The terminal sends a handshake message. If the handshake message response message returned by the electronic device terminal is received within the first preset time period, for example, 30 seconds or 60 seconds, the oral endoscope and the electronic device terminal successfully handshake and can communicate. After that, the oral endoscope performs image acquisition operation, which can improve the working efficiency of the oral endoscope.

Further, if the handshake message response message returned by the electronic device terminal is not received within the first preset time period, the endoscope software opening prompt signal of the electronic device terminal is sent to the base 5, so that the base 5 is according to the electronic device. The terminal endoscope software turns on the prompt signal to send a prompt message to the user.

That is, after the oral endoscope is turned on, the main control module 42 in the handle 22 sends a handshake message to the electronic device terminal. If the returned handshake message response message is not received within the first preset time period, the oral endoscope is indicated. If the handshake with the electronic device terminal is unsuccessful, the main control module 42 of the oral endoscope sends the endoscope software opening prompt signal of the electronic device terminal to the base 5 through the wireless communication module 41, and the base 5 receives the endoscope software of the electronic device terminal. After the prompt signal is turned on, the user can send a voice prompt message, for example, the prompt content is: unable to connect to the endoscopic application software on the electronic device terminal, prompting you to open the software and keep the wireless connection unblocked.

The user identity may be a password corresponding to the user or a biometric of the user, for example, a voice, a fingerprint, a face, and the like.

For example, the electronic device terminal prompts the current user to read a piece of text or read a piece of voice, or invokes a camera of the electronic device terminal to capture a user's face, and obtains the identity information of the current user, the user corresponding to the device identifier of the oral endoscope. The identity information is compared and judged whether they are consistent and verified.

For another example, the electronic device terminal prompts the current user to input a digital password or a dot pattern password, compares the received password with a preset password of the user corresponding to the device identifier of the oral endoscope, determines whether the password is consistent, and performs verification. .

Further, if the user identity verification fails, the electronic device terminal sends a voice or text prompt to the user. For example, the prompt content is: the oral endoscope belongs to other users, please use your own oral endoscope to contact Customer service consultation.

Step 110: Send image information of the user to the electronic device terminal, so that the electronic device terminal performs three-dimensional image synthesis on the image information of the user.

In the embodiment of the present application, the oral endoscope collects image information of the user, and the electronic device terminal performs three-dimensional image synthesis, because the oral endoscope is used to collect the oral image information of the user, if the user removes the oral endoscope from the mouth or If the image information collected by the oral endoscope is not in the oral image information, therefore, in order to ensure the correct and effective three-dimensional image synthesis of the oral image information, it is necessary to further determine whether the oral endoscope is placed in the oral cavity. After performing step 110, the method further includes:

If, within the second preset duration, the oral endoscope that has not been received by the electronic device terminal has been placed into the oral confirmation message, the handle 22 of the oral endoscope is activated to be placed in the base 5, and the cause value is: in the oral cavity. The speculum always has no entrance cavity for scanning operations.

Among them, the prompt to put the handle 22 into the base 5, specifically:

The main control module 42 sends a prompt signal for returning the handle 22 to the base 5 to the electronic device terminal and the base 5, respectively, so that the electronic device terminal and the base 5 respectively send a first prompt message to the user according to the prompt signal for putting the handle 22 back to the base 5. Wherein the oral endoscope has placed an oral confirmation message, which is determined by the electronic device terminal according to the received image of the user and a preset image pattern recognition algorithm.

For example, the first prompt message is that the oral endoscope has not been placed in the entrance cavity for scanning operation, prompting you to put the handle 22 back to the base 5.

Specifically, the main control module 42 of the intraoral speculum transmits the image information stored in the storage module 43 to the electronic device terminal through the wireless communication module 41, and then the electronic device terminal performs image pattern recognition to determine whether it is oral image information. If yes, it can be judged that the oral endoscope has been placed in the oral cavity, and the oral endoscope is sent to the oral control unit 42 of the oral endoscope to put the oral confirmation message, otherwise, the oral endoscope is not sent into the oral cavity. Confirm the message.

Thus, in the embodiment of the present application, it is determined whether the oral endoscope is placed in the oral cavity, and if the oral endoscope is placed in the oral cavity, the electronic device terminal or the cloud continues to perform three-dimensional image synthesis, if the oral endoscope is never placed Oral, the user can be prompted to put the handle 22 back to the base 5, without image acquisition, reducing the invalid image capture of the oral endoscope.

Further, in the process of performing the three-dimensional image synthesis on the image information of the user by the electronic device terminal, the following operation flow may also be included:

1) When the shooting task is completed:

First, the main control module 42 of the oral endoscope receives a photographing task completion message sent by the electronic device terminal, and sends a photographing task completion signal to the base 5, so that the base 5 sends a signal to the user according to the photographing task completion signal. The third prompt information; wherein the photographing task has completed the message, which is sent after the electronic device terminal determines that the three-dimensional image is synthesized.

Specifically, the main control module 42 sends a photographing task completion signal to the base 5 through the wireless communication module 41. After receiving the photographing task completion signal, the base 5 sends a third prompt message to the user, for example, a voice prompt information. The third prompt message content is: You have successfully completed the oral endoscopic shooting task.

Then, the main control module 42 sends a prompt signal for returning the handle 22 to the base 5 to the electronic device terminal and the base 5, respectively, so that the base 5 and the electronic device terminal respectively send a prompt signal to the user according to the handle 22 being placed back to the base 5, respectively. Second prompt message.

For example, the second prompt message is: the shooting task has been completed, prompting you to put the handle 22 back to the base 5.

2) When the communication connection is abnormal:

In the first case, the electronic device terminal sends a communication connection message to the oral endoscope according to the second preset period. If the communication connection response message returned by the oral endoscope is not received, the user is prompted. The communication is not working properly.

For example, the electronic device terminal broadcasts a voice prompt or displays a prompt message on the screen, the prompt content is: because the communication between the oral endoscope and the oral endoscope application software is abnormal, prompting you to check the oral endoscope Communication connection.

The second case: if the oral endoscope main control module 42 does not receive the communication connection message sent by the electronic terminal device within the fourth preset time period, the endoscope software opening prompt signal of the electronic device terminal is sent to the base 5, The base 5 sends a fourth prompt message to the user according to the electronic device terminal endoscope software opening prompt signal.

For example, the content of the fourth prompt information is: unable to connect to the endoscopic application software on the electronic device terminal, prompting you to open the software and keep the wireless connection unblocked.

Thereafter, the oral endoscope continues to send a handshake message to the electronic device terminal to determine whether a handshake message response message returned by the electronic device terminal is received.

Further, if the main control module 42 determines that the number of consecutive endoscopic software opening prompt signals of the electronic device terminal to the base 5 reaches a set number, the main controller 5 sends a prompt signal for returning the handle 22 to the base 5 to the base 5 to The base 5 is caused to send a fifth prompt message to the user according to the prompt signal that the handle 22 is placed back to the base 5.

For example, if the number of settings is 5, the main control module 42 sends the electronic device terminal endoscope software opening prompt signal to the base 5 5 times, indicating that the endoscope software of the electronic device terminal has not been turned on, and the oral endoscope communicates with the electronic device terminal. If it is not normal, the handle 22 can be put back to the base 5 for prompting. The reason is that the electronic device terminal endoscopic application software has not been activated for a long time.

After the base 5 receives the prompt signal of putting the handle 22 back to the base 5, for example, the fifth prompt information is sent by voice, and the content of the fifth prompt information is: because the electronic device terminal endoscope application software has not been activated for a long time, prompting you to put the handle 22 Put it back on the base 5.

3) Determine if the oral endoscope has been removed from the mouth:

The first case: the electronic device terminal determines whether the oral endoscope has been taken out of the oral cavity according to the received image of the user and a preset image pattern recognition algorithm, and if so, sends the oral endoscope to the oral endoscope The message is taken out of the mouth and the three-dimensional image synthesis is stopped, and if not, the three-dimensional image synthesis is continued.

The second case: if the oral endoscope receives the message that the oral endoscope sent by the electronic device terminal has taken out the oral cavity, it starts to determine whether to receive the timing of the oral endoscope has been put into the oral confirmation message, and continues to judge Within two preset durations, whether or not the oral endoscope sent by the electronic device terminal has been placed into the oral confirmation message.

In the embodiment of the present application, in the process of performing three-dimensional image synthesis, the electronic device terminal periodically determines, for example, every 1 second or 2 seconds, whether the oral endoscope is taken out from the oral cavity, and if it has been taken out, the electronic device The terminal can stop the three-dimensional image synthesis and improve the accuracy of the three-dimensional image synthesis of the oral cavity.

It is worth noting that the removal of the oral endoscope from the oral cavity does not end the endoscopic procedure. Only when the oral endoscope is placed back to the base 5 will this endoscopic procedure be terminated, whenever the oral endoscope is from When the base 5 is taken out, a new endoscopic process is restarted, and the operation is started from the oral endoscope.

Further, after the oral endoscope is completely turned off, the charging operation flow can be performed, specifically:

The oral endoscope receives the radio energy transmitted by the base 5, and obtains and stores the electric energy according to the received radio energy, and transmits to the base 5 when detecting that the electric energy in the oral endoscope reaches the preset maximum electric energy capacity. The charging signal is stopped so that the base 5 stops transmitting wireless energy to the oral endoscope according to the stop charging signal.

It is apparent that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the embodiments of the present application without departing from the spirit and scope of the application. Thus, it is intended that the present invention cover the modifications and variations of the present invention.
