Technical Field
The embodiment of the invention relates to a detection device, a detection method and electronic equipment. In particular, the invention relates to a detection device that can be worn on an arm, a corresponding detection method and an electronic apparatus comprising said detection device.
Background
With the development of communication technology, portable electronic devices such as portable computers, tablet computers, smart phones, and multimedia players are widely used. However, when the user generally needs to operate the portable electronic device using an operation body such as a finger or a touch pen, the user cannot leave the electronic device when performing the operation, and thus it is inconvenient for the user to perform other actions while operating the portable electronic device.
Although portability of electronic devices is improved and space occupied by electronic devices is reduced in order to further facilitate user portability, wrist band electronic devices such as wrist band mobile phones, wrist band music players, and the like have been proposed in recent years. However, the display screen of the existing wrist strap type electronic device is small, which is inconvenient for the user to view information. In addition, in the existing wrist-worn electronic device, the control keys are generally disposed around the display screen for ease of wearing. Since the display screen is small, the data amount of the control keys is limited, and it is difficult for the user to perform diversified control operations. Although a wrist-worn electronic device having a touch screen is proposed, it is disadvantageous for a user to accurately perform a touch input due to a small size of the touch screen in the wrist-worn electronic device.

Detailed Description
Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that in the present specification and the drawings, steps and elements having substantially the same structure are denoted by the same reference numerals, and repeated explanation of the steps and elements will be omitted.
In the following embodiments of the present invention, specific forms of electronic devices include, but are not limited to, mobile phones, personal digital assistants, multimedia players, and the like. Next, an electronic apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to fig. 1 and 2.
Fig. 1 shows a schematic view of a detection apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the electronic device 100 includes a strap member 110 and a pressure sensor array 120. Specifically, the band member 110 can be worn on the arm of the user. The pressure sensor array 120 includes a plurality of pressure sensor assemblies. The pressure sensor array 120 is disposed on the inner side of the band member 110, wherein the inner side of the band member 110 is a side facing the arm of the user when the band member 110 is worn on the arm of the user. Fig. 2 shows a schematic use state diagram of the detection apparatus 100 shown in fig. 1. As shown in fig. 2, the detection apparatus 100 may be worn on the arm of the user (e.g., worn on a wrist portion of the user) by the band member 110, and a pressure sensor array (not shown) disposed inside the band member 110 is in contact with the arm of the user when the band member 110 is worn on the arm of the user. When the arm and/or hand of the user moves, the muscle group and the bone position of the wrist and/or the arm are changed, which causes the pressure applied by the arm of the user to the pressure sensor array to be correspondingly changed. The array of pressure sensors may detect a current pressure caused by the arm of the user and generate a current pressure detection.
Returning to fig. 1, as shown in fig. 1, the pressure sensor array 120 may be disposed along the length of the band member 110 such that when the band member 110 is worn on the arm of the user, the pressure sensor array 120 disposed inside the band member 110 may encircle the arm of the user in order to detect changes in the current position of the muscle groups and/or bones of the arm of the user's arm in various directions.
As shown in fig. 1, strap member 110 may have a first end and a second end opposite the first end. In this case, the band member 110 may further include: a first connecting member 130 disposed on the first end and a second connecting member 140 disposed on the second end. The first and second connecting members 130 and 140 may form a band part in a ring shape according to the thickness of the arm of the user to be worn.
Further, the belt-like member in the detection apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto, and for example, the belt-like member may also be an annular belt-like member. Fig. 3 shows a schematic view of a detection apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 3, the sensing device 300 includes an annular band member 310 and a pressure sensor array 320. Specifically, the annular band member 310 can be worn on the arm of the user. The pressure sensor array 320 includes a plurality of pressure sensor assemblies. The pressure sensor array 320 is disposed inside the annular band member 310.
In order to enable the pressure sensor array to accurately detect the pressure currently caused by the arm of the user, the belt-shaped member in the above-described detection device may be an elastic belt-shaped member so that the pressure sensor array can be brought into close contact with the arm of the user when worn. Alternatively, the detection apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include an air supply part. When the band member is worn on the arm of the user, the air supply member inflates the band member to attach the pressure sensor array to the arm of the user.
In the detection apparatus according to the present embodiment, the detection apparatus including the pressure sensor array composed of the plurality of pressure sensors may be worn on the arm of the user to detect the pressure caused by the arm of the user and generate the pressure detection result, so that the user is not required to operate the portable electronic device by an operation body such as a finger, a touch pen, or the like, facilitating the user to perform other actions while performing a control operation.
In addition, with the detection device according to the embodiment, the input of the user can not be limited to the input area such as the touch sensitive panel arranged on the electronic equipment, so that even if the size of the electronic equipment is small, the user can conveniently perform various inputs on the electronic equipment, so that the electronic equipment can generate corresponding control instructions.
Furthermore, according to another example of the present invention, the electronic device shown in fig. 1 to 3 may further include an identification unit. The recognition unit may determine a current posture of the user's arm and/or hand from the current pressure detection result. For example, the detection device may further include a storage unit. The storage unit may store the posture correspondence table in advance. The posture correspondence table indicates a correspondence relationship of a predetermined pressure detection result and a posture of an arm and/or a hand of the user. The recognition unit may compare the current pressure detection result with a predetermined pressure detection result stored in a pre-stored gesture correspondence table to determine the current gesture of the arm and/or hand of the user.
Specifically, according to one example of the present invention, the predetermined pressure detection result includes a plurality of predetermined component positions obtained in advance, wherein when the band-shaped member is worn on the arm of the user and the posture of the arm and/or the hand is in a specific posture, the pressure caused by the arm of the user detected by the pressure sensor component located at the predetermined component position corresponding to the specific posture exceeds the second pressure threshold. And the recognition unit may determine, from the current pressure detection result, a target component position matching a position at which a pressure sensor component that detects that the pressure caused by the user's arm exceeds the second pressure threshold is located, among the plurality of predetermined component positions, and determine the user's current arm and/or hand posture from the component positions. This will be further explained below in conjunction with fig. 4 to 8.
Fig. 4 to 8 are diagrams illustrating an example in which the detection apparatus is worn on the wrist of the user through a band member according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the user's index finger is raised. In this case, as shown in fig. 4, the pressure caused by the arm of the user detected by the black pressure sensor assembly in the pressure sensor array exceeds the second pressure threshold. The position of the black pressure sensor element in the pressure sensor array may be obtained and stored in advance as a predetermined element position corresponding to the gesture of the index finger raising. When the current pressure detection result indicates that the position of the pressure sensor assembly, which currently detects that the pressure caused by the arm of the user exceeds the second pressure threshold value, matches the predetermined assembly position shown in fig. 4, the recognition unit may determine that the current hand gesture of the user is index finger lift.
In the example shown in fig. 5, the user raises his or her hands. In this case, as shown in fig. 5, the pressure caused by the arm of the user detected by the black pressure sensor assembly in the pressure sensor array exceeds the second pressure threshold. The position where the black pressure sensor element in the pressure sensor array is located can be obtained and stored in advance as a predetermined element position corresponding to the hand-raising gesture. When the current pressure detection result indicates that the position of the pressure sensor component, at which the pressure caused by the arm of the user is currently detected to exceed the second pressure threshold, matches the predetermined component position shown in fig. 5, the recognition unit may determine that the current hand posture of the user is a handful.
In the example shown in fig. 6, the user is hooked. In this case, as shown in fig. 6, the pressure caused by the arm of the user detected by the black pressure sensor assembly in the pressure sensor array exceeds the second pressure threshold. The position where the black pressure sensor element in the pressure sensor array is located can be obtained and stored in advance as a predetermined element position corresponding to the gesture of hooking hands. When the current pressure detection result indicates that the position of the pressure sensor assembly, at which the pressure caused by the arm of the user is currently detected to exceed the second pressure threshold, matches the predetermined assembly position shown in fig. 6, the recognition unit may determine that the current hand gesture of the user is a hook hand.
In the example shown in fig. 7, the user makes a fist. In this case, as shown in fig. 7, the pressure caused by the arm of the user detected by the black pressure sensor assembly in the pressure sensor array exceeds the second pressure threshold. The position where the black pressure sensor element in the pressure sensor array is located can be obtained and stored in advance as a predetermined element position corresponding to the fist-making gesture. When the current pressure detection result indicates that the position of the pressure sensor assembly, at which the pressure caused by the arm of the user is currently detected to exceed the second pressure threshold value, matches the predetermined assembly position shown in fig. 7, the recognition unit may determine that the current hand posture of the user is a fist.
In the example shown in fig. 8, the user's five fingers are open. In this case, as shown in fig. 8, the pressure caused by the arm of the user detected by the black pressure sensor assembly in the pressure sensor array exceeds the second pressure threshold. The position where the black pressure sensor element in the pressure sensor array is located can be obtained and stored in advance as a predetermined element position corresponding to the gesture of opening the five fingers. When the current pressure detection result indicates that the position of the pressure sensor assembly, at which the pressure caused by the arm of the user is currently detected to exceed the second pressure threshold value, matches the predetermined assembly position shown in fig. 8, the recognition unit may determine that the gesture of the current hand of the user is five-finger open.
Further alternatively, according to an example of the present invention, the predetermined pressure detection result includes a plurality of predetermined pressure detection areas obtained in advance, wherein when the band-shaped member is worn on the arm of the user and the posture of the arm and/or the hand is in a specific posture, the pressure caused by the arm of the user detected by the pressure sensor assembly in the predetermined pressure detection area corresponding to the specific posture exceeds the second pressure threshold. The recognition unit may determine, among a plurality of predetermined pressure detection regions, a target pressure detection region where the pressure sensor assembly that detects that the pressure caused by the arm of the user exceeds the second pressure threshold value is located, according to the current pressure detection result, and determine the current posture of the arm and/or hand of the user, according to the target pressure detection region.
For example, in the example shown in FIG. 4, the user's index finger is raised. In this case, as shown in fig. 4, the pressure caused by the arm of the user detected by the black pressure sensor assembly in the pressure sensor array exceeds the second pressure threshold, and the detection means may determine that the area a (shown by the dotted line in fig. 4) including the black pressure sensor assembly is a predetermined pressure detection area corresponding to the gesture of the index finger raising. When the current pressure detection result indicates that the pressure sensor assembly currently detecting that the pressure caused by the arm of the user exceeds the second pressure threshold is located in the region a shown in fig. 4, the recognition unit may determine that the current hand gesture of the user is index finger lift.
In the example shown in fig. 5, the user raises his or her hands. In this case, as shown in fig. 5, the pressure caused by the arm of the user detected by the black pressure sensor element in the pressure sensor array exceeds the second pressure threshold, and the detection means may determine that the region B (shown by the dotted line in fig. 5) including the black pressure sensor element is a predetermined pressure detection region corresponding to the hand-raising gesture. The recognition unit may determine that the current hand posture of the user is a hands-on when the current pressure detection result indicates that the pressure sensor component currently detecting that the pressure caused by the arm of the user exceeds the second pressure threshold is located in the region B shown in fig. 5.
In the example shown in fig. 6, the user is hooked. In this case, as shown in fig. 6, the pressure caused by the arm of the user detected by the black pressure sensor element in the pressure sensor array exceeds the second pressure threshold, and the detection device may determine that the region C (shown by the dotted line in fig. 6) including the black pressure sensor element is a predetermined pressure detection region corresponding to the gesture of hooking the hand. When the current pressure detection result indicates that the pressure sensor assembly currently detecting that the pressure caused by the arm of the user exceeds the second pressure threshold is located in the region C shown in fig. 6, the recognition unit may determine that the gesture of the current hand of the user is a hook hand.
In the example shown in fig. 7, the user makes a fist. In this case, as shown in fig. 7, the pressure caused by the arm of the user detected by the black pressure sensor component in the pressure sensor array exceeds the second pressure threshold, and the detection means may determine that the region D (shown by the dotted line in fig. 7) including the black pressure sensor component is a predetermined pressure detection region corresponding to the gesture of making a fist. When the current pressure detection result indicates that the pressure sensor assembly that currently detects that the pressure caused by the arm of the user exceeds the second pressure threshold is located in the region D shown in fig. 7, the recognition unit may determine that the current hand posture of the user is a fist.
In the example shown in fig. 8, the user's five fingers are open. In this case, as shown in fig. 8, the pressure caused by the arm of the user detected by the black pressure sensor assembly in the pressure sensor array exceeds the second pressure threshold. The sensing device may determine that an area E (shown by a dotted line in fig. 8) including the black pressure sensor assembly is a predetermined pressure sensing area corresponding to a gesture of opening five fingers. When the current pressure detection result indicates that the pressure sensor assembly currently detecting that the pressure caused by the arm of the user exceeds the second pressure threshold is located in the region E shown in fig. 8, the recognition unit may determine that the gesture of the current hand of the user is that the five fingers are open.
Further, as described above, when the belt-shaped member is worn on the arm of the user, the pressure sensor array provided inside the belt-shaped member is in contact with the arm of the user, and therefore, even in the case where the arm and/or hand of the user does not make a specific motion, the pressure sensor array may detect the pressure caused by the arm of the user. Therefore, according to one example of the present invention, the first pressure threshold may be set to the detection means in advance. When the pressure caused by the arm of the user indicated by the current pressure detection result obtained by the pressure sensor array exceeds the first pressure threshold, the recognition unit may determine the gesture of the current arm and/or hand of the user according to the current pressure detection result. Thus, the processing required by the detection device can be reduced, and the misoperation of the user is avoided.
Furthermore, according to another example of the present invention, the detection apparatus may further include a processing unit. The processing unit may generate the control instruction in dependence on the current arm and/or hand gesture of the user as determined by the recognition unit.
Although in the above embodiments, the description has been made taking the example in which the detection device includes the identification unit, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, according to another example of the present invention, the detection apparatus may further include a transmission unit. The transmitting unit may transmit the pressure detection result to the electronic device that establishes the data link with the detecting device, and the electronic device may determine a posture of the current arm and/or hand of the user according to the pressure detection result and generate the control instruction according to the determined posture of the current arm and/or hand of the user. In embodiments consistent with the invention, an electronic device may include, but is not limited to, a personal computer, a portable computer, a tablet computer, a smart phone, a game player, and/or a multimedia player, among others.
Next, a detection method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to fig. 9. FIG. 9 is a flow chart depicting a detection method 900 according to an embodiment of the invention. The detection method 900 may be used with a detection device as shown in fig. 1-8. In this embodiment, the detection means may comprise a band-shaped member capable of being worn on the arm of the user and a pressure sensor array of a plurality of pressure sensor assemblies. Specifically, the pressure sensor array is disposed on the inner side of the belt-like member, wherein the inner side of the belt-like member is the side that faces the arm of the user when the belt-like member is worn on the arm of the user.
As shown in fig. 9, in step S901, when the belt-shaped member is worn on the arm of the user and the pressure sensor array is in contact with the arm of the user, the pressure currently caused by the arm of the user is detected by the pressure sensor array, and a current pressure detection result is generated. In particular, the detection device may be worn on the arm of the user (e.g., worn on a wrist portion of the user) by a strap member. When the band-shaped member is worn on the arm of the user, the pressure sensor array (not shown) disposed inside the band-shaped member is in contact with the arm of the user, and when the arm and/or hand of the user moves, the positions of muscles and bones of the wrist and/or arm change, which causes the pressure applied by the arm of the user to the pressure sensor array to change accordingly. In step S901, the pressure sensor array detects the pressure currently caused by the arm of the user, and generates a current pressure detection result.
In step S902, the posture of the current arm and/or hand of the user is determined according to the current pressure detection result. According to an example of the present invention, the detection method illustrated in fig. 9 may further include storing a gesture correspondence table in advance, wherein the gesture correspondence table indicates a correspondence relationship of the predetermined pressure detection result and the gesture of the arm and/or hand of the user. And in step S902, the current pressure detection result is compared with a predetermined pressure detection result stored in a pre-stored gesture correspondence table to determine the current gesture of the arm and/or hand of the user.
Specifically, according to one example of the present invention, the predetermined pressure detection result includes a plurality of predetermined component positions obtained in advance, wherein when the band-shaped member is worn on the arm of the user and the posture of the arm and/or the hand is in a specific posture, the pressure caused by the arm of the user detected by the pressure sensor component located at the predetermined component position corresponding to the specific posture exceeds the second pressure threshold. In step S902, a target component position matching a position where a pressure sensor component detecting that the pressure caused by the arm of the user exceeds the second pressure threshold is located may be determined among a plurality of predetermined component positions according to the current pressure detection result, and the current arm and/or hand posture of the user may be determined according to the component positions.
Further alternatively, according to an example of the present invention, the predetermined pressure detection result includes a plurality of predetermined pressure detection areas obtained in advance, wherein when the band-shaped member is worn on the arm of the user and the posture of the arm and/or the hand is in a specific posture, the pressure caused by the arm of the user detected by the pressure sensor assembly in the predetermined pressure detection area corresponding to the specific posture exceeds the second pressure threshold. In step S902, a target pressure detection area in which a pressure sensor assembly that detects that the pressure caused by the arm of the user exceeds the second pressure threshold value is located may be determined among a plurality of predetermined pressure detection areas according to the current pressure detection result, and the posture of the current arm and/or hand of the user may be determined according to the target pressure detection area.
Further, as described above, when the belt-shaped member is worn on the arm of the user, the pressure sensor array provided inside the belt-shaped member is in contact with the arm of the user, and therefore, even in the case where the arm and/or hand of the user does not make a specific motion, the pressure sensor array may detect the pressure caused by the arm of the user. Therefore, according to an example of the present invention, the method shown in fig. 9 may further include setting a first pressure threshold in advance, and in step S902, when the pressure caused by the arm of the user indicated by the current pressure detection result exceeds the first pressure threshold, determining the current posture of the arm and/or hand of the user according to the current pressure detection result. Thus, the processing required by the detection device can be reduced, and the misoperation of the user is avoided.
Finally, in step S903, a control instruction may be generated according to the determined current arm and/or hand posture of the user. In the detection method according to the embodiment of the invention, the detection device comprising the pressure sensor array composed of the plurality of pressure sensors can be worn on the arm of the user to detect the pressure caused by the arm of the user and generate the pressure detection result, so that the user is not required to operate the portable electronic equipment through an operation body such as a finger and a touch pen, and the user is convenient to control and operate and perform other actions at the same time.
In addition, by the detection method according to the embodiment of the invention, the input of the user can not be limited in the input area such as the touch sensitive panel arranged on the electronic equipment, so that the user can conveniently perform various inputs to the electronic equipment even if the size of the electronic equipment is small, so that the electronic equipment can generate corresponding control instructions.
Further, according to an embodiment of the present invention, there may be provided an electronic device including the detection apparatus as shown in fig. 1 to 8. In embodiments consistent with the invention, an electronic device may include, but is not limited to, a personal computer, a portable computer, a tablet computer, a smart phone, a game player, and/or a multimedia player, among others. Optionally, the electronic device according to the present embodiment may further include an identification unit and a processing unit. The recognition unit may determine a current arm and/or hand posture of the user according to the current pressure detection result. And the processing unit may generate the control instruction according to the current arm and/or hand posture of the user determined by the recognition unit. According to one example of the invention, the identification unit and the processing unit may be integrated in the detection device. Alternatively, according to another example of the present invention, the identification unit and the processing unit are provided in a main casing of the electronic apparatus which is independent from the detection device. In this case, the electronic device may further include a transmission unit. The transmission unit may transmit the pressure detection result obtained by the detection device to the identification unit.
