contact with the human body, in which case the user is not required to accurately touch the contacts. Instead of moving your finger near the contact, the light sensor can detect the user's operation.

Preferably, in order to provide protection for the light sensor, a preferred embodiment in which a through hole is provided in the housing and the light sensor is correspondingly disposed inside the smart watch may be employed, that is, two sides of the smart watch are disposed facing the inside of the housing. And a through hole corresponding to the contact, respectively, the light sensor is disposed inside the smart watch, and the light emitted by the light sensor can be emitted to the outside of the case via a through hole corresponding thereto.

Preferably, on the basis of the above-mentioned arrangement of the through hole structure, the through hole may be sealed with a light transmissive material for waterproofing, and the transparent material may be a transparent material or a translucent material. The transparent material includes: acrylic or PC material, etc., considering that when the transparent material is sealed, the internal structure of the smart watch can be presented relatively clearly through the transparent material, affecting the aesthetic appearance of the smart watch, so when actually selecting the light-transmitting material, A translucent material is preferred, for example, a translucent plastic is used. Further, in order to ensure that the light sensor can detect the reflected light relatively accurately, the transmittance of the translucent plastic for the wavelength of the emitted light of the photosensor is usually not less than 80%.

Please refer to FIG. 4 , which is a schematic diagram of the optical sensor and the through hole of the housing provided in the embodiment. In the schematic view, the through hole is sealed by a light-transmitting material, which can be waterproof on the one hand and can emit light on the other hand. And the reflected light can be smoothly transmitted through the through hole.

Preferably, the photosensor in this embodiment may employ an infrared sensor. The light emitting device of the infrared sensor transmits infrared light, and infrared light (also called infrared light) is a plurality of invisible light One of the lines having a wavelength in the range of 0.75 to 1000 μm. Since the infrared light has the advantages of being invisible to the naked eye, strong penetration, stability, slow decay, and the like, it is a preferred embodiment in the present embodiment. In the specific implementation, the infrared sensor with the emitted light wavelength of 850 nm can be selected according to the industry standard.

The light sensor and the contact in this embodiment are correspondingly arranged, so when the light sensor detects that the emitted light is reflected back, it indicates that the user's finger approaches or touches the corresponding contact, so the light path indicating that the light sensor is output to the controller is blocked. The first indication signal, as a simple implementation, after receiving the first indication signal, the controller may directly determine that the contact corresponding to the optical sensor that outputs the first indication signal is Operate the contacts.

Preferably, in order to avoid false triggering, the embodiment further provides a preferred embodiment of the controller determining the operated contact according to the continuously received first indication signal, that is, the controller may determine the operated contact in the following manner: Receiving a preset number of first indication signals from the same light sensor for a predetermined period of time, determining that the contact corresponding to the light sensor is the operated contact, wherein the preset number of times is not less than 2.

For example, the preset time period is 1 second, and the preset number of times is 2 times. If the controller receives the first indication signal from the light sensor output corresponding to the lower contact 2 times within 1 second, it can be determined The contact is the operated contact.

In addition, in a specific implementation, in order to more accurately recognize the user's operation on the contact, the first indication signal output by the light sensor may represent a more specific meaning, for example, the light sensor may pass the intensity and/or return of the reflected light. The detection of the time determines the position of the user's finger, and outputs to the controller a corresponding first indication signal indicating that the optical path of the photosensor is blocked, which is described in two cases:

1) After the light sensor determines the distance between the user's finger and the light sensor, when the distance is less than the preset trigger threshold, the user's finger performs an operation on the corresponding contact (eg, proximity, touch, etc.) A first indication signal, such as a pulse signal, is output to the controller. The controller may determine, according to the received signal, a contact corresponding to the photosensor outputting the first indication signal as the operated contact.

2) After the light sensor determines the distance between the user's finger and the light sensor, it outputs to the controller. Determining a first indication signal of the corresponding distance value, the controller may obtain a distance value between the user's finger and the light sensor by using the received first indication signal, and determine and output when the distance value is less than the preset trigger threshold The contact corresponding to the photosensor of the first indication signal is the operated contact.

The embodiment in which the controller in the operating device utilizes the first indication signal output by the light sensor to determine the operated contact is given above. This embodiment is relatively simple and can achieve contactless detection, but the presence of optical signals may be hindered by other obstacles. The object occlusion leads to the possibility of erroneous determination. Therefore, the present embodiment also provides a preferred embodiment for determining the operated contact using the light sensor and the acceleration sensor. This preferred embodiment will be described below.

In the preferred embodiment, the control device of the smart device includes, in addition to the controller and the light sensor disposed corresponding to the two contacts, a second sensor, and the second sensor is used to detect the mechanical device of the smart device. Vibrating and outputting a corresponding second indication signal to the controller; the controller is configured to determine the tapped contact according to the first indication signal and the second indication signal, and perform a preset reverse operation A pair of operations corresponding to the tapped contacts.

The second sensor is configured to detect mechanical vibration of the smart device and output a second indication signal indicative of the detected mechanical vibration to the controller. For example, a user tapping a contact generates a mechanical vibration that causes a response of the second sensor, the second sensor is capable of detecting a corresponding vibration frequency, and outputs a second indication signal, such as a pulse signal, to the controller.

In a specific implementation, a vibration sensor or an acceleration sensor may be employed as the second sensor in the manipulation device. For convenience of description, an acceleration sensor will be further described as an example in the present embodiment.

The acceleration sensor may be a single-axis acceleration sensor. In order to improve the sensitivity of the vibration detection, a three-axis acceleration sensor may be preferably used. The three-axis acceleration sensor detects mechanical vibration in at least one of the X, Y, and Z axis directions. A second indication signal characterizing the mechanical vibration can then be output to the controller. In order to further improve the sensitivity of the vibration detection, a five-axis acceleration sensor is also possible.

The controller determines the tapped contact according to the received first indication signal and the second indication signal. Specifically, determining the operated contact by the first indication signal output by the light sensor a specific position, that is, determining an upper contact or a lower contact; determining, according to the second indication signal output by the acceleration sensor, that a tapping operation occurs, if the above two are detected simultaneously within a preset time period (for example, within 1 second) The signal can then determine that the contact corresponding to the photosensor that outputs the first indication signal is the tapped contact.

Preferably, in order to further prevent false triggering, the embodiment further provides a preferred embodiment for determining the tapped contact according to two consecutive tapping operations, that is, the controller receives the first indication signal if it is within a preset time period. And, when the time interval of receiving the second indication signal is within the preset range, determining that the contact corresponding to the photosensor outputting the first indication signal is the tapped contact.

That is to say, to determine that a contact is tapped, the following three conditions need to be met: the light sensor detects the reflected light signal; the acceleration sensor detects the frequency of the two mechanical vibrations; the time interval of the two mechanical vibrations is within a preset range. If the first indication signal and the second indication signal received by the controller within the preset time period satisfy the above three conditions, it may be determined that the contact corresponding to the photosensor outputting the first indication signal is tapped Contact.

For example, the preset time period is 1 second, and the preset range is 0.05 seconds to 0.1 seconds. If the controller receives the light sensor output corresponding to the upper contact within 1 second, the first indication signal indicating that the optical path is blocked. Receiving the second indication signal that the acceleration sensor outputs twice to characterize the mechanical vibration, and receiving the second indication signal twice for a time interval of 0.08 seconds, indicating that the user performs two consecutive tapping operations on the upper contact, It can be determined that the upper contact is a tapped contact.

With the above preferred embodiment, the operation mode of the tapping contact is consistent with the user's normal usage habits, and on the other hand, the false triggering can be avoided by detecting the two mechanical vibrations, and the user can be more accurately recognized while being convenient for the user to operate. Operate the contacts to reduce false positives.

After the controller determines the operated contact according to the received first indication signal (and the second indication signal), an operation corresponding to the operated contact of the preset reverse operation pair may be performed. The reverse operation pair refers to a pair of operations that achieve the opposite effect of the same function, such as a pair of operations of increasing the volume and decreasing the volume, achieving the same volume adjustment function, but the effect is reverse, that is, the implementation The reverse operation pair described in the example. In addition to increasing the volume and decreasing the volume, the reverse operation can also include: turning pages forward and backward, turning the screen brightness up and lowering the screen brightness, or other operational pairs that can achieve the opposite effect of the same function. .

In the case where the manipulation device includes only one contact, the contact may be preset to correspond to a certain operation of the preset reverse operation pair, for example, the preset reverse operation pair is for increasing the volume and decreasing Volume, then the operation corresponding to the contact may be preset to increase the volume, and when the controller determines that the user operates the contact, the operation of increasing the volume may be performed; otherwise, if the preset is set The operation corresponding to the contact is: reducing the volume, then when the controller determines that the user operates the contact, the volume reduction operation can be performed.

In the specific implementation, it can also be improved on the basis of the above manner, so as to be used by the user. For example, the operation corresponding to the contact is preset to increase the volume, and the controller may perform an operation of increasing the volume according to a user operation, when the volume exceeds a first threshold (for example, a maximum volume supported by the smart device). Then, the volume reduction operation can be performed on the basis of the current volume level according to the user operation, and when the volume level is lower than the first threshold, the volume is further increased. For the case where the operation corresponding to the contact is preset to reduce the volume, and the other reverse operation pairs are preset, a similar implementation may be adopted, and details are not described herein again.

In the case where the manipulation device includes more than one (for example, two) contacts, the reverse operation pair can be set in advance as needed, and the corresponding operation is designated for each contact. For example, for the smart watch provided in this embodiment, the reverse operation pair may be preset to increase the volume and decrease the volume, wherein the operation corresponding to the upper contact is: increasing the volume, and the operation corresponding to the lower contact To: reduce the volume. That is, when the controller determines that the upper contact of the smart watch is the operated contact, the operation of increasing the volume may be performed, and if the lower contact is determined to be the operated contact, the operation of decreasing the volume may be performed. Please refer to FIG. 5 , which is a schematic diagram of the operation of adjusting the volume of the user's finger tapping the contact.

Further, if the control device is deployed on a smart device that can support multiple reverse operation pairs, the controller is specifically configured to select and intelligently select from a preset reverse operation pair after determining the operated contact The current application scenario of the device corresponds to the reverse operation pair and performs an operation corresponding to the operated contact.

For example, for a smartphone, the following three pairs of reverse operations are preset: increase volume and volume, page forward and page backward, and increase screen brightness and screen brightness. After the controller determines that the contact is operated, the current application scenario of the smartphone can be obtained by using the interface function provided by the system or by reading the data of the current running information of the recording system, if the current running scenario is running. For the music playback application, you can select the reverse operation pair for increasing the volume and decreasing the volume; if the image browsing application or the e-book application is currently running, you can select the reverse operation of page forward and page backward. Yes; if the application is not currently running, but the background desktop is displayed, you can choose the reverse operation pair that increases the screen brightness and reduces the screen brightness. After the reverse operation pair is selected according to the current application scenario, the operation corresponding to the operated contact can be performed.

In summary, the control device of the smart device provided by the embodiment detects the user's operation on the contact by using the sensor, and does not need to set a switch on the main board and perform the repair of the keycap, and the user only needs to perform the contact on the contact. Touch operation, etc., without having to enter the adjustment interface, can trigger the operation of performing the preset reverse operation alignment (for example, increasing the volume or decreasing the volume), thereby reducing the complexity of the hardware design and the processing process, and also Reduce the user's extra steps and enhance the user experience.
