The present embodiment does not particularly limit in this regard.
It may be appreciated that the application may be a native application (nativeApp) installed on the terminal, or a webpage application (webApp) of a browser on the terminal. This is not limited in the present embodiment.
As such, the purpose of obtaining an actual wearing state of the wearable device is achieved by obtaining the space quaternion parameter of the wearable device worn by the user, then obtaining the posture angle of the wearable device according to the space quaternion parameter, and then obtaining the measurement wearing state of the wearable device according to the posture angle of the wearable device.
Optionally, in a possible implementation mode of the present embodiment, in step 101, a sensor device may be specifically used to obtain the space quaternion parameter of the wearable device worn by a user. The sensor device is fixedly disposed on the wearable device and at a fixed and invariable position relative to the wearable device.
In a specific implementation procedure, the sensor device may be a first sensor device of an inertia measurement unit having a space quaternion synthesis function. In step 101, the first sensor device may be specifically used to obtain the space quaternion parameter of the wearable device worn by the user.
Wherein, the first sensor device is an inertia measurement unit having a space quaternion synthesis function, and may include but not limited to at least one kind of sensor of a three-axis acceleration sensor, a three-axis gyro and a three-axis magnetic sensor. The inertia measurement unit may specifically perform fusion processing according to collected sensing data to obtain the space quaternion parameter of the wearable device. Correspondingly, if the inertia measurement unit only includes one kind of sensor, the sensing data of the wearable device may be three-axis sensing data; if the inertia measurement unit includes two kinds of sensors, the sensing data of the wearable device may be six-axis sensing data; if the inertia measurement unit includes three kinds of sensors, the sensing data of the wearable device may be nine-axis sensing data. This is not particularly limited in the present embodiment.
In another specific implementation procedure, the sensor device may be a second sensor device of an inertia measurement unit without a space quaternion synthesis function. In step 101, the second sensor device may be specifically used to obtain the sensing data of the wearable device worn by the user; and the space quaternion parameter is obtained according to the sensing data. Specifically, it is feasible to perform fusion processing according to collected sensing data to obtain the space quaternion parameter of the wearable device. Reference may be made to relevant content in the prior art for detailed depictions, which will not be detailed here.
Wherein the second sensor device is an inertia measurement unit without a space quaternion synthesis function, and may include but not limited to at least one kind of sensor of a three-axis acceleration sensor, a three-axis gyro and a three-axis magnetic sensor. Correspondingly, if the inertia measurement unit only includes one kind of sensor, the sensing data of the wearable device may be three-axis sensing data; if the inertia measurement unit includes two kinds of sensors, the sensing data of the wearable device may be six-axis sensing data; if the inertia measurement unit includes three kinds of sensors, the sensing data of the wearable device may be nine-axis sensing data. This is not particularly limited in the present embodiment.
Optionally, in a possible implementation mode of the present embodiment, in step 102, the obtained posture angle of the wearable device may comprise at least one of heading angle, pitch angle and roll angle.
The so-called posture angle of the wearable device may be used to indicate a placement state of the wearable device at the user's certain position. Generally, a certain reference position on the wearable device, e.g., a position where the sensor device lies, may be defined as a reference position, and rightward, forward and upward directions of the reference position constitute a right-hand system. Rotation about a forward axis is the roll, rotation about a rightward axis is the pitch, and rotation about an upward axis is the heading. The rightward axis may be marked as x axis of the wearable device, the forward axis marked as y axis of the wearable device, and the upward axis marked as z axis of the wearable device. Then, the heading angle may refer to an angle between y axis of the wearable device and due north and is in a range of 0-360°; the pitch angle may refer to an angle between y axis of the wearable device and a horizontal plane and is in a range of −90°-90°; the roll angle may refer to an angle between x axis of the wearable device and a horizontal plane and is in a range of −180°-180°.
Take a smart bracelet as an example. As shown in FIG. 3, a position of the sensor device on the smart bracelet may be defined as a reference position, and rightward, forward and upward directions of the reference position constitute a right-hand system. Rotation about a forward axis is the roll, rotation about a rightward axis is the pitch, and rotation about an upward axis is the heading. The rightward axis may be marked as x axis of the smart bracelet, the forward axis marked as y axis of the smart bracelet, and the upward axis marked as z axis of the smart bracelet. Then, the heading angle may refer to an angle between y axis of the smart bracelet and due north and is in a range of 0-360°; the pitch angle may refer to an angle between y axis of the smart bracelet and a horizontal plane and is in a range of −90°-90°; the roll angle may refer to an angle between x axis of the smart bracelet and a horizontal plane and is in a range of −180°-180°. The reference position may be 0-180° on one side of the smart bracelet as divided in a vertical direction, and may be −180°-0° on the other side.
In a specific implementation procedure, the obtained space quaternion parameter of the wearable device may be specifically represented as Q(q0, q1, q2, q3)=q0+q1i+q2j+q3k, and furthermore, a coordinate transformation matrix CbR resulting from rotation from a body coordinate system b (namely, a coordinate system of the wearable device) to a geographic coordinate system R is obtained according to the space quaternion parameter, namely,
Since during rotation from R system to b system, the coordinate system always remains a right-angle coordinate system, CbR is an orthogonal matrix and represented as
Then, the posture angle of the wearable device is obtained according to relationship between the coordinate transformation matrix CbR and a strapdown posture matrix:
The roll angle of the wearable device is θ, namely,
The heading angle of the wearable device is ψ, namely,
The pitch angle of the wearable device is φ, namely,
φ=sin−1T32
Optionally, in a possible implementation mode of the present embodiment, the posture angle of the wearable device may be the roll angle of the wearable device.
Correspondingly, in step 103, a wearing angle of the wearable device may be specifically obtained according to the roll angle when a wearing position of the wearable device worn on the body is at a first position.
In a specific implementation procedure, after the user duly wears the wearable device, the body position for wearing the wearable device is located at the first position, and kept at this position for a period of time. Within this period of time, a series of space quaternion parameters of the wearable device worn by the user is obtained according to a sampling frequency, and thereby the roll angle when the wearable device is at the first position is obtained respectively according to these space quaternion parameters. As such, a statistic value may be obtained according to all obtained roll angles of the wearable device at the first position, for example, a middle position or an average value, and then the statistic value is regarded as the wearing angle of the wearable device.
Take the smart bracelet as an example. After the user wears the smart bracelet duly, he extends straight the arm on which the smart bracelet is worn, with the palm being parallel to the ground and a center of the palm facing towards the ground, and remains at this position, called position A, for a period of time such as five seconds. Within this period of time, a series of roll angles of the smart bracelet at position A is obtained according to the sampling frequency. As such, a statistic value, for example, a middle position or an average value, may be obtained according to all obtained roll angles of the smart bracelet at the position A, and then the statistic value is regarded as the wearing angle of the smart bracelet.
In another specific implementation procedure, a jitter threshold amax of the three-axis acceleration sensor may be further pre-set. The jitter threshold amax may specifically be an empirical value such as 0.2 g (g is an acceleration of gravity) to ensure stability of the collected sensing data. After the user duly wears the wearable device, the body position for wearing the wearable device is located at the first position, and kept at this position for a period of time. Within this period of time, a series of space quaternion parameters of the wearable device worn by the user is obtained according to a sampling frequency, and thereby the roll angle when the wearable device is at the first position is obtained respectively according to these space quaternion parameters. After the roll angle of the wearable device is obtained each time, judgment is made for the collected sensing data of the three-axis acceleration sensor by using the jitter threshold amax. If the collected sensing data of the three-axis acceleration sensor is smaller than the jitter threshold amax, a value of a counter will increase by one; if the collected sensing data of the three-axis acceleration sensor is greater than or equal to the jitter threshold amax, the value of the counter will be zeroed out, and meanwhile, all obtained roll angles of the wearable device at the first position will be deleted. Until the value of the counter reaches a designated threshold size may be the statistic value, namely, a middle position or an average value, obtained according to all obtained roll angles of the wearable device at the first position, and then the statistic value is regarded as the wearing angle of the wearable device.
Correspondingly, in step 103, it is feasible to further obtain a rotation change amount of the wearable device according to the roll angle of the wearable device when the wearing body position is located at the first position and the roll angle of the wearable device when the wearing body position is located at the second position, and furthermore, obtain a rotation direction of the wearable device according to the rotation change amount of the wearable device, and finally obtain the wearing position of the wearable device according to the rotation direction of the wearable device.
In a specific implementation procedure, it is also feasible to further output indication information such as indication information in the form of a vibration indication, a sound indication or a lamp light indication or the like, to indicate the user to position the body position for wearing the wearable device at the second position, and remain at the position for a period of time. Within this period of time, a series of space quaternion parameters of the wearable device worn by the user is obtained according to a sampling frequency, and thereby the roll angle when the wearable device is at the second position is obtained respectively according to these space quaternion parameters. As such, a statistic value, for example, a middle position or an average value, may be obtained according to all obtained roll angles of the wearable device at the second position, and then the statistic value is regarded as the rotation angle after the wearable device rotates. Then, a differential value between the rotation angle after the wearable device rotates and the wearing angle of the wearable device is regarded as the rotation change amount of the wearable device.
Take the smart bracelet as an example. After the user sees the indication information, he extends straight the arm on which the smart bracelet is worn, with the palm being parallel to the ground and a center of the palm facing towards the ground, then rotates the arm outward to an extent that the center of the palm faces towards the sky, and remains at this position, called position B, for a period of time such as five seconds. Within this period of time, a series of roll angles of the smart bracelet at position B is obtained according to the sampling frequency. As such, a statistic value, for example, a middle position or an average value, may be obtained according to all obtained roll angles of the smart bracelet at the position B, and then the statistic value is regarded as the rotation angle after the smart bracelet rotates. Then, a differential value between the rotation angle after the smart bracelet rotates and the wearing angle of the smart bracelet is regarded as the rotation change amount of the smart bracelet.
After the rotation change amount of the smart bracelet is obtained, a processing manner may be performing judgment for the rotation change amount of the smart bracelet. If the rotation change amount of the smart bracelet is smaller than 0, a rotation direction of the smart bracelet is obtained as a counterclockwise direction, and then the wearing position of the wearable device may be obtained as a left arm; if the rotation change amount of the smart bracelet is greater than 0, a rotation direction of the smart bracelet is obtained as a clockwise direction, and then the wearing position of the wearable device may be obtained as a right arm.
After the rotation change amount of the smart bracelet is obtained, another processing manner may be further presetting a change threshold bmax. The change threshold bmax may specifically be an empirical value 40° and is used to prevent mistriggering of judgment of the rotation direction of the smart bracelet caused by data jitter caused by tiny acts of the arm. Specifically, the preset change threshold may be used to judge the rotation change amount of the smart bracelet. If the rotation change amount of the smart bracelet is smaller than 0, and less than or equal to −bmax, the rotation direction of the smart bracelet is obtained as a counterclockwise direction, and then the wearing position of the wearable device may be obtained as a left arm; if the rotation change amount of the smart bracelet is greater than 0 and greater than or equal to bmax, a rotation direction of the smart bracelet is obtained as a clockwise direction, and then the wearing position of the wearable device may be obtained as a right arm. Otherwise, the rotation change amount of the smart bracelet is greater than −bmax and smaller than bmax, the rotation change amount of the smart bracelet is re-calculated.
In another specific implementation procedure, the wearing position of the wearable device may include a left arm or a right arm; correspondingly, in step 103, it is feasible to further obtain the position of the wearable device at the wearing position according to a distance between an elbow portion and a wrist portion, a rotation angle of the elbow portion when the wrist portion rotates by 180°, and the rotation change amount of the wearable device.
Wherein, the distance between the elbow portion and the wrist portion and the rotation angle of the elbow portion when the wrist portion rotates by 180° may be a preset empirical value and may be set flexibly respectively for different user subjects such as children, youngsters, males, females and the like.
For example, when the arm makes a longitudinal rotation action, i.e., when the user extends straight the arm on which the wearable device is worn, with the palm being parallel to the ground and a center of the palm facing towards the ground, then rotates the arm outward to an extent that the center of the palm faces towards the sky, two parameters, namely, axial rotation angle and longitudinal position of each point along the longitudinal axis of the arm, may satisfy a certain relationship, e.g., a linear relationship, or again for example, a nonlinear relationship such as a trigonometric function. Usually, the rotation angle of the write portion is maximal and the rotation angle of a position adjacent to the shoulder portion is approximately 0. To simplify processing, the linear relationship between the axial rotation angle and longitudinal position of each point along the longitudinal axis of the arm is approximately processed as a trigonometric function relationship. As shown in FIG. 4, the position of the wearable device on the wearing position may be specifically obtained according to the following formula:
d is a distance between a position of the wearable device at the wearing position and the wrist portion;
d0 is a distance between the elbow portion and the wrist portion;
dθ is the rotation change amount of the wearable device;
θ0 is a rotation angle of the elbow portion when the wrist portion rotates by 180°;
R is an angle coefficient of a trigonometric function relationship, may be a preset empirical value and may be set flexibly respectively for different user subjects such as children, youngsters, males, females and the like;
tan R may take a value resulting from 180°/a distance between a shoulder portion and the wrist portion.
Wherein the distance between the shoulder portion and the wrist portion and the rotation angle of the elbow portion when the wrist portion rotates by 180° may be a preset empirical value and may be set flexibly respectively for different user subjects such as children, youngsters, males, females and the like.
So far, the measuring wearing state of the wearable device is obtained by performing the above operations, and may be specifically represented as a vector having three dimensions, namely, <wearing angle, wearing position, wearing location>.
Optionally, in a possible implementation mode of the present embodiment, after step 103, it is feasible to further obtain a standard wearing state of the wearable device, and then execute an operation of optimizing the wearable device according to the standard wearing state and the measurement wearing state.
In a specific implementation procedure, specifically it is feasible to generate a wearing adjustment indication according to the standard wearing state and the measurement wearing state to indicate the user to adjust the wearable device; and output the wearing adjustment instruction such as indication information like indication information in the form of a vibration indication, a sound indication or a lamp light indication.
As such, the user may adjust the worn wearable device according to the wearing adjustment indication, e.g., adjust a wearing angle, wearing position, wearing location and the like of the worn wearable device, can avoid the problem in the prior art that inconsistency of the actual wearing state and the ideal wearing state of the wearable device causes failure to meet the working needs of the wearable device, and can effectively improve reliability of the wearable device.
In another specific implementation procedure, specifically it is feasible to generate a data adjustment indication according to the standard wearing state and the measurement wearing state to enable adjustment of measurement data collected by the wearable device according to the data adjustment indication.
In this way, it is possible to adjust measurement data collected by the wearable device according to the data adjustment indication, avoid the problem in the prior art that inconsistency of the actual wearing state and the ideal wearing state of the wearable device causes failure to meet the working needs of the wearable device, and effectively improve reliability of the wearable device.
