detailed description

The invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings in conjunction with the embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict.

It is to be understood that the terms "first", "second" and the like in the specification and claims of the present invention are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a particular order or order.

Example 1

The method embodiment provided in Embodiment 1 of the present application can be executed in a mobile terminal, a computer terminal or the like. Taking a VR device as an example, FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a hardware structure of a mobile terminal in a method for configuring a VR device according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, VR device 10 may include one or more (only one shown) processor 102 (processor 102 may include, but is not limited to, a processing device such as a microprocessor MCU or a programmable logic device FPGA) A memory 104 that is configured to store data, and a transmission device 106 that is configured as a communication function. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the structure shown in FIG. 1 is merely illustrative and does not limit the structure of the above electronic device. For example, VR device 10 may also include more or fewer components than shown in FIG. 1, or have a different configuration than that shown in FIG.

The memory 104 can be configured as a software program and a module for storing application software, such as program instructions/modules corresponding to the configuration method of the virtual reality VR device in the embodiment of the present invention, and the processor 102 runs the software program and the module stored in the memory 104. In order to perform various functional applications and data processing, the above method is implemented. Memory 104 may include high speed random access memory, and may also include non-volatile memory such as one or more magnetic storage devices, flash memory, or other non-volatile solid state memory. In some examples, memory 104 may further include memory remotely located relative to processor 102, which may be connected to VR device 10 over a network. Examples of such networks include, but are not limited to, the Internet, intranets, local area networks, mobile communication networks, and combinations thereof.

Transmission device 106 is arranged to receive or transmit data via a network. The above-described network specific examples may include a wireless network provided by a communication provider of the VR device 10. In one example, the transmission device 106 includes a Network Interface Controller (NIC) that can be connected to other network devices through a base station to communicate with the Internet. In one example, the transmission device 106 can be a Radio Frequency (RF) module for communicating with the Internet wirelessly.

In this embodiment, a configuration method of a virtual reality VR device running on the VR device is provided. FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a VR device configuration method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The process includes the following steps:

Step S202, acquiring electromagnetic parameters of a user who is currently using the VR device, and querying specified user information corresponding to the electromagnetic parameter;

Specifically, the electromagnetic parameter of the user includes at least: an absorption ratio of electromagnetic waves to various parts of the user's human body.

It should be noted that the wireless modules in the VR device, such as the GPS module, the WiFi module, the Bluetooth module, the LTE module, etc., all generate corresponding magnetic fields. Of course, it is also possible to pass the RF transmitter set in the VR device. Different parts of the human body have different absorption ratios for the above magnetic fields. For example, for example, the VR helmet corresponds to the sensing parameter of the head, and the remote controller corresponds to the sensing parameter of the arm. At the same time, because each person's height, weight and body shape are different, different users have the same absorption ratio in the same part. Therefore, by analyzing the absorption ratio of the human body to electromagnetic waves, it is possible to determine not only the part of the human body but also the currently used user.

Specifically, the specified user information refers to a name, a nickname, and the like of a user who has used the VR device to uniquely determine the identity of the user.

In step S204, if the specified user information is queried, the configuration parameter corresponding to the specified user information is obtained, and the configuration parameter is configured on the VR device.

Optionally, the configuration parameter includes at least one of: a distance between a lens of the VR device and the user, and a sensitivity of the sensor in the VR device.

Optionally, if the specified user information is not queried, it is determined that the user currently using the VR device does not belong to the user who has configured the configuration parameter in the VR device. Therefore, the related information of the user needs to be acquired and stored.

Optionally, establishing a mapping relationship between the electromagnetic parameter and the user information of the user, and storing the mapping relationship.

Optionally, the user information is determined to be specified user information, and configuration parameters corresponding to the user information are stored.

It should be noted that the above-mentioned mapping relationship and configuration parameters that need to be stored may exist in the memory in the VR device, and may also be stored in the service cloud with the stored function. For example, if the user is offline, the VR device can call the memory therein for storage. If the user uses the wireless network, the VR device can also call the service cloud corresponding to the VR device for storage.

At the same time, in the process of querying the specified user information corresponding to the electromagnetic parameter and acquiring the configuration parameter corresponding to the specified user information, the VR device calls the memory therein to read, or may be performed from the service cloud of the VR device. Read.

4. After finding the corresponding mapping relationship, obtain the user's name "Zhang San" and nickname "VR device". At the same time, the distance between the user "Zhang San" and the lens of the VR device is also obtained.

5, according to the distance of the obtained user "Zhang San" and the lens of the VR device, VR adjusts the lens.

Scene 2

The user is using the VR remote control for the first time.

1. The user turns on the wireless communication function of the VR helmet, and then takes the VR remote controller in his hand.

2. A magnetic field is emitted through the LTE communication module therein, and the absorption ratio of the user's head to the magnetic field is detected.

4. If the corresponding mapping relationship is not found, it is determined that the user who uses the VR remote controller is a new user, and prompts the user to input user information.

5. Calculate the mapping relationship of the new user according to the detected absorption ratio and the user information input by the user, and save it in the memory in the VR remote controller.

6. Obtain the sensitivity value of the user adjustment sensor and save the sensitivity value in the memory in the VR remote controller.

Through the above steps, the problem that the VR device adjustment in the related art has poor user experience is solved in the related art, and the effect of quickly configuring the VR device without user participation is achieved.
