As an example, the control method of the embodiment of the present invention may be implemented by the control device 100 of the embodiment of the present invention and applied to the smart wearable device 1000 for controlling the smart wearable device 1000.

The step S10 of the control mode of the embodiment of the present invention may be implemented by the processing module 10, or the processing module 10 is configured to process the user input of the gravity sensor and/or the finger detecting device 300 of the wrist wearing device 200 to control the display. 210 cursor.

Generally, the smart wearable device 1000, such as a smart wristband, a smart watch, or the like, is worn on one side of the wrist of the user. When the user needs to operate the smart wearable 1000 device, it is often required to operate through the non-wearing hand on the other side. In some scenarios, when the non-wearing hand is occupied, the user cannot perform timely operations on the smart wearable device, such as answering incoming calls, consulting information, etc., and the important information may be missed or delayed due to the user's inability to operate in time.

In some examples, the wrist wearing device 200 can be a smart wristband or smart watch or the like and worn on the wrist of the user, and the finger detecting device 300 can be integrated into the wrist wearing device 200, such as the finger detecting device 300. It may be a sensor that is capable of detecting the activity state of a finger on one side of the wrist wearing device 200.

In still other examples, the finger detecting device 300 can be disposed separately from the wrist wearing device 200 and communicatively coupled to the wrist wearing device 200. The finger detecting device 300 can be a smart ring, that is, the smart ring surface is provided with a user. Sensors that sense user input, such as capacitive touch screens, pressure sensors, etc., of course, include necessary control circuits, storage circuits, communication circuits, and power supplies, that is, the user needs to wear the wrist wearing device 200 and the finger detection at the same time. Device 300, wherein finger sensing device 300 can be worn on either side of the user's finger to detect that a user's finger is operating thereon.

In the control method of the embodiment of the present invention, the display 210 displays the target position of the display 210 to be operated to the user through the cursor display. The cursor may be a plurality of styles such as a mouse arrow and a floating dot, and is not limited herein. The cursor of the display 210 is controlled by processing the gravity sensor of the wrist wearing device 200 and/or the user input of the finger detecting device 300. So, through the wrist wearing device 200 and/or the finger detecting device 300 controls the cursor of the display 210 of the smart wearable device 1000, thereby completing the predetermined operation on the smart wearable device 1000, and the user can perform the operation on the smart wearable device 1000 with one hand without the need for hands. Operation improves the user experience.

Referring to FIG. 4, in some embodiments, the control method includes the steps of:

S00: Processing a user input of the finger detecting device to control the display to generate a cursor.

In some embodiments, step S00 can be implemented by processing module 10, or processing module 10 is further configured to process user input of finger detecting device 300 to control the display to generate a cursor.

In some examples, when the finger detecting device 300 is disposed separately from the wrist wearing device 200, the finger detecting device 300 may be a smart ring, and the control device 100 is configured to process a user input of the finger detecting device 300 to identify whether the user The smart ring is operated in a predetermined manner and controls the display 210 to generate a cursor when the user operates the smart ring in a predetermined manner.

Specifically, when the user needs to operate the wrist wearing device 200, the activation is performed by operating the finger detecting device 300, that is, the cursor is generated. It can be understood that the generated cursor is also the unlocking of the control of the smart wearable device 1000. The process, after unlocking or after generating the cursor, the user can further control the wearable device 1000. The predetermined manner of generating the user input of the cursor may be a predetermined operation of the user at the finger detecting device 300, such as a predetermined sliding, clicking or multi-clicking operation on the smart ring, thereby generating a cursor.

In other examples, when the finger detecting device 300 is integrally provided with the wrist wearing device 200, the finger detecting device 300 may be a surface myoelectric signal sensor disposed on a surface of the wrist wearing device 200 in contact with the user, the surface muscle Electrical signals are the combined effects of superficial muscle and neural stem activity on the surface of the skin, and more specifically, the bioelectrical changes of the neuromuscular system during random and involuntary activities are guided, amplified, displayed, and recorded by surface electrodes. The obtained one-dimensional voltage time series signal has an amplitude of about 0-5000 μV and a frequency of 0-1000 Hz. The signal shape has strong randomness and instability, and can reflect neuromuscular activity to a certain extent. In this way, the finger detecting device 300 can detect and recognize the muscle action of the user's finger, for example, the thumb presses the index finger, the thumb presses the middle finger, and the thumb and the index finger move away from each other. Of course, the finger detecting device 300 can also be integrated in The wrist wearing device 200, such as a smart watch or a radar in a smart bracelet, implements the same functions as the above-described sensors, and will not be described again. Similarly, control device 100 is operative to process user input of finger detection device 300 to identify whether the user is operating a muscle sensor or radar in a predetermined manner and to control display 210 to generate a cursor when the user operates the muscle sensor or radar in a predetermined manner. The predetermined manner of generating the user input of the cursor may be a predetermined gesture or action, such as a sliding between two fingers, a single machine or a multi-click, to generate a cursor.

Referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, in some embodiments, step S10 includes sub-steps:

S12: Process user input of the gravity sensor to control cursor movement.

In certain embodiments, step S12 can be implemented by processing module 10. In other words, the processing module 10 is configured to process user input of the gravity sensor to control cursor movement.

In some examples, the wrist wearing device 200 is integrated with a gravity sensor. After the cursor is generated, the user moves the wrist motion, for example, tilting the wrist in different directions, and the processing module 10 processes the gravity sensor to obtain the direction of the user's wrist motion. The cursor is thus moved to move so that the cursor reaches the position where the user wishes to enter the operation.

In other examples, step S10 includes sub-steps:

S12': User input of the finger detecting device is processed to control cursor movement.

In some embodiments, step S12' can be implemented by processing module 10, or processing module 10 can be used to process user input of finger detecting device 300 to control cursor movement.

Specifically, when the wrist wearing device 200 does not integrate the gravity sensor, it is necessary to operate the finger detecting device 300, thereby realizing the movement of the cursor. The finger detecting device 300 may be a smart ring, and the user input controlling the cursor movement may be a predetermined operation performed by the user on the smart ring. For example, after generating the cursor, the user first clicks the smart ring to select the cursor, and presses the smart ring. And slide in multiple directions to drag the cursor to move to the target position in the corresponding direction. Of course, the predetermined operations include, but are not limited to, the above manner, and are not limited herein.

Preferably, if the display content includes a plurality of display pages, when the cursor moves to a predetermined position of the current page edge of the display 210, the control display 210 displays the previous page or the next page of the current page. In this way, a jump between multiple display pages can be achieved. For example, when the cursor moves to a predetermined area below the left edge of the current page, if there is a previous page, it jumps to the previous page. If it does not exist, it stays on the current page, and the operation to jump to the next page is similar to this. I will not repeat them here.

Please refer to FIG. 7. Further, in some embodiments, step S10 further includes the substeps:

S14: Processing the user input of the finger detecting device to control the cursor to implement the left button function of the mouse.

In some embodiments, step S14 can be implemented by the processing module 10, or the processing module 10 can be used to process user input of the finger detection device 300 to control the cursor to implement the left button function of the mouse.

In some examples, when the finger detecting device 300 is disposed separately from the wrist wearing device 200, the finger detecting device 300 may be a smart ring, and the control device 100 is configured to process a user input of the finger detecting device 300 to identify whether the user The smart ring is operated in a predetermined manner, and the cursor is controlled to implement the left button function of the mouse when the user operates the smart ring in a predetermined manner.

Specifically, after the cursor is moved to the target position, a corresponding operation is performed on the target position by the user input of the smart ring in a predetermined manner, and the predetermined manner of the user input of operating the smart ring may be the predetermined operation of the user in the smart ring 300. .

Please refer to FIG. 8 to FIG. 10 . The following is an example of the operation of an application:

The user can slide on the smart ring to move the cursor accordingly. After the cursor is moved to the icon of the application, the user can click the smart ring to implement the operation of clicking the icon, and the corresponding left mouse button function is to open the application corresponding to the icon.
