detailed description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in the following with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to Figures 1-3, a schematic diagram of a teeing system 10 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The teeing system 10 includes a ball machine 20 and a wearable device 30 that controls the ball machine 20. The ball machine 20 may be a badminton serve machine, a table tennis ball machine, a tennis ball machine, a basketball ball machine, or the like. The ball machine 20 is provided with an adjustment mechanism for adjusting various parameters of the serve, such as the serve speed, the serve curve, the serve angle, the serve height, the serve distance, the serve strength, the serve frequency, and the like. The tee machine 20 is provided with a wireless communication module for receiving a control signal of the wearable device 30.

The wearable device 30 is for wearing on the user's body to facilitate the user's operation. In this embodiment, the wearable device 30 is a wristband that can be placed on the wrist of the user. on. The wearable device 30 includes a substrate 32, a wireless communication module 34 that is secured to the substrate 32, a controller 36, a power source 38, and a control panel 39. The substrate 32 is made of a flexible and tensile material such as fabric, rubber or the like. The control panel 39 is fixed to the surface of the substrate 32. The wireless communication module 34, the controller 36, and the power source 38 are integrated in the protective cover 31 at one end of the substrate 32. Of course, the wireless communication module 34, the controller 36, and the power source 38 can also be disposed under the control panel 39, depending on the requirements.

The control panel 39 is for sensing an operation action of the user and then generating an operation signal. The controller 36 reads the operation signal and converts it into a control signal, which is sent to the wireless communication module 34. The wireless communication module 34 wirelessly transmits control signals to the wireless communication module of the ball machine 20, thereby controlling the teeing parameters of the ball machine 20.

In this embodiment, the control panel 39 is a flexible touch panel that is attached to the upper surface of the substrate 32. Since the flexible touch panel has flexibility, the substrate 32 can be attached to the wrist of the human body to improve the comfort of the human body. Moreover, the flexible touch panel is made of a transparent material, so that the overall appearance of the wearable device 30 is not affected, and the design is more flexible. In the present embodiment, the flexible touch panel substantially occupies the entire upper surface of the substrate 32, and it is understood that a flexible touch panel may be provided only in a portion of the substrate 32 in order to save cost. Of course, the flexible touch panel can also be attached to the lower surface of the substrate 32 or sandwiched between the multilayer substrates 32, depending on the requirements.

The flexible touchpad can sense various touch actions or gestures made by the user on its surface to generate corresponding touch operation signals. After receiving the touch operation signal, the controller 36 parses it and compares it with a pre-stored database to determine which parameter control mode the touch action represents. The controller 36 sends a corresponding control signal to the wireless communication module 34 according to the determined parameter control mode. For example, sliding up and down along the length of the wrist means increasing or decreasing the frequency of serving; moving left and right along the circumference of the wrist means increasing or decreasing the speed of the serve; sliding up and down along the length of the wrist means raising or lowering Serving angle; sliding left and right along the circumference of the wrist means increasing or decreasing the distance of the teeing and so on. Moreover, the stroke of the finger sliding represents the magnitude of the adjustment, that is, the longer the distance the finger slides, the larger the adjustment of the serving parameters of the ball machine 20. Further, the wearable device 30 can also be connected to a portable electronic device (such as a mobile phone or a tablet) through the wireless communication module 34, and the different service parameters can be set by the portable electronic device. Number control gestures.

Further, a motion sensor 33 such as a speed sensor, an acceleration sensor, a direction sensor, a position sensor, and the like may be integrated into the wearable device 30. The motion sensor 33 automatically collects various motion parameters of the user during training by the user and transmits them to the controller 36. The controller 36 calculates the correction range of the teeing parameters based on the current motion parameters of the user. When the user actively makes an operation gesture on the control panel 39, the controller 36 will correct the operation touch signal according to the data transmitted by the current motion sensor 33 to more adapt to the user's training situation. For example, the user greatly adjusts the height of the serve, and the controller 36 determines, according to the data of the motion sensor 33, how much the teeing height needs to be greatly increased, and then adds the correction amount to adjust, so that the serving parameters are more suitable for the current training state of the user. Further, the controller 36 can also be configured not to calculate the sliding stroke of the gesture on the control panel 39, but only recognize the sliding direction of the gesture and the number of fingers, and the task of adjusting the amplitude of the serving parameter is completely transferred to the controller 36 according to the motion sensor 33. The feedback parameters are judged by themselves. For example, when the user uses the two fingers to slide along the length of the wrist, regardless of the sliding distance of the two fingers, the controller 36 does not count the sliding stroke of the two fingers, but only considers the double finger sliding. process. That is, the controller 36 will only parse out the instructions that need to move the serve angle up. At the same time, the controller 36 automatically calculates the angle that needs to be moved up by the feedback action parameter of the motion sensor 33, and then issues a control signal to adjust the ball machine 20. Thereby, the adjustment of the teeing parameters is made more intelligent.

Since the wearable device 30 can wirelessly control the teeing parameters of the ball machine 20, the user can control without having to go to the ball machine 20. Moreover, the user can wear the wearable device 30 on the body, so that the user does not have to stop the action in the hand when controlling the wearable device 30, and can be completed between the two connected actions, which can effectively reduce the interference factor and make the user Can concentrate on training. In addition, since the touch is controlled, the user only needs to draw a corresponding gesture on the flexible touch panel to conveniently implement the control, thereby further improving the user experience and minimizing interference factors.

It can be understood that the control panel 39 can also be other control mechanisms as long as it can control. For example, the control panel 39 can be a knob fixed on the substrate 32, and different pinning parameters can be switched by adjusting different positions of the knob; or the control panel 39 can be a toggle switch fixed on the substrate 32, by dialing up and down Move to switch between different hair Ball parameters. Of course, the best solution is still the flexible touchpad, because it provides the most convenient and fast control.

It can also be understood that the wearable device 30 is not limited to the aforementioned wristband, and may also be a device worn on other parts of the human body, such as an armband, a waistband or even a front chest position directly integrated into the clothes, as long as it is convenient. The effect of the adjustment can be.

The present invention still further provides a service control method comprising the steps of: 1. performing an operation action on the wearable device 30; 2. the wear device 30 generates a control signal according to the operation action, and transmitting it to the ball machine 20 by wireless; 3. serving The machine 20 adjusts the teeing parameters according to the control signal. When the motion sensor 33 is used, the control signal includes a correction signal generated by the controller 36 based on the detection parameters of the motion sensor 33. And, the operation action can be customized by connecting the portable electronic device before step 1 to obtain a personalized operation experience.
